A PROUD MOM

The 46-year-old might have faced some ups and downs in relationships, but her rapport with her young son is quite enviable. While her achievements are quite profound, Banks values motherhood above them all.

Once speaking about her motherhood struggles, she talked about the traumatic experience that she had with IVF and also mentioned her hopes to have more than one child.
