00:00Being alone has been the most challenging part of my divorce.
00:08I think I'm just going to die alone.
00:10This, you know, just doesn't feel good.
00:13I haven't worn my wedding band for almost two years now.
00:16It just doesn't feel right to sell it.
00:18Do you want it?
00:20No.
00:21But if it's made into something else, then it's put to use.
00:25I have this beautiful house.
00:27I have a beautiful career.
00:29I have amazing kids.
00:31But the one thing that I don't have is love.
00:35Oh, he's cute.
00:37Are you guys on my Araya account?
00:39Hello.
00:40Hello.
00:41I'm here to meet someone else.
00:42No, you're here to meet us.
00:44Where's Tia?
00:46She's not here.
00:47We are kind of catfishing.
00:49If they pass the test, they will get to meet her.
00:51I'm completely annoyed.
00:52And I know that I'm worth more than being catfished.
01:00Let's give this guy a chance.
01:01A fair shake.
01:17I like that.
01:18Hi.
01:19That's him.
01:20OK.
01:21Child's day?
01:23Yeah.
01:24Hello.
01:26OK.
01:27He's tall.
01:29He has a great smile.
01:30Nice to meet you.
01:31It's a real pleasure.
01:33Are you her representatives?
01:34Yes.
01:35I think we might have a good potential here.
01:37We're not going to jump the gun, but I feel good.
01:40I'm really shocked.
01:42Yeah, I didn't think it would be two besties.
01:46We have to, like, assess the situation, make sure it's safe.
01:50OK.
01:51And if you pass the test, so do we.
01:55Let's compete.
01:56Look at the smile.
01:56He's like, all right, let's get it.
01:58Are you competitive?
02:00I like to push myself.
02:02And then sometimes if there's someone around to, you know,
02:04push me, I'm down to meet the challenge.
02:07Well, we have a few questions.
02:08Yes, we do.
02:09We're down.
02:11Do you cook?
02:12I love breakfast food.
02:14I think that's a guy's thing.
02:15I like the morning wear, yeah.
02:17What are you doing right now for work?
02:19I'm a school counselor full time.
02:21I referee basketball.
02:22And I run a nonprofit where we collect sneakers and cleats
02:25for kids in refugee camps and war-torn countries.
02:28Wow.
02:29That's nice.
02:30Yeah, busy.
02:31So how big are your feet?
02:33Size 12.
02:35This is nice.
02:36We can dig it.
02:37OK.
02:38How tall are you?
02:396'4".
02:40How old are you?
02:4137.
02:42Do you have any kids?
02:43I have one child.
02:44Really?
02:45How do you feel about being a stepdad?
02:48That would be new, you know?
02:51But I'd be open to it.
02:54I love kids, and kids love me.
02:56And I think that has kind of maybe been
02:59the reason why I don't go there.
03:00I don't want to break up or be attached to three people.
03:04And I think with the right person,
03:07they could help take some of that pressure off
03:11and just, you know, allow me to be me.
03:13OK.
03:15Seems like he has a great head on his shoulder.
03:18He is about his business.
03:20He has a daughter, so he's not afraid of children.
03:24He's giving us all of the right answers.
03:27Wow, OK.
03:29Noted.
03:30And I don't know.
03:31I like what you're saying, but I got my eye on you.
03:36This one.
03:39Do you know your love language?
03:42Yes.
03:43There's words of affirmation.
03:45I'm big on that, letting someone verbally
03:47know that you're there for them and that you care for them.
03:50That's great.
03:50That's good.
03:51I'll take care of you.
03:52I'll do things for you.
03:54I'll initiate, you know, conversations and dates.
03:56You're always saying all of the right things.
03:57And I do hope that someone, though,
03:59joins the party and also, like, matches that effort.
04:03That's good.
04:05Is it possible that we found the right guy for Tia?
04:08He's checking the boxes, baby.
04:11I feel good about this one.
04:13Do you have any questions for us before you go?
04:15No, but.
04:16That's the first time we've asked.
04:17Your friend deserves, I think, somebody
04:19really good and special, and that's all.
04:23That's you?
04:24All righty.
04:24We gonna see, Charli.
04:26We gonna see.
04:28OK.
04:29I like it.
04:30This could be the one.
04:31Thank you very much for your time.
04:32Yes, thank you.
04:33I appreciate you.
04:46Hi.
04:47Hi.
04:49Oh, my goodness.
04:53How's she doing?
04:54I'm OK.
04:57Why do you have that smile on your face?
04:59Natasha.
05:00I'm just excited.
05:01What is going on?
05:02If Natasha's excited, then you know.
05:03Like, we found.
05:05And y'all are very, very hard to please.
05:08We, like, did the hard part for you, literally.
05:10You just have to show up and, like, have a good time.
05:13And I think he's perfect for that.
05:15OK, what makes him perfect for that?
05:18Well, he's very easy to look at.
05:20Really?
05:22Y'all.
05:24Y'all, like, boing.
05:26He has a great physique.
05:28Really?
05:29This is so weird.
05:30And he has a nice energy.
05:31He's really into giving back.
05:33He has, like, a foundation.
05:36Yeah.
05:37Sierra and Natasha found a guy for me.
05:39And I am freaking out because it's getting real.
05:45We set a date next week.
05:47God.
05:48So you can ask all the questions.
05:49I'm nervous.
05:51All of this is amazing and great.
05:52But you know, it's weird thinking about someone else,
05:58you know?
05:59Like, when you've been with somebody for 22 years.
06:02You know, I have dabbled a little bit into dating.
06:06You know what I mean?
06:07But now, I'm feeling nervous that it's becoming real,
06:12meaning I'm actually going to go out on this date.
06:16And there's potential.
06:17This is the whole point of this, because you're not
06:20hopping back into a relationship right now.
06:22You're just socializing.
06:23Sitting down and having a date and having dinner.
06:26And if it's too much, I will take him.
06:29What?
06:29Oh, my god.
06:31OK, girl.
06:32I'm going to see you later.
06:33God damn.
06:34Is he that fine?
06:35Bye.
06:36Jesus.
06:37Really?
06:38Excuse me.
06:39You should bend the knee.
06:41Don't you know you have to find your loyalty?
06:44Excuse me.
06:45I'm not here to please.
06:46I don't know you, honey, and my loyalty.
06:51Always got to check in.
06:53I feel like that's what I like about you and I,
06:55like our dynamic.
06:56Like, it is work, a work dynamic.
06:58But we care about each other's mental health, which is nice,
07:02because it doesn't always happen that way.
07:04Not in a work environment.
07:06Hail to the no.
07:07All right, so Cairo.
07:10She's turning six.
07:11She's turning six, Ciara.
07:14I know.
07:15You're a baby girl.
07:16So she told me that she wants a princess-themed party.
07:22Go, Cairo.
07:23What I'm feeling is I'm trying to convince myself
07:26that I can do this on my own, you know what I mean?
07:29That I can handle it.
07:31I can totally do it.
07:33I mean, you don't have to do it alone.
07:34You have me.
07:34I can obviously support you.
07:36Like, that's what I'm here for.
07:37I appreciate that.
07:38But I don't want to feel like I'm missing
07:40a step in any kind of way.
07:42I used to do this while I was married.
07:45And I'm going to continue to do this.
07:47It's going to be even better this time.
07:49The kids have definitely gone through a huge transition.
07:53And that transition can be extremely traumatic
07:57for everyone involved.
07:59So I just want to make sure that Cairo is happy
08:03and give her the party that she deserves.
08:07I feel like it's a day for you to celebrate, too,
08:09because you were in labor on that day.
08:12Oh, my god.
08:13I know.
08:14But even though there's lots of happiness,
08:17there's also sadness.
08:20Around what?
08:21Just, like, the fact that she's getting older?
08:22No.
08:23Like, I'm doing this, like, on my own.
08:30And I have to tell myself that just because one person is not
08:34there, it doesn't make the whole experience less than.
08:38So I'm going to put on the best freaking party
08:42I could ever imagine for her.
08:44So she doesn't feel that change in the dynamic
08:47because there has been a huge change in a shift.
08:50I don't want her to feel that at all.
08:52It's just, this is all new.
08:54I just hate change.
08:55I don't like it.
08:55But I have to get used to it because it's life.
09:00So this is the first birthday party
09:02that I am planning, you know, without Kory.
09:06This is a celebration where usually the whole family
09:11unit is a part of.
09:13And I just don't want her to feel any of that.
09:17Bam, so we got all of that.
09:18Oh, I see you have Judy down here in the calendar.
09:22Are y'all outfit prepping?
09:24Yes.
09:24You know, for the date.
09:26Yes.
09:27How do you feel?
09:28Um, you know what?
09:29I'm trying to not have too many expectations.
09:32I'm just going to go have fun.
09:34You know Natasha and I, so the bar is set.
09:37Ha.
09:38You're going to get a good one.
09:39You should be excited.
09:41We did our big one for you this time.
09:42OK.
09:43We feel really confident about this one.
09:44I think you're going to like it.
09:46It's not like speed dating.
09:47We'll see, Ciara.
09:48OK, we'll see.
09:52I have no RSVPs for this party.
09:54Absolutely none.
09:56Nobody's going to show up for Cairo's party.
09:58I am trying to give Cairo the best party,
10:01even while a lot of things are going on right now.
10:05My god, I'm just so overwhelmed.
10:08I didn't want to sell my ring and get rid of it,
10:11because that was throwing my marriage away.
10:15Sorry.
10:17I really have PTSD when it comes to dating.
10:21I gotta go.
10:24Yeah, we lit.
10:25Yeah, we lit.
10:26We can turn the party out till the sun comes up.
10:29Hi, how are you?
10:31I'm good.
10:32I am so excited about Cairo's princess-themed birthday party.
10:38So we got to find a princess.
10:40So our packages are super interactive.
10:43So Cairo will get a tiara, declaring her an official
10:46princess for the day.
10:47I love that.
10:48It's nice that I was able to put everything together on time,
10:53and I cannot wait to tell her.
10:58Cairo, mommy got you some really nice dresses
11:03for your birthday, some Cinderella dresses.
11:07I got a Cinderella cake.
11:09Can I tell you a secret?
11:11Sure, tell me a secret.
11:13I just want llamas.
11:17You what?
11:18I just want llamas.
11:20Oh, wow.
11:21OK.
11:22Ew.
11:23Did she just say llamas?
11:26After I've already confirmed everything
11:29for the princess-themed party.
11:31Why do you want llamas?
11:32Because I like them.
11:34I didn't even know you liked llamas.
11:36OK, so you want llamas, right?
11:38Yeah.
11:39So do you want real llamas there?
11:43With a slide.
11:45With a slide?
11:47Girl, where the hell am I going to get a llama?
11:51But also, what am I supposed to do with all
11:54of this princess stuff now?
11:56Let's go.
11:58Mommy has to start from scratch.
12:01Girl, you and these llamas.
12:05Jesus, take the wheel.
12:07Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
12:12yeah.
12:16I call the shots, keeping my secrets locked up tight and tight.
12:24Sarah, I have no RSVPs for this party.
12:27Absolutely none.
12:28Nobody's going to show up for Cairo's party.
12:30Oh, my gosh.
12:31T, it's been 24 hours.
12:33I am freaking out.
12:35I don't see any RSVPs for the party yet.
12:39But also, I have no idea how I am going to start over with llamas.
12:46I need to make some calls.
12:47Everything is going wrong right now.
12:49Hi, Jerome.
13:13How are you?
13:14You OK?
13:16No, my God.
13:18I'm just so overwhelmed.
13:20Jerome is my cousin.
13:21But not only is he family, he is like my best friend.
13:26I consider him someone that I could vent to without judgment.
13:30He is like my anchor slash therapist.
13:33There's just a lot going on.
13:34I just feel like things just are not going right.
13:38Nobody has RSVP'd for my party, OK?
13:41And the biggest kicker, do you want
13:43to know what the biggest kicker is?
13:44I have been planning a whole freaking princess
13:47party for Cairo, and she told me she doesn't want it.
13:51She wants freaking llamas.
13:53Llamas.
13:55Yeah, yeah.
13:56Well, llamas it is.
13:57Listen, if you get an RSVP, I know I get an RSVP.
14:01So I was calling to tell you, I'm on the way.
14:06You know I need to get out of here.
14:07For real?
14:08I got you.
14:09It means everything to me that Jerome can drop everything
14:14and just come be there, you know, right by my side.
14:19I thought I was coming to see Cairo,
14:20but I'm going to come see Cairo.
14:22It would help you, because we're going to need you.
14:24And you know this will be the first time that you
14:25actually get to see Cairo.
14:27This is insane.
14:28I know.
14:28You've never met her.
14:30Yeah, so it'll be the first time I've ever met her.
14:32Aw, I can't wait to give you huggies.
14:35I'll be there.
14:36I love you, too.
14:37I'm on the way.
14:38Bye.
14:39Bye.
14:40♪♪
14:53Planning Cairo's birthday party has brought up a lot of emotions.
14:59Emotions that I was not really aware of until now.
15:09Sorry.
15:16It reminds me of what was.
15:20And I think the thing is, is that I want to keep
15:25the traditions going.
15:28I don't want to take them away from the kids.
15:34Because at the end of the day, we still are family.
15:37But the family dynamic just looks new now.
15:40♪♪
15:46♪ Now I'm just trying to forget you, forget, forget, forget,
15:53trying to forget you.
15:55♪♪
16:00Now let's sit back on our heels.
16:02Okay.
16:05Open knees wide.
16:07Sit Charles pose.
16:10Sit up.
16:16Exhale.
16:22Namaste.
16:24Namaste.
16:27Good job.
16:28Thanks, Natasha.
16:29That was actually like really therapeutic for me, you know?
16:32Yeah.
16:33Just...
16:35What is happening?
16:36I'm just overwhelmed.
16:38You know, I'm overwhelmed with everything.
16:40I feel like this is the first, you know,
16:43birthday party for Cairo after the divorce.
16:47And I'm already...
16:49Feeling it.
16:50I just want to do the right thing.
16:53You are.
16:54You know?
16:55I know it doesn't feel like it.
16:56It doesn't feel like it.
16:57I know.
16:58Sorry.
16:59I know.
17:01I know it doesn't.
17:04I think that's the hard thing is like...
17:07You have to continue to move on with life
17:11while you are still figuring s*** out.
17:17Yeah.
17:18You know?
17:19Yeah.
17:20And then you have to put on a smile
17:21and that's like everything is like pieces of cream.
17:24And then not projecting what you're feeling
17:28and going through onto the kids.
17:31I'm really, really needing family right now.
17:34I understand that.
17:35So I talked to Jerome the other night.
17:38I miss him.
17:39I haven't seen him in ages.
17:40I know.
17:41Is he coming?
17:42Yes, he's coming.
17:43He's going to help out, which...
17:44Yay.
17:45Is amazing.
17:46Yay.
17:47Jerome has always been my protector.
17:50Like...
17:51He's your safety net.
17:52He is.
17:53I say he's like my anchor.
17:54He knows me so well.
17:57Yeah.
17:58Jerome has seen me naked.
18:01Now that's deep.
18:02I know.
18:03Let him hang.
18:04Let him hang.
18:08We are here for my daughter.
18:11You guys know these aren't llamas, right?
18:12These are actually alpacas.
18:15Did you just sneeze on me, bro?
18:20I want to see like what energy
18:21you want to go into this date with.
18:23I'm nervous.
18:24Oh, you're freaking out?
18:26Mm-hmm.
18:30Ooh.
18:32Ooh.
18:44Your nose in the hair.
18:45She's going to wash your man's hair.
18:50You look good.
18:52Look at your skin.
18:53What are you doing?
18:55Living.
18:56Drinking water.
18:57Minding my business.
18:58And wash my face.
19:01Aw, Jerome.
19:04I love you, too.
19:05I can't wait for you to see Cairo.
19:07Cairo!
19:09Cairo.
19:10Say hi.
19:11Hi, Cairo.
19:12Can I give you a hug?
19:13Hello.
19:14Aw.
19:15How are you?
19:16Good.
19:17You're good?
19:18Cairo.
19:19That's mommy's cousin.
19:21So happy to meet you.
19:22Aw, look at her nails.
19:23I like these.
19:25Are you always happy?
19:26Yes.
19:27That's the best way to be.
19:28And we are almost what?
19:30I'm going to be six.
19:32Tell Jerome.
19:33You're going to be six?
19:34You have a big day coming up?
19:35That's crazy.
19:36What has been going on?
19:37Life has been life.
19:38Here.
19:39We'll talk.
19:40Cairo.
19:41You want to go play?
19:42Yeah.
19:43Okay.
19:44I love you!
19:45Yeah, it's been, it's been, life's been life.
19:47You look so good, though.
19:49So do you, Jerome.
19:51I mean, the last time I saw you was...
19:53August.
19:54August.
19:55Last August, we lost.
19:57Your mom.
19:59I was so close to Auntie Babydoll,
20:01because she was like another mother to me.
20:05So, she passed very quickly.
20:10After being diagnosed with a very aggressive form of brain cancer.
20:15But, just like Jerome, whenever I needed family,
20:19or whenever I needed someone,
20:21she would get on a plane and come.
20:23She, she was just so sweet and kind-hearted.
20:26Healing is a journey.
20:27It is!
20:28Oh, my God!
20:29And it's not a sprint.
20:30I'm learning, because one day you feel like,
20:32I'm the king, I'm the queen of the world,
20:34and the next day it's like, uh.
20:36Yeah.
20:37I don't want to get out of bed.
20:38That was me, yesterday.
20:40It's just like, do you have moments where I've,
20:43I've heard people talk about heart palpitations.
20:46I have, I've had that.
20:47I think that's what I'm feeling.
20:48It's just anxiety.
20:49I'm like, what is this?
20:50I got some medicine, too.
20:51Like, that's the thing.
20:52What medicine?
20:53From the doctor.
20:54I forget what it's called.
20:55It's a medicine?
20:56For anxiety.
20:57Yeah?
20:58Not too much.
20:59Xanax.
21:00No, is that Xanax?
21:01That's not Xanax.
21:02Is it Xanax?
21:03No, Xanax, yeah.
21:04Is it Xanax?
21:05I don't know.
21:06Can I have some?
21:10Half of it.
21:13A girl needs some help.
21:15You weirdo.
21:17You know what I've realized?
21:18I have so much anxiety,
21:20just about this freaking partay.
21:23It's kind of like the straw that breaks the camel's back.
21:25I'm just like, when is this going to get easier?
21:28Tia, let me help you.
21:30Can I help you?
21:31You've been doing hard things your whole life.
21:33It's just, you've been doing hard things with somebody with you.
21:36It just looks different now.
21:39Wow.
21:40It just looks different.
21:42But most important, there is still somebody with you.
21:44Hello?
21:45T.
21:46You have me, you have Ciara.
21:48We're rocking together.
21:49We got this.
21:53Jerome Cumming?
21:56I needed this.
21:58I mean, our family is known for just, like, thugging through stuff.
22:01Like, you'll be alright.
22:03I love you.
22:04We're rocking together.
22:24Where the hell are we, Jerome?
22:26Tia, I'm doing my research.
22:28Oh, this is cute.
22:31Why are we at a farm?
22:33You said she wanted llamas.
22:34Yes, well, listen, I am not dressed properly for a farm.
22:39I have on my Givenchy's.
22:42Nobody told you to dress for the club.
22:44Alright, let's do this.
22:45Oh, Lord.
22:46Oh, my God!
22:48Oh, my God, Jerome.
22:50Hello?
22:51How the hell am I supposed to walk in these?
22:54And no one told you to wear those shoes.
22:56The things I do for Cairo.
22:59Can I get on your back?
23:00Jerome, I can't believe I depended on your ass to find a girl.
23:05My ass feels like it's out.
23:07Hold on.
23:08Jerome, what are you doing?
23:09I'm walking behind you, weirdo.
23:11Why are you doing this?
23:12This is the place.
23:13Okay.
23:14Get down.
23:15Alright, how you guys doing?
23:16So, Jerome, do you want to explain to him why we're here?
23:20So, what happened was...
23:21What happened?
23:22How can I help you guys?
23:23I'm not from here.
23:24Okay.
23:25Somebody needed some assistance finding llamas.
23:27When I Googled it, they brought me to you.
23:30Oh, my God, that llama looks really cute over there.
23:32You guys know these aren't llamas, right?
23:34These are actually alpacas.
23:36Wow.
23:37Okay, so these aren't llamas.
23:40They're alpacas.
23:41Oh, my God.
23:42Oh, that one's looking at us right now.
23:43The black one, right?
23:44Hi.
23:45Why are they coming up?
23:46Why are they coming up here?
23:47You guys want to see them?
23:48Sure, let's do it.
23:49While we're here.
23:50We came this way.
23:51Llamas, alpacas.
23:53I mean, I definitely don't know the difference,
23:56and if I don't know the difference, Kyra won't know.
23:59Hi.
24:00Let me get two.
24:01You want two?
24:02You can have mine.
24:03I don't want to do this.
24:04I'm scared.
24:05Why are you touching my face like that?
24:06How are you?
24:07I'm good.
24:08You can't rent them.
24:09I'm sorry.
24:10You can't rent them, and they're not for sale.
24:14I don't know.
24:15This one right here, the way he's looking at me.
24:19Ah!
24:20Ah!
24:21What is happening?
24:23Did you just sneeze on me, bro?
24:26Did I just scare him away?
24:28It got on my lip.
24:32Wait a minute!
24:33Wait a minute!
24:36That was a friendly gesture.
24:38How?
24:39He's glad.
24:40Thank you guys.
24:41He sneezed.
24:42Bro, I'm good.
24:43Okay, hold on.
24:44Jerome, we are here for my daughter.
24:47Okay.
24:48It is her sixth birthday, and she's asked for a llama party.
24:52But you just told us that these are not llamas.
24:54These are alpacas.
24:55Correct.
24:56Do you have any resources you can share?
24:58Like a place where we can rent?
24:59Yeah, I got a couple people.
25:00I got some contacts I can get to.
25:02That'd be lovely.
25:03See?
25:04You could have called them and asked that first.
25:05I used to like you.
25:06You really pissed me off.
25:08Thank you so much, Nick.
25:10We appreciate you.
25:11Hi!
25:12This is your cousin.
25:13Hi!
25:14No!
25:15Jerome.
25:16Mission failed.
25:17Mission failed.
25:18See?
25:19Give him some.
25:20I don't have any more.
25:21Oh, wait a minute.
25:22I'm getting out of here, y'all.
25:23See you later.
25:24I'm going to find the party.
25:25I didn't do it.
25:26Let's go.
25:29I didn't want to sell my ring and get rid of it because it feels final.
25:36I really have PTSD when it comes to dating.
25:39I can't stay here.
25:40Sorry.
25:47Well, a bust.
25:50Man down.
25:51I'm exhausted.
25:52God.
25:53That was a mess.
25:54I have a headache.
25:55You know what?
25:56I think it's time for me to take control, to delegate and just divide and conquer.
26:02We got to get serious.
26:03Okay.
26:04Back to the drawing board.
26:07Well, I feel like time is of the essence.
26:13I'm down to get on cake.
26:14Doodies.
26:15Doodies.
26:16I got balloons.
26:17Who's on the bouncy house?
26:19You want to take that?
26:20You take that.
26:21Well, maybe not.
26:22Maybe not.
26:23Tia, I really want to understand how you feel like I'm not capable.
26:28You mess up everything.
26:31Okay.
26:32I made one error.
26:34A brother made one mistake and now y'all want to burn me.
26:38Should we do one llama or two?
26:40One.
26:41We're all after seeing those llamas.
26:42Can we please only have one?
26:43Yeah.
26:44I feel like a baby or something.
26:45And let's make sure it's clean.
26:47Okay.
26:48You know, I'm starting to feel that the rest of the party will fall into place.
26:53Teamwork makes the dream work.
26:55We need to do a dance.
26:57Why?
26:58Because you're so corny.
27:00But it's fun.
27:01We're like having fun right now.
27:02The stress has left us because we are all working together.
27:06So teamwork makes the dream work on three.
27:10Llamas.
27:11Llamas.
27:12Llamas.
27:14Tick tock, life goes on.
27:17Sun comes down, turn the music on.
27:20I used to be counting years.
27:23Now I see it's all of you.
27:26Good morning, Tia.
27:27Hello.
27:28Good to see you.
27:29Nice to see you.
27:30You know, in the midst of all of this chaos,
27:33I am, you know, happy to at least be finally picking up Cairo's birthday gift.
27:39Okay, so I'm going to show you the pieces, okay?
27:42Okay.
27:43I took the liberty to choose the chain, but we can replace some of the chains, okay?
27:47Okay.
27:48Oh, my gosh.
27:49Exciting.
27:50Sorry.
27:51There's a lot of emotions that are going through my mind right now
27:54because I think it also feels very final.
28:00Do you know what I mean?
28:01Yes.
28:02That's letting that ring go.
28:03It's also liberating, right?
28:04Yes.
28:05Okay, so I'll show you the pieces, okay?
28:07Okay.
28:08Oh, God.
28:10Okay, so here is...
28:14Oh, my gosh.
28:18Cree is going to love this.
28:22And here is...
28:25This is beautiful.
28:29Oh, my God.
28:30And now I have a surprise for you.
28:33This is yours.
28:38How do you like it?
28:41I love it.
28:44I...
28:45Don't worry about it.
28:47I didn't want to sell my ring and just get rid of it,
28:50and I think that's why I had it just sitting there
28:53because it didn't feel right to just get rid of it
28:57because that, to me, was a symbol of me throwing my marriage away.
29:02My marriage wasn't all bad, you know what I mean?
29:05There were some great, amazing memories there, too.
29:07I mean, and the best gifts that I received from my marriage are my two children.
29:14So to be able to give them this means a lot.
29:22This feels amazing.
29:23Thank you so much.
29:24No, thank you.
29:25My pleasure.
29:26Just going to put these guys in a bag, and we are ready to go.
29:28Okay.
29:29All right, awesome.
29:32Why aren't you getting ready?
29:34For the date, right?
29:36Yeah.
29:38What scares me about dating the most?
29:41Everything.
29:43So why are you saying...
30:01Hi.
30:02How are you?
30:03What are you doing?
30:04Why are you talking to the...
30:05What is happening?
30:06Why am I talking to the llama?
30:07Because it's so cute.
30:08Look at how adorable it is.
30:10How are you feeling?
30:11I'm feeling good.
30:12Are you?
30:13Yeah, I am.
30:14You look cute.
30:15What else?
30:17In the beginning, I was in my head a little bit.
30:19You live there.
30:20You live there.
30:21I do.
30:22You live there.
30:23But it's all good.
30:24No, listen.
30:25It's all good in the hood.
30:26Oh, we have some guests coming in.
30:27Okay.
30:29Good job.
30:32I just feel your name with you beside me.
30:37I want, I want your name with a beautiful party.
30:45I want, I want your name with a beautiful party.
30:51I want, I want your name with a beautiful party.
30:58Yo, this llama rolled up like Beyonce.
31:01Llama, diva.
31:02Diva, llama.
31:04You want to sit down with mommy and the llama?
31:06Yeah.
31:07He's so cute.
31:15Cairo is happy.
31:17That's what's more important to me than anything.
31:20Happy birthday to you.
31:26Girls!
31:35I just want to say thank you so much, Jerome and Sierra,
31:39for just being here and being in my corner and being my supporters.
31:44You guys are just amazing.
31:47And I think it was hard for me to lean on to people
31:52and allowing other people to come in
31:54and to love on me.
31:56And I think you just have been a great example of being there for me
32:01and treating, oh my God, I'm about to cry.
32:03Of course she is.
32:05Let it go.
32:07Cairo definitely reminds me of Tia.
32:10She got a little attitude.
32:12She feisty.
32:14She does what she wants.
32:16But she's really gentle and loving like Tia.
32:20Definitely like her mama.
32:22That's her mama.
32:23She get it from her mama.
32:30Hi, Cai Cai.
32:32What are you doing?
32:34I want to go to sleep.
32:36You're trying to go to sleep?
32:37Well, before you go to sleep, mommy and she have a little gift for you.
32:40But I just have some questions to ask you.
32:42Wait, we can't open it up yet.
32:44So, did you enjoy your party today?
32:47Yeah.
32:48What did you like about it?
32:51The llamas, the llamas, the llamas.
32:53So, you like the llamas?
32:55Yeah.
32:56Did you like your balloons?
32:58Yeah.
32:59Okay, look.
33:00Mommy got you a gift.
33:01And this gift is from mommy and daddy.
33:03Look at that.
33:07Do you like it?
33:13Do you want to go to bed now?
33:15Yeah.
33:16Okay, come on.
33:17Good night.
33:18Good night.
33:21Good night.
33:33It's going to be good.
33:34You're going to have such a good time.
33:35I'm happy for you.
33:36Okay.
33:37I want to see, like, what energy you want to go into this date with.
33:40I'm nervous.
33:41Okay.
33:42Do we know where we're going?
33:43Are we going to a club?
33:44You know, poom poom?
33:45Club?
33:46Because that's a different vibe.
33:48That's like a fifth or sixth date.
33:49I feel like I need to feel comfortable.
33:51Not going to be comfortable in this.
33:55You know this is a little hard.
33:56Not with the heart.
33:57As you walk away to the restroom.
33:58Oh, my God.
34:01Or as she walks out.
34:02Or, excuse me, like, you want him to be in here.
34:04Yes.
34:05Like, excuse me.
34:06I'm going to go to the bathroom now.
34:07Oh, my God.
34:08Okay, so, we always love.
34:09Oh, that's cute.
34:10A little schoolgirl.
34:12Kind of that look.
34:14Okay.
34:15So, there's this blazer we have.
34:16Okay.
34:17Silky pants.
34:18Okay.
34:19A bodysuit.
34:20We love this look.
34:21Yeah.
34:22Still very sexy.
34:23Yeah.
34:24Very Tia.
34:25Yeah.
34:26And then there's this look.
34:27That's fire.
34:28I think I'm going to like that.
34:29Exactly.
34:30And then we have a good back thing.
34:31Okay.
34:32So, it's the lace with that.
34:33That's cute.
34:34Is everything black, Judy?
34:35Yes.
34:36I know Tia's body.
34:37I know what she's going to like.
34:38If I'm being honest, it's more about how I feel.
34:40A few years ago, I was living more in my masculine energy.
34:44It wasn't like embracing my feminine side.
34:47And I feel like now, I'm living my authentic life.
34:51I just appreciate you guys being with me on this journey.
34:54You know what I mean?
34:55Because all of this is new to me.
34:56I have never done this in my entire freaking life.
34:59Oh, my God.
35:00Okay.
35:01Oh, goodness.
35:02You're freaking out?
35:03No pressure.
35:04It's going to be good.
35:05You're going to have such a good time.
35:15Hello?
35:16Hi.
35:17What are you doing?
35:18I'm freaking making dinner for Cairo.
35:19And I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
35:20Because I'm making a salad.
35:21And I know that she doesn't eat a salad.
35:22Why aren't you getting ready?
35:23Like, you have to leave soon.
35:24Yes.
35:25For the date.
35:26Right?
35:27Yeah.
35:28First dates.
35:29Oh, my God.
35:30Oh, my God.
35:31Oh, my God.
35:32Oh, my God.
35:33Oh, my God.
35:34Oh, my God.
35:35Oh, my God.
35:36Oh, my God.
35:37Oh, my God.
35:38Oh, my God.
35:39Oh, my God.
35:40Oh, my God.
35:41Oh, my God.
35:42Oh, my God.
35:43First dates are nerve-wracking as is.
35:46And now I have to get everything together.
35:49The babysitter should be there shortly.
35:51And you should be preparing to get ready.
35:55God be with her.
35:56OK.
35:57I got to go.
35:58Bye.
36:00F***.
36:17Hi.

37:19So, how are ya?

37:22Good.

37:24Oh, I'm thinking there's water in here.
37:26Water, please!
37:27Yeah, water, please.
37:28So, I am very, very nervous.
37:30And what I tend to do when I'm nervous is laugh.
37:37Oh, my God.
37:38So, I know nothing about you.
37:41Same.
37:42I know your name is Charles, right?
37:44Yes, Charles from Rhode Island.
37:47Oh, okay.
37:48And where are you from?
37:50Born and raised?
37:51So, I am from all over the world.
37:53So, I am from all over because my parents were in the army.
37:56Okay.
37:57So, I was born in Gellhausen, Germany.
37:59I only know nine and Guten Morgen, that's it.
38:03Nice, nice.
38:04That's a start.
38:05And then I lived in Texas for a while.
38:08And then I lived in Hawaii for a while.
38:10And then L.A.
38:13Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
38:14May I get you guys started with any drinks?
38:16Do you know what I thought?
38:17Water was in here.
38:18Oh, yes.
38:19Would you like some water?
38:20She looks so good just drinking water.
38:22Yeah.
38:23Hanging out with the water and that.
38:24Yeah, it was good.
38:25It was cute.
38:26It was cute.
38:28I really have PTSD when it comes to dating.
38:30And I think it's because being vulnerable and opening yourself up to someone new that you don't even know.
38:41It scares me.
38:44All righty.
38:45So, I have a Chilean sea bass, a baked potato, a sauteed shrimp, and a crab cake with pretzel bread.
38:50All that.
38:51Sounds good.
38:52Love it.
38:54I'll be back over shortly.
38:56So, do you have any kids?
38:57I have a daughter.
38:58A daughter.
38:59So, yeah, she's seven.
39:00Seven.
39:01She's gorgeous.
39:02Oh, my God.
39:03I have a six-year-old.
39:04A six-year-old daughter.
39:05Her name is Cairo.
39:06And then I have Cree, who is turning 13 next month.
39:09Okay.
39:10Yeah.
39:11They are my world.
39:12I'm a little mad.
39:13He is.
39:14I feel like he's starting to really act like a teenager.
39:16Yeah.
39:17But my kids are my world.
39:18I can imagine.
39:19Yeah.
39:21In the moment, I am not thinking about my ex, but it just feels weird.
39:26Because it's just weird to me to be getting to know someone besides my ex.
39:32So, what do you see, like, in a partner?
39:36Like, what is it that you're, like, looking for in a partner?
39:40Relationships.
39:42I don't want it to feel like a task.
39:43Yeah.
39:44A job every day.
39:45I want it to be something that I want to do.
39:47Yeah.
39:49I want to listen.
39:50I want to be interested in those things.
39:52Yeah.
39:53I really, really, really want to be inspired by someone.
39:56Someone who supports me and what I have going on.
40:00Someone who I can support and what they have going on.
40:03Whether it's my favorite thing or not, they're my favorite person.
40:09That's what I'm looking for.
40:10Yeah, I think that's beautiful.
40:11Someone who inspires me and who I feel I inspire and help.
40:16We're iron sharpening iron, you know?
40:18Oh, I like that.
40:19Yeah, I mean, I think that's beautiful.
40:22I think I share that as well in the sense that I just get excited about being a part of life with someone else.
40:31So, why are you single?
40:37Why am I?
40:39Dream girls are rare.
40:40You're the dream girl.
40:42Let me say that.
40:43Oh, my God.
40:45I'm single because people who chase their dreams as tenaciously as you reach and achieve them don't fall off a cliff mentally, physically, or in any other way where you could technically lose yourself.
41:00It's rare.
41:02This date went really good.
41:04I mean, listen, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, didn't they go on a blind date?
41:09Who knows?
41:10I might find my Prince Harry.
41:12I will say, if he doesn't call me for a second date, which I am open to, so be it.
41:19I'm proud of myself for at least being open enough to go on a blind date.
41:26Proud of you.
41:28So, yeah.
41:30But you know what?
41:31I gotta go.
41:36I'm sorry to be so blunt.
41:38This was wonderful, but I got two kids at home.
41:41I can't stay here forever.
41:43Not forever.
41:44No.
41:45Let's pick it up another time.
41:46Okay.
41:47I'll give you my number.
41:48Okay, sure.
41:49Yeah, sure.
41:59Yep, gotcha.
42:00Perfect.
42:01Gotcha.
42:02Tuck the babies in.
42:03I'll check in.
42:04Just make sure you got home safe.
42:06It was so nice meeting you.
42:08Yes, thank you so much for everything.
42:10I'll walk you out.
