“Isn’t it great?” Consuelos asks. “It’s the greatest feeling ever,” Menounos responds.
“Does Kevin, does he change diapers?” Consuelos asks.
“Yeah, he does. He hasn’t done a lot of them,” Menounos reveals. “So yesterday, before I left, he was changing her diaper. And you know, when you’re not doing it all the time, maybe you’re not great at it.”
“So I’ll fix a few things in there, and try to keep him confident. Don’t want to break his confidence. ‘You’re doing great honey, just a few minor adjustments,'” she says, turning to the camera. “Honey, you’re doing great!”
“Yes, it’s very important to boost confidence,” Consuelos confirms.
“And Athena, Mommy misses you so much already,” Menounos says.
