It’s always tough to jump back into the dating world following a divorce, but for Kelly Rutherford, motherhood has made the already challenging task that much harder.
After filing for divorce from Daniel Giersch while pregnant with their second child, Kelly is not looking to upset the balance she has managed to attain as a single mother. That is, unless her Prince Charming makes an appearance! “I guess if it was an incredible person,” she muses, before adding, “but you know, when you have kids you’re so picky.”
According to the actress, a possible suitor would not only have to impress her, but also her two kids.
“You’re not just thinking about how you would relate to somebody, you’re thinking about how your children would relate to someone. It’s a whole different thing.”
Aside from her responsibilities as a mother, the Gossip Girl star’s career has left little time for much else. “When you’re a working mom, you’re just busy all the time,” she notes. “There’s just never enough time in the day.”
The same couldn’t be said before having children, however. “There was a day years ago when I probably would’ve been bored between takes, but now it doesn’t happen,” Kelly admits. “I have so much to do. It actually enriches the work, I think.”
That said, if Kelly finds herself in need of a night out on the town, she need not look far for babysitting services! After bringing both kids along to the set of Gossip Girl, Kelly’s co-stars Blake Lively and Leighton Meester have made it clear that they are always on call. “I say, ‘Alright, when you guys are done with all the exciting stuff in your life, come on over to my house, we’ll hang out and you can babysit,” Kelly jokes. “It’s so sweet — it’s so cute.”
