Rachel Bilson is getting real about what it is like to date as a single mother.
If you don’t know, Rachel and her ex, Hayden Christensen, are parents to a four-year-old daughter Briar Rose Christensen.
Rachel went on The Viall Files podcast with Nick Viall and said, “I was talking to this guys a few months back, anytime I would bring my daughter up, they would never pursue the question or ask more about her. It was a red flag because anyone that you’re going to get involved with, if you have a kid, they have to be all about the kid.”
“I always put it out there [that I have a daughter.] She’s my world and I talk about her all the time. How f–kid up would it be if I hid that?…If you’re going to pursue something with someone, they have to be interested in the kid or be willing to be around the kid,” Rachel continued.
“She has not met anyone as of yet and it would have to be someone I know I’m going to be with. It would have to be a very serious relationship,” Rachel said of introducing her daughter to any boyfriend.
Rachel also spoke about keeping Briar Rose out of the spotlight.
“They don’t choose to be in the limelight, you know, themselves. When they’re old enough and they want to pursue it and that’s what they do then that’s fine. But it’s not like I want to promote my kid or put her out there,” she said.
