"Having kids is probably one of the areas that's the toughest. Dealing with a certain amount of celebrity and the scrutiny that goes along with it is hard," she explained. "When that overlaps and they start scrutinizing your kids and comparing? That really hurts. Really."

"It's the one thing that I can say has been the biggest bummer of being famous because you never want what you are doing to hurt anybody," she continued. "And Alexa really got hurt by things that the media would say about her and continued to say about her through the years. It was really hard on her and I think it's really hard."
