She continued, “I cannot wait to watch her on TV. I haven’t watched the show in a few years, but seeing her, I’m such a fan of her. I love how authentic she is, and I think she’s really going to bring in the views. So I would just say, enjoy it, because I know she’s going to do such a great job, and have so many people support her.”

Sluss has shared several life moments as a new mom on Instagram, including showcasing Lucas’ adorable nursery and how the couple is adjusting to parenthood.
Speaking with Us Weekly on Dec. 8, Sluss touchingly shared that the most rewarding thing about being a mom was “extending our family. This is our first grandchild on both my and my husband’s side, so being able to see our son with his grandparents has been like the greatest joy.”
Earlier in the interview, Sluss also shared just how “much more appreciation” she now has for mothers after welcoming her son. “I really have enjoyed it,” she said of motherhood.
