“I don’t need to be told to be ever present in the hardest of times. I don’t need to be told to weather a storm with a good man,” the Oscar winner continued. “So if that’s what you have…. Think about what kind of parent he would be. Think about what kind of parent you would be. And what if something happened? Would you both be great parents to those children even if you didn’t make it as a couple. Think about the children first.”
