Lucy also opens up about her fitness routine, saying she recently committed to regular strength training and pilates sessions.
"I like to feel like a badass and to know that I could kick someone's ass. So I do pull-ups and do squats with the big-boy weights. I even flipped one of those big tires once. And I just discovered pilates," she says.
"My butt has never been higher, and my abs have never been stronger. Our bodies are so amazing and resilient, and we don't give them enough credit."
