“Maybe a week and a half later he texted me and asked me out on a typical, proper date and from there on I definitely knew that I really liked him.”

Roz also opened up about whether or not she wants kids in the future with Zach, admitting her mind “changes all the time.”

When asked by Ryan if she wanted to have children, she said: “I don’t know…..I see my friends and family with kids and it's exhausting…I still don’t feel like I’m ready”.

Roz also acknowledged that she was “scared” to look into the question of whether she will be able to have children or not; “maybe I can’t have kids.… “I’m at this age now where I’m scared to look into it."
