And Ali, who revealed she was in a relationship with someone “wonderful” during an appearance on the She Pivots podcast in July, also detailed what made her finally feel ready to getting back out there.
“I think, finally, not feeling numb anymore,” the 40-year-old noted to E!. “Waking up and not really thinking about my past. [Instead], waking up and thinking about my kids, my future, the people I absolutely adore and love spending time with. I think that was the shift.”
But it took time to get there.
“Also, just through my healing process,” Ali continued. “I think when you are in something for so long and you jump into something new, it’s really difficult to make sure that all of the negative feelings are gone. You want to make sure you’re giving that next person and next relationship the proper growth and healing that you’ve done.”
