Marissa Jaret Winokur Can't Recall Life Before Baby

After a whirlwind surrogate pregnancy during her stint on Dancing With the Stars, followed by the juggling act of first-time motherhood while hosting Dance Your Ass Off, Marissa Jaret Winokur has finally found the perfect solution to spending uninterrupted time with her 13-month-old son Zev Isaac.

“I love going in the pool with him where no one can call me,” she reveals.

“I can’t answer the cell phone, and I can’t get an e-mail. It’s really, really good private time where nothing can get in my way of just being alone with him. There’s nothing too important — because when you’re in the pool you have to give 100% attention.”

Much like she discovered the secret to quality mother-son time together, Marissa and her husband Judah Miller are still learning the ropes of parenthood. However, while still considered relatively new parents, the 36-year-old laughs she struggles to recall her life before baby! “I don’t remember what I did after 6:00, ever. I’m like, ‘What did I do?’” she muses.

“‘Because he goes to sleep, and I’m home with him asleep, and I’m like, ‘What did I used to do then?’ I don’t remember what it was like.”

I just love Marissa!! She seems so down to earth and very thankful for the life she has been given. Zev is just the cutest thing ever, and obviously the apple of his parents eye. I don’t know what Marissa and Judah have planned for the future, but I hope it includes more cuties like Zev. I wish this family only the best, the deserve it.

Thats sad…Marissa turn your phone off. Set boundaries with work. You don’t have to get in pool to have quality time with a child. I just think she should be able to have guilt free time with Zev more easily..I’m not criticising HER…she seems lovely…

I have no idea who this woman is at all, I only know of her through this blog. And I have to say I love her and her photo opp exuberance! Hands down this lady is the most genuinely genuine ‘celebrity’. I love her smiles— her kid is cute too!

Mom Said It

"I had to make a decision that I could sleep with every night. I did feel responsible for the young girls who I probably confused and let down. I apologize for that. But I wasn't trying to glamorize teen pregnancy."
