"I definitely would get married again. I still believe in love … I'm not one of those people that's like 'we need to get engaged, we need to get married.' No, absolutely not," she said. "I feel like that's going to come, just like with the baby, let it come. I'm not forcing anything, so if it happens, it happens."
