As the “Nope” star gets adjusted to motherhood she took some time out of her busy mommy schedule to give props to single parents all over the world. She posted a heartfelt video message with the caption, “I ain’t gon’ lie, I’m gettin’ COOKED!”

“I just came on here to say, if you’re a single parent, pull out your cake. Matter of fact, clip off your angel wings because I don’t know how you guys are doing it. And I really don’t want this to sound like pandering, or something like this, because I know there’s a million and one reason why somebody wants to be a single parent or has become a single parent. You might have lost somebody, don’t want to deal with somebody or maybe it’s your choice.” “

She went on to emotionally say, “But when it comes to raising a kid, I’ve already learned in these short few days that it takes a village,” she shared.

“And sometimes that’s a privilege. And I just want anybody out there that’s a single parents that’s been doing this—friends of mine, people that I don’t know, family members of mine—really in my heart, it brings tears to my eyes. I am just truly, profoundly impressed.”
