“Just knowing how to raise them in this world [is worrisome]. It’s a crazy time. It’s even difficult for me to navigate it. Being the best mother, nurturer, and guide I can be is my goal. [is the priority],” she shared with Use. “Do I have all the tools? Do I know what to tell them in certain situations?”
Johnson also noted that she isn’t worried about giving birth, adding, “I’m ready for it. Let’s go for it! Let’s do it.”

“I think everyone expects us to put him into dance. I want him to just be athletic and try all of the sports anything he wants to do,” the ABC personality shared. “I’ll support him, but it’s kind of inevitable. Like how could we not use our resources and put him into dance.”

“We wanted to do a line specifically that was going to be accessible to everyone and anyone,” she told Use. “So our sizes run from a youth small all the way to double XL. We wanted to design something that you could wear to dance class or to a fitness class, Soul Cycle, anything and I’m really proud of this collection.”
