“It’s been around for a while. I decided to make him wait two and a half years,” Lainey said.
“He knows what it’s like to chase a dream because he did it for himself. He was in the NFL.
“He literally tried out for the Steelers and made it and had a great season with them. He went to the LA Rams and did that.
“But I’ll tell you, he’s as good as gold. He supports me, he would never get in the way of anything I’m trying to do. He’s like, ‘Go ahead, girl.’ And I made him wait a while, I mean… It’s been a little over two years.
