The 45-year-old revealed on Instagram that she has received warnings about the “dangers” of reality television on a marriage. The couple responded with laughter.

“Honestly it’s the best job I never knew I wanted. In my circle I’m the last of the mohicans,” Sherrod is quoted on EgyptSherrod.com. “All my friends have kids graduating from college, and I’m still having babies. But I have zero regrets on waiting until later in life. I’m settled, grounded, and can actually laugh at myself now when I make mistakes. No mother is perfect.”
