“When it comes to mine and Duck’s relationship, there’s going to be some things that we can’t escape and people are going to say and do whatever, but me and him are on the same page about the less we put out there, the less that we’re going to have to deal with people making anything up and saying anything,” Lainey explained.

“We want to keep that as sacred as we possibly can between me and him, and so far, it has worked for us,” she added.
