This is the Ben and Ashley I, Almost Famous Podcast with IHartRadio.
Welcome to the Almost Famous Podcast today. It is just me, and I am joined by Catherine
Gigi, Jujillo. Wait, oh my God, how do I even say your last, you're,
original last name.
Nobody knows.
Judice?
Are you glad that it's gone?
Yeah, I know.
Well, it's actually not gone.
Okay, it's not gone.
So have you changed your name for real for real or just go by low?
Is that a secret?
So sometimes I have, I know.
And he actually this year he wants me to finally give him my, give, trade it out.
So why is that this year?
Because my plan is maybe when the kids start going.
to school. And I know that Samuel, your oldest, is starting, is it kindergarten or first grade?
He's kindergarten. Oh my gosh. You're right. So is, so, so what's, is that why? Is it because, like,
we're becoming like official in the school stuff? Yeah. Oh, finally. No, just he's tired of
being saying, oh, I'm due to chief. But anyways, it's fine. Are you attached?
I am. Me too. Yes. I mean, it's a little bit more flavor than they have. So.
That's because exactly, because you and I are going from Italian cool last names to like very, like, blah, like low and Hayden.
So now I'm Catherine, I'm White. I am white.
Oh my gosh. Yeah. So I don't know when I'll do it, but I'll do it. But I have so many questions about motherhood and wifehood marriage that I have a whole different life now than when we last had you on the show. I was a wife when you were on the show. But like,
being a mom and a wife. It's totally different. So first question is, do you and Sean have
similar parenting styles? And when is the time to kind of go about those conversations? I guess like
right away, right? Well, honestly, I don't even know what you would have a conversation about
before you actually parent them because when you're doing it, it is very different. Things that
happen organically, we are definitely very, very similar in how it actually plays out. So we didn't,
neither one of us are very, like, planned people were kind of lax in general. And so I think that
kind of goes into our parenting styles. So we couldn't have a conversation about it before we
had kids. We had no idea what to expect. So yeah. And now, now we're totally the same. We love to
be together as a family. And that's like our number one priority.
and that makes it nice for both of us to be, to have that same goal.
So when you're in my position, you had seven-month-old.
You've done it three times, so I need advice from you.
And I know that there's a lot of young moms and moms to be that listen to this podcast.
So I don't think this is just pertaining to me.
Strict scheduling with a baby?
Like, how do you do a life and have scheduling for a baby?
I mean, doing it three times.
Sleep training?
Like, I'm very bad at all.
this? Well, I think that every family is so different and their schedule is different and their
goals are different. There's a lot of, and I love to just respect what other people want to do
because every family is different. So if you want, as a mom, if you want to go out to dinner,
bring the baby and have them sleep during that time, that is totally up to you. You have the
instincts for your child. I totally think that you should just trust.
what you know that and you you know if your baby can handle something or not you can test it out
you can have amnesia and try it out again i mean there's that's every day for me every day i have a
regained spirit of hope that like it's going to be uh i'm going to do the same thing and it's going to
be different but then again that's also known as um what is it just being stupid well my my sister-in-law
told me something that was really profound that i still like to say is it's their first time
too. So they don't know any different. They, they know what they know from you. And I think mostly in
any of the scheduling and any of the parenting things, they mostly read your energy. And that's how
they're going to kind of react. So if you're chill and you go out to dinner and you want to take
them to dinner, hold them and do the same kinds of things. I think they're going to read more of your
energy and like you're, if you're settled and at peace, then if they're going to bed. But that's, that's, that's
I feel like people know their schedule. They know their comfortability level. So I think trying
stuff out and seeing what works through your family is the best way to go about it.
Gotcha. Thank you. Thank you for that advice. And then on the marriage front, you did this with
Sean. So now I'm really curious. And I feel like, I feel like a lot of people have to do this.
I get this in my questions a lot. You moved to his home state, his hometown, right? And why was that? And
How did you deal with it?
Well, honestly, he had a very solid family situation here.
I grew up next door to five cousins, uncle, auntie, and grandma.
So doesn't that make you sad that you're away from that?
But they aren't in the same place anymore.
My sister lives in France.
My other sister lives in Oakland.
My dad lives in Mexico.
So, like, they're all kind of disjointed.
So the only way I could try to recreate that is to stay here.
Gotcha.
Okay.
Okay, okay, I like that. That's nice. All right. I know you guys can't see Catherine, but she looks stunning and I, well, I have to say I look probably better than the fact that I'm getting four to five hours a night of sleep. And it's because of Loxton. I'm obsessed with Loxton. I love like so many of their products from their almond shower serum oil. It's so good to just their hand wash, their classic hand cream, which is so beyond.
hydrating. I'm obsessed. But the stuff that I've been using at night to make me honestly look
like not that bad for being a really tired mom is the immortal overnight reset face serum
and the immortal overnight reset eye serum. So the eye serum and deep puffs under the eyes. It reduces
dark circles. It smooths, fine lines. And truly, guys, I'm looking at, like, my dark circles,
not bad. I wouldn't even say that they're really there. And then, like, it's not puffy. You'd think that
I'd wake up with puffy eyes with this little sleep, but no. And then the immortal face reset serum
also smooth, fine lines, leaves your skin looking really radiant, which I feel like my skin has
looked never, honestly never looked better, which is super weird given the circumstances. But
it looks good. It looks like I've had a good night's sleep even when I have it. And then their divine
cream, it's great for creating a brighter, more even skin tone, younger looking skin, and it's
gentler on your skin than retinol. And I know this from experience. I do use retinol. I also
alternate nights and the immortal divine cream is effective and gentle. And one last thing that I love
about Loxone that I just have to mention is their commitment to nature. They've been sustainably
sourcing their ingredients since the beginnings of their company. So I know that I'm taking care
of nature as I'm taking care of my skin. I've stopped chasing after different kinds of
skincare products, thousands of them, because Loxytown has everything that I need. I invite you guys
to try it to and get started. Here's $20 off your purchase of $75,000.
or more, plus free shipping, it's the code podcast. So code podcast, you can get $20 off your purchase
of $75 plus dollars and free shipping. You go to loxaton.com and use code podcast. It's a really
hard spelling. So listen carefully. L-O-C-C-I-T-A-N-E-Loxetan.com promo code podcast.
professor is way too friendly and now
I'm seriously suspicious. Oh, wait a minute, Sam.
Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra
credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week
on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon.
This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his
young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem,
but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting
we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.
Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds
totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person,
this is her boyfriend's former professor and
they're the same age.
And it's even more likely that they're cheating.
He insists there's nothing between them.
I mean, do you believe him?
Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him
because he now wants them both to meet.
So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not?

I'm taking you on an exciting journey of self-reflection.
Am I ready to enter this new part of my life?
Like, am I ready to be in a relationship?

Grazie's Come Again, is back.
This season, we're going even deeper
into the world of music and entertainment
with raw and honest conversations
with some of your favorite Latin artists and celebrities.
You didn't have to audition?
No, I didn't audition.
I haven't auditioned in like over 25 years.
Oh, wow.
That's a real G-talk right there.
Oh, yeah.

content creators, and culture shifters

You were destined to be a start.
We talk all about what's viral and trending
with a little bit of chisement, a lot of laughs,
and those amazing vivras you've come to expect.
And of course, we'll explore deeper topics
dealing with identity, struggles,
and all the issues affecting our Latin community.

because you have to do the code switching?
I won't say whitewash because at the end of the day, you know, I'm me.
But the whole pretending and code, you know, it takes a toll on you.

And now we have to talk about, you know,
this really cool big thing that you're doing, you're teaming up with Lysol to talk about
healthy schools. It is their initiative here for healthy schools. It's a program designed to help
welcome children back to clean, disinfected classrooms while enabling students to learn and thrive
in an educational environment. So I guess this is the first full year that a lot of kids will be
going back to in-person learning. Did you have to deal with any of that remote learning for
your kids because I mean you got youngies youngies yeah that's a new word for me I did yeah
they they we didn't really we were very blessed to not have been affected but now going back
into school knowing that we can trust that they're going to to thrive together I mean they love
being together my kids love to be with their siblings but it's a totally different dynamic when
you're with kids that are your age learning the same thing
going through life together.
And Lysol with the Here for Healthy Schools initiative is so,
it's such a strong campaign because parents and educators all want the same thing for their child.
It's to learn and thrive at school together.
And so what Lysol is doing is making sure that it's a clean environment,
a safe environment for the kids to go and for the parents to trust
that they're sending them to go learn and not to go be scared.
They're also doing this really cool thing on YouTube.
It's a series called Little Big Talk
And they put kids in a room together
And it's not really led by an adult
The kids just carry on these conversations
I guess they're given a topic
Or led into a conversation
And the kids just talk to each other
Maybe or they just, yeah
Or yeah, who knows?
It's really adorable
You're gonna cry when you watch it
Yeah
Because you cry, I cry
I cry and you cry
Yeah
It is so cute
It's so it's YouTube
It's so cute
watching these kids. I just started cafeteria duty at my kids' kindergarten. And it's just so fun to watch
them have authentic conversations with their friends. I don't know what they're talking about.
They're talking about silly stuff that kids should be talking about. And we're making sure that
the lunch table is clean and they're just being their authentic selves and talking.
It's so cute. Can you give examples a couple of conversations that are already up on their YouTube?
I think someone talked about like a good, like something creaked in the background and there was like
Oh, was that a ghost?
It's just cute, innocent moments of these kids saying what they ate for lunch and what are they doing after school.
And there's this one girl who's gabbing about herself and all the other kids are laughing because she just, she won't let anyone else talk.
It's just innocent moments that if you have parents of young children that are of talking age, you can understand that that's really how they act.
And that's what they want to do is not have a parent be listening or a teacher be listening in on their conversation.
And they're just really sweet, innocent conversations.
They're so cute.
the same time they seem so adult. I'm like, how these kids so articulate? And they're like so in touch
with everything. There was this one that was about like talking about when they feel most confident
or something like that. It was really adorable guys. So it's on Lysol's YouTube. All right. So
I have to ask more personal questions as far as like mothering and stuff. How do you possibly
have a second child? How do you have like how? How is how? How, how, how, how, how, how, how,
at that point, like, do you go, and I would like to add more chaos to my life?
You'll get over the hump.
Don't worry.
Is there a hump?
And then just like, yes.
Well, I feel like, so for us, seven months was probably the time where it was the
transitioning time.
Okay.
We did sleep training until seven months.
They were out of our room at seven months.
Okay.
Seven and a half, eight months is when they were in their own room.
And so that was a totally different chapter in parenting.
And then for, you know, four months, whatever, we got sleep.
And we're like, wow, we could, because the love that you get from this child and, like, you and your partner get to witness and experience is so wonderful and overwhelming.
When you get sleep and you're not like completely zombie, you got like four hours of sleep instead of two hours of sleep.
You decide, oh, let's do this again.
Oh, yeah, 1,000%.
We're going through something right now.
It's been two straight months of him waking up every three-ish hours.
um it's with he's waking up with a lot of gas too like he's like throwing his legs up in the air and it's
like tooting and in a really hard belly anyway we're trying to figure things out but it is definitely
difficult now but of course we're going to have another one that's the thing it's like but of course
and you need that like i keep jared's like are you kidding like Jared wants to have like that
family of four but he also is like how in the world are we're going to do it we can't do it now
do you find it easier to your kids are like kind of like two two years apart all the way through two
two and a half years apart which is I think the perfect age difference is it easier when like the
kids starts to be able to communicate and walk and all that stuff to be able to add to the family
yeah yeah I mean you get to have this really I feel like seven months when you get to have
Irish twins, that's really overwhelming. And you can't really fully be present in the magic that is
a one child. Yeah. Because I remember one of my favorite trips I ever took was in New York with
Samuel and he wasn't yet a year. And it was the best, I was my best buddy. We spent like 13 days
just exploring the city together. And I still got to do what I wanted to do. But you kind of,
it's just, it's a, it's a very special time. And I think right after his one year is when we start.
started to decide to have a second child. But you still have those time. You still have those
moments for nine more months. Yeah. So I just, I think siblings are so special. I have really
great sisters and I'm so grateful to have sisters. And I'm very blessed to be able to give my
children siblings. Speaking of siblings, I hear that you're interested in adopting. Is this
something we're going to be doing? Or I mean, obviously you're not going to confirm here, but
Is that really, is that on your, is that on your goal list for the near future?
I think so right when I met Shaloh and I met his family, he was very interested in adopting.
And I'm open to it for sure.
I think it's such a commitment and something that you have to be fully 100% on board with.
So we're researching it.
We're exploring.
We love our family right now.
I love to, I love biologically giving birth and having.
that breastfeeding. I love it. You love biologically giving birth? That is a special thing to say.
I like having baby. I like to be pregnant. I like the breastfeeding stage. I love infant stage.
Can we trade bodies next time for me? Like, can you want to be my surrogates?
I actually did look into being a surrogate, but I can't because I had to be sex. So, I mean,
that's how much I do enjoy being pregnant and having babies. But, you know, our family is really perfect
right now. So we're going to continue to learn and explore that very beautiful commitment
of adoption. But right now we're, it's a lot of chaos. I feel yeah. I feel yeah.
My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly and now I'm seriously suspicious. Well,
wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota,
it's back to school week on the okay story time podcast. So we'll find out
This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot.
He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her.
Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.
Now, hold up.
Isn't that against school policy?
That sounds totally inappropriate.
Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age.
And it's even more likely that they're cheating.
He insists there's nothing between them.
I mean, do you believe him?
Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet.
So, do we find out if this person's boy?
boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not.

What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison
or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth?
Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced.
He said, you are a number, a New York State number, and we own you.
Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are shorthy.
short-term, highly regimented correctional programs that mimic military basic training.
These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline,
physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs.
Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six
months.
The first night was so overwhelming, and you don't know who's next to you.
And we didn't know what to expect in the morning.
Nobody tells you anything.

Isn't it weird the way that we both have kids that are like blue-eyed and blondeish-haired?
Like I know.
I understand.
I am nanny.
I am nanny out there.
Yeah.
That's what I joke with too.
My mom is like, people are going to think that you're, that's, you're the nanny.
Because I don't, I mean, I understand genetically how he got blue eyes.
Do your, does your family have any background of blue eyes?
My dad.
Oh, okay.
So my dad was blonde and like green eyes growing up.
Um, and yeah, they just put, but chongel's genes are strong.
I guess so.
I was like, I'm going to have a birthday.
Nope.
No brown baby over here.
I don't know.
I got one.
I got one out of...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I noticed...
Probably.
The next one's definitely going to be probably what I imagined looking at.
I'm like, Dawson is absolutely insane.
Like out of this world beautiful.
But I'm like, I know that next time your sibling is going to have to be...
It's going to be brown and the sibling is going to be jealous of all your blue eyes for the rest of its life.
Anyway.
And then we want to ask a question on behalf of Ben.
and Jess, what do you, was there a time that you and Sean were like, okay, it's now, we're going
to have kids now, we feel settled and ready for the next chapter? Or do you think that people
never really feel ready or are prepared for it? I don't think that people even know what to prepare
for unless you're like really a nanny or like something in the child care realm. We,
all three of them were surprised.
move like in the fact that like okay maybe maybe we'll start trying or you know but i think having
again family planning is such a subjective thing that whatever makes sense for the couple and make
you know if they don't ever want to have kids whatever if they want to have kids before they get
married or if they want to have kids when they're you know like at their honeymoon and i feel like
it's such a subjective thing that you just have to be on the same page as your partner.
That's it because it's your life that will be changed and you have to make sure that that
person is going to be there because you need partners are so important when you have young
children.
I couldn't have done it without Sean Lowe.
I love the way that you refer to him as Sean Lowe.
I know.
I'm sorry.
If you know that or daddy.
It is hilarious.
Do you call him like when you're calling him around the house?
Sean Lowe.
Daddy and then if I'm like introducing Sean law yeah that's hilarious and I love it one
syllable is weird yes I don't know Sean seems to like short I don't know
I don't know to me yeah but it just seems like too casual I don't know I don't know it's weird
it's absolutely hilarious and I love it do you ever get tired of talking about mommy stuff
because I do feel like no no okay yeah it's definitely like one of those things that once you are a mom
your whole life revolves around the child that it's it's nice to talk to other people about it
because it's new you like want to just find that commonality you're not annoying them
i have friends that don't have kids yeah and i feel like i'm annoying that i talk about my kids so
yes you it's it's it's easy to talk to other moms especially in similar stages of life because
i mean that's it's your life it's your it's a huge part of your life and so
I get it.
Yeah.
And I'm never tired of it.
Oh, okay.
Well, that's nice because I'm sure you're interviewed about it all the time.
Do people still talk to you about the franchise whenever you see them?
Do you feel an obligation to keep up with it?
I do.
I do, but I also just enjoy it.
I think what they've created has consistently evolved to keep up with what the viewers want.
And I appreciate what they do.
It's really entertaining television.
that and the paradise.
I really just enjoy it.
You know, it is a commitment.
And I never watched it before I was on it.
But I definitely support them still because I think it's,
I kind of want to still be in the family.
And if somebody needs me to help that,
like I helped some people during Dancing the Stars
because it's a very challenging time.
Yeah, because he did it while you were together.
And a lot of times those relationships don't work.
yeah so i i like to kind of keep up so that if somebody needs me and it's just entertaining
would you give a gabby like are you assuming that gabby is with somebody now that she's doing
dancing with the stars or do you think that she's not with somebody because she's doing dancing
with the stars that's a good question i was thinking maybe she's not yeah me too i don't think
that the show really wants them exactly like the bachelor wants them to do it i think they discourage
jump. But Caitlin did it. But Caitlin did it years later, you know? Oh, she, yeah, she did. Yeah,
because she finally got to do it. But yeah, I mean, I don't know, though, because Gabby's really
popular and maybe this, they're going to try again. Yeah. Maybe it's actually a good thing,
I know. I know. Well, it could be with a girl as that instead of the guy. Yeah. Well, okay,
but before I let you go, I just got to, I got to know what are your final predictions for this
season? Who are the girls ending up with anybody or not? Um, as a whole. And how was your take on
the two bachelorette's.
It was a challenge.
I think for all around, everybody kind of knew it was going to be a challenging
season, a different one, unprecedented one.
And I think they handled it well.
Jesse's doing a great job.
I hope that they end up with people.
I love Eric for Gabby.
I don't know for Rachel.
I really don't know.
But I'm excited to see.
I think Rachel seems like somebody who is going to be in it for the long haul thing
with Gabby, but I've just been really enjoying watching the season. I support them. It had to have been
so tough to be in that position, especially during the early weeks of the guys, kind of taking
control. So I know. It was definitely a hard watch to watch the girls feel not in the lead in that. But
yeah, it was good to watch and I support them, whatever they choose to. All right. Well, Catherine, I could
continue talking to you over and over for hours because I want to know how you can look so cute
and have three kids and how your house can look all cute and all that stuff. But I have to let
you go right now. Again, guys, Catherine is teaming up with Lysol for their Here for Healthy Schools
Initiative to keep schools nice and clean. And you can check out their YouTube series, which is
Little Big Talk. Catherine, thank you so much for being here. We'll talk to you soon.
Thank you. Bye. Thank you, Ashley.
