Kim admits to being nervous when her friend asks if she's anxious in the video. "I'm terrified," she confesses. "I feel like it’s time for me to kind of talk to the children and let them know that I’m seeing somebody."
But, while it may be time, she is unsure if she is prepared.
Kim said, "I know some people wait until they know they’re going to marry the person to introduce them to their children."
She then added, "I know some people introduce right away, but this is all new to me. I’m trying to figure it out. So I don’t know. It just feels like now is a good time."
Her buddy stated she didn't tell her kids about her love life until she knew he was going to stick around and be in their lives, "but you know your kids better than me."
