Describing a recent incident, D’Cruz recounted a moment when her child was crying in the back seat while she was driving home. She pulled over, comforted him, and tried to soothe him. However, as soon as she placed him back in his car seat, he resumed crying.
Although typically reserved about her personal life, D’Cruz candidly discussed her partner. Reflecting on his support, she became emotional. Confirming her marriage to Michael, she expressed, “Married life is going beautifully. It’s really hard to say what I love about him the most. I’ll have to really think, because I feel like every time I come up with an answer, there’s something else that you know trumps that the next day.”
Describing her partner’s role in her life, D’Cruz acknowledged that Dolan has been there for her during both her toughest and happiest moments. She emphasized his unwavering support and love throughout.
