Engagement

Marriage and Relationship

Four years after they started dating, they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Malibu, California. Sara recalled the event, saying:

"We decided that we wanted to be together and enjoy people’s company because I think people miss that part of their wedding. We wanted to bring everybody with us down the hill and have this communal feeling."

Third Child

The couple was already raising Sara's two kids from her previous relationship when they decided they wanted to have a baby of their own.

"I loved it and felt totally empowered, but also, if I’m being honest about it, my life was slightly out of balance. I wasn’t able to spend as much time with my three kids as I’d like, or time for myself," Sara said about her decision to leave "The Talk."

She plans to spend her time bonding with her family and finishing her son's baby book along with venturing into new acting opportunities.
