"My mother walked into the room and said, 'I think this is a terrible idea,'" Garten recalled during an interview, highlighting her mother's disapproval over her marriage to Jeffrey.
"He just took total delight in me," Garten shared, emphasizing how Jeffrey made her feel valued and encouraged her to pursue her own passions early in their relationship.
"If you don't, you won't be happy," Garten recalled Jeffrey advising her, a sentiment that fundamentally shaped her outlook on life and independence.
"I was like, 'Why would I want to re-create that nightmare that I just came from?'" Garten explained, reflecting on her decision to not have children.
