Despite appearing to be the dream wife and mother with the dream family, the ugly truth is that Jennifer’s fairy tale marriage is falling apart thanks to her husband’s wandering eye for pretty young things. As with anybody in her situation, she tries desperately to try and get their relationship back on track, but it takes a toll on her – and portraying such a broken and pained character left such an impression on Bernice that she teared up while talking about it.
“The whole ride for Jennifer has been very emotional,” she said. “Even before I started filming and read the script, I felt so much for her on a two-dimensional level, on paper, right off the bat – she’s so real and I knew I would get attached to her.”
When asked if she drew from any real life experiences of wanting to mend a failing romance, Bernice replied, “Oh yeah, you have to, whether it’s from yourself or your friends. There’s no way you can think up feelings like that from nowhere. I think everybody has felt that way before.”
The last time we spoke to Bernice, she mentioned that making this show reminded her of the importance of finding a good partner in life. So what kind of man makes the cut for her?
“He has to like kids. It’d be tough if he didn’t want kids because I already have seven dogs! (laughs) And they have to like big families because my family is so big, whenever we have dinner gatherings we take up four tables.”
