As Joan’s children Ally, Nick, and Nick’s fiancée Brooke join them, the lively discussion quickly turns to her potential romantic pursuits on camera.

Joan laughs when asked about kissing another man on TV.
I’m going to have to get used to that because you don’t want to be with somebody that you don’t like to kiss, so you have to try it out. I’m probably going to kiss a fair amount of guys on camera. I’m sorry, guys.
Naturally, her children react with surprise. Son Nick and daughter Ally both exclaim a synchronized
We were not expecting that answer.

Whoever that guy is,

we want you to be happy.
