Now, the singer and actress has said she was stressed about turning 40, because it took her a while to accept her age.
"That was a really random thing, because I haven’t put jeans on through the whole time, I’ve been in sweats. I am like embracing the quarantine life, yeah. I freaked out two months before I turned 40, not knowing what that age would even mean anything to me but then it’s like 41, 42, I’ve never calculated my age until now. I’m accepting it slowly,” she said during an appearance on The Jess Cagle show.
