The 38-year-old, who described herself as “reclusive” in a recent issue of Shape magazine, revealed that after being off the grid, she’s now “made peace” with being a public figure and “embraces all the things that made me uncomfortable.” She added, “I had to find a place in which I could be happy. And now I very much am.”
