“Once I woke Jay up, then I got really nervous, like, really scared,” Kristin admitted. “I start shaking. I was able to process then what just happened, but until that point, I was not scared. I was really calm.”
Thankfully for the former couple, who announced their split later that year, their children weren’t woken up during the break-in—and are still unaware of the incident, which resulted in the man stealing cash the family had in a backpack. (According to Kristin, they were able to get the money back.)
“My kids still don’t know that story, too,” Kristin added. “That’s just one that I think would really scare them, that someone broke into our house, was crawling on the bedroom floor.”
“I will not tell them probably until they’re adults,” she concluded, “because I just think some things kids do not need to know.”
