“So, they’re both Googling each other, and they decide to meet in Nashville. What’s really funny… on that particular weekend I was leaving when Eric was coming in. So we cross each other in the airport, and I met him. He was very sweet,” Parker revealed to podcast host Jennifer Vickery Smith.

As the two continued their candid conversation, Smith responded, “I know what was in his head — ‘If this girl is anything like the mom I just met, this is going to go well.'”
Parker added that she’d never thought of that, but “that’s what he said. So he was excited, like, ‘I know what [Jessie’s] gonna look like one day.'”
