Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hey everyone, welcome to the Almost Nice Podcast. Today we
have Sidney Warner on the podcast. You guys may remember
her from Highlot Pede season when she was Sidney high
Tower and now she's married to an NFL star, Fred Warner. Welcome, Sydney. Hello,
sed Dunning creature. I was gonna put makeup on for
(00:29):
you today. I was like, I can't be on Zoom
with Sydney, who's like a girl crash of mine, and
not look decent. And then I just got lazy and
I was like, I'm taking nap time to just sit
on the couch and watch a crime documentary.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
After my ramble about how beautiful and wonderful you are,
You're so nice.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Seriously that means a lot, especially right now, and you
look stunning.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
So I'm ready.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
I had so much stuff to do later, but I
am so good. I feel like I haven't talked to
you or.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Seen you in so long.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
And I remember, like when you were pregnant that I
would like always I wasn't pregnant, but I was just
talking to you about it because I like lived through
your experience.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yes, I remember that. Yeah, but I'm good. I'm doing great.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Everything's really good over here.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah. Okay, So how many months pregnant are you right now?
Speaker 5 (01:20):
So I'm my sixth month. I am twenty four weeks.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
All right, how are you feeling. How's the entire thing been?
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Oh my gosh, So I'm feeling totally good.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I mean everything starting off, pregnancy is like than the
number one scariest thing to me.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
I've never been more scared of anything in my life
than pregnant. That was me.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Okay, I was terrified and then it was as awful
as I thought it was.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
But I was particularly scared about birth, Like that was
my number one fear. And everybody has a different story
and experience, but like, my my encouragement to you is
that it's that's not as scary as you think it's
going to be.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
And that's honestly, I'm more scared. I was more scared
about pregnancy, and then I'm just kind of like the
mindset of like what goes in must come out, So
I was like, what it is, Yeah, the birth part,
So just pregnancy is what I was most scared of.
So finally me and my husband like talked about it.
He wanted to get pregnant way before I did, but
I finally was like, Okay, I feel.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Like it's time.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
So we decided to do it, and ever since then,
I've had the best experience. I mean, I was scared
about my skin because we had talked before, like our
lackdown from before, and I was like so scared because
I had to get off of it before we even
started trying and all of that. But fingers crossed, knock
on wood, everything has been so good and I feel
(02:41):
like I'm just like this weird chameleon like everything. I
work out five times a week, Like, I've had a
little bit of this thing called round ligament pain, but
kind of normal with everyone, so I haven't. My skin's
been primarily totally fine. So I've really just been extremely blessed.
And I'm not take this for granted because this is
(03:01):
probably I don't know if this is normal.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
So I don't know. I'm just hoping.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I'm not in my third trimester yet, so you know,
things to get crazy, but right now, everything's okay.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, USh, I'm really happy for you that it, like
specifically because you weren't scared. I mean, because because you
were so scared and it just turned out to be
not that scary.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
I'm scared.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
What were you for?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
What specifically were you scared of, like if it was
not just your skin, but beyond that, So beyond that.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I think i'm really uh internally, like I work out
a lot, and I'm really I'm really like health focused
and I work a lot about just being like not.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Being able to move and being a Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Also, I don't think people some everyone's different, but the
weight in is very gradual, and for some reason, I
just thought that I was immediately going to gain all
of this weight and not recognize myself and feel crazy
and not be able to like be as mobile as
I wanted. But I think just everyone's different, but me
being able to still work out and feel like myself
has been helped me a ton. So I was just
(04:04):
kind of scared of just everything changing at once and
me not feeling like myself and being in pain and
throwing up and my skin going crazy and just feeling
like nuts for nine months.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
But I think that.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Now I'm going through it, it's so gradual change, it's
not all at once, just for me specific, Yeah, I
was just just terrified.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
I'm not a good person with change.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
So I was extremely terrified of just the change of
pregnancy and all of the body craziness that comes with.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
It, but also just I don't know.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
I was also really.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Scared of just like my baby being like healthy and safe,
because that's something I don't really talk about much, is
like every milestone, you get all these updates, and it's
scary because you're not in control, so you never know.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
But it's just a lot. I'll think all of it
was just scary, all of it.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, as somebody who did have an awful pregnancy, but
I have I have encouraging words for anybody out there
in the midst of a pregnancy or thinking about going
through it. Even if you're like me, where it's nine
months of misery and you do lose yourself for nine months,
you will come back.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I was so scared that I'd be like, am I
ever like feel pretty again?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
And you feel pretty before you know it.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
That's so good. That's so I mean, everyone's not. It's
just so wild how you can have completely different experience.
Everyone is so different, every presence, everybody, everyone, It's just
it could be you know, you're you're miserable for nine months,
you know, like you're throwing up all the time.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
I feel like, so that just sucks.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
On a personal note, lots of people ask me about
Sporona lactone right now or like all the time actually
in my DMS, because iways talking about my acting and
how that I think is like the number one band
aid for it I have. I've been off of it
for four months now, and I've been very pleasantly surprised
that I also haven't broken out from the withdrawal. Yeah,
(06:01):
so just like you and not celebrating some clear skin.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I think it's something.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
It's something to give herselfs some classic and the Lord's drug.
It really is. It's incredible, like changed the game for me.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
So when I and I experienced it, I was like,
this is this is incredible And then it was so scary.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
I was so scared.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I know, like, everything's good so far. I can't wait
to get back on it after the feeding. But yeah,
so far it's been fine.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
But that's good.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
I'm so happy that you've been cool too.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
That's yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I don't know who knows what it is, but I'm
happy that it's clear right now. Okay, So fred Is
seems on Instagram to be like such a supportive, wonderful,
sweet soul husband. Is he as wonderful as he seems
on Instagram with your pregnancy and taking care of you
and all that.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Yeah, No, he actually is.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
He's like he's this He's an incredible human being. And
even more so I get to say that because he's
my husband and he's never wanted anything more than to
be a dad and I did not experience that until I.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Never wanted to be a mom until like literally this year.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So he is like, help, yeah, we got to dive
into this.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Yeah, so he is like helps me be like happy
and excited and not scared. But he is so excited.
This is like he's never wanted anything more in his
life than to be a dad. So he is like
counting down the days. I could not have like lucked
out with the most supportive partner through this, especially being
someone that's scared of pregnancy. So I'm so lucky and
(07:35):
he's so excited.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
So that is so so sweet.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
So I always knew I wanted to be a mom,
but I never had what I would call baby fever,
Like what even when I was like thirty three and
I was like Okay, that's probably about the time that
we like because I got prignant when I was thirty three. Yeah,
it's like, yeah, okay, we're trying, but it's not like
like I could still deal without it for right now,
Like I love my life, Like I'm so sick scared
(08:00):
of this change and responsibility. So I guess I know
what you feel when you say that, like you didn't
want to be mommy.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I wanted to be a mom but like but it
was just so intimidating. So is that how you felt?
Is that what you mean?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
And like I always knew I wanted a family. I
like grew up in Alabama, so like it's very like
just like get pregnant, have babies, get pregnant, have babies,
get married.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
And I just kind of broke out of that cycle
a bit.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
And when I put out of it, it was almost like
a rebel of like no, like I'm not going to
settle down, I'm not going to have kids. But then
I meet my husband, and of course you when you
fall in love with someone, all you want to do is,
you know, make something beautiful together. So thinking of that
in that aspect of something that's going to add to
my life and not take away and like bog me down.
You know, it's just a complete shift of mindset when
(08:52):
I did it the way that I think I was
supposed to do it, because before then I was just like,
oh my gosh, like I just don't want to have kids,
to have kids and to settle down just because it's
what you're supposed to do. But when I finally found
that that's what I that's the trajectory by how my
life was going, and it this is what was making
me happy and just the.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Thought of making something with him, and it's just now
it like.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Brings tears in my eyes, Like I I am so
excited to be a mom and like have a baby
and a best friend and like someone just like it's
just like incredible. But what you know, also what my
body's doing right now is just incredible. So it's just
funny how you go from one mindset and then as
soon as you soon as I decided like okay, no,
like I'm ready, like I want to do this complete
(09:35):
complete shift of your mindset, so you know, yeah, and
also just not like change like I'm so used to
just like getting up and doing what I want and
being so bigy. Yeah, the complete life change. You have
to be ready for that, and I take it very seriously.
I think that's why I waited.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Until I was fully ready, so that I could not
have fear and be excited and not worried.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
You know, yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
What is one thing that people say to you, whether
it's a comment or a question about pregnancy or motherhood,
that just like gets under your skin.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
That happened to me often for some reason.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I think whenever I talk about, like, you know, the
newborn minds, and they're just like, oh, man, get Freddie,
You're gonna oh, just like kind of like I'm just like, okay,
Like I know it's gonna be hard, but let's you know,
instead of going that route like tell me the positives
about how it's only eight weeks and like you need
to cherish these eight weeks of this your baby being
that tiny, and not so much about like you're never
(10:42):
gonna sleep, you're never gonna see your partner, you're never
gonna get like all these negatives. That's truly scary. And
I know I'm gonna go through those things, which is fine.
I'm I'm a realist, but also like, maybe let's not
make it as negative, and I don't know.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Just when they say that.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
I'm like, I know totally, I'm totally ready for all
those hardships, but also I'm also going to be able
to be with my you know, eight week old baby,
and then after that, they're not like newborns anymore. So
I try to think of it like that, but that's
always like kind of scary when people really talking about
that born stage and how you're going to like be
a zombie.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
I don't know, but let me just tell you something.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I love the newborn phase to me, And yes, I
think I was different. Like you're saying that you're pregnancy
eas easy, well I thought I think perhaps my postpartum
was easy because I realized that like, yeah, I was
sore as hell, like I couldn't like first, like are
you kidding me? For like a couple of weeks I could,
like I could not walk around the house. But I
(11:40):
don't remember that. I just remember how honestly, yeah, he
would wake up every couple hours, but like then you
have an easy fix. You feed them and it's like
all right now, like in the toddler years, they're freaking
out and you don't know why because they're trying to
communicate and they can't do it effectively. So I just
that the new and days were amazing because all you
(12:01):
got to do is like lie around and snuggle. Like,
does lying around and snugglings sound bad?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
No, Like I'm excited for that.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Of course, I'm nervous because there's a whole these challenges
of breastfeeding, and that's another scarity. Yeah, will come to
me about and they're like, oh, breastfeeding and you need
to and I'm like, I know, I've heard it's really scary,
like just yeah, so I just but I know I've
totally cherished as moments of just like being alone with
your baby and just not having to really like do anything,
(12:30):
of being kind of just in your house with your
husband and they're not you know, so.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
It's the best.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
See I didn't breastfeed, which is probably why that part
was a little bit easier for me. Well yeah, so
that's that should be said. Okay, fred is going to
be in a great position of the year right when
you give birth, because the season will just be about over.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Yeah, so we will be just about over, depending on
how long we go in playoffs.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
If we make it to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
If we do make it to the Super Bowl, I'll
be around thirty six thirty seven weeks. Yeah, I know,
we'll see. I can't worry about things that aren't here yet.
But you know, of course that's the objective of the year,
so we'll see. I mean, I it's in Vegas, so
we live in NorCal So if we you know, I
(13:23):
would just drive today. Yeah, if that was happening. But
also it's just those are our challenges. We'll deal with
when we get there. But I'll definitely go into all
of the I'll try to go to all of the
playoff games if we make it there. But once the
baby is actually here, yes, it will be off season
and we'll be able to have those, like you no
fun newborn months together, which was amazing.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Yeah, that could not have been That could not have
been more prevarently planned.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Yeah, and we've planned it out because we did, Okay,
we had.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
We knew if we didn't get pregnant within two more
months of trying, then we would just have to stop
and just try next off season.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
So do you mind me asking how long it took?
How many months were trying?
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Yeah, So we started trying and we got pregnant with
them three.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Months, okay, yeah, so I just I only ask to
ask because I get DMS about from people asking me
like how long it took us, which was seven months,
and they're starting to feel discouraged around.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
The three month point, and it's just like, you know, just.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
It's funny because every you know, it's not it's of
course you get discouraged always like, but we started trying
and I had no I didn't expect us to get
pregnant that bath, but I did have that little ounce
of discouragement that third month, and I'm like, you're being easy, Sidney,
like it's only three months, but then that was the
month that we did get our positive.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
But yeah, I can't seven.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
That's it's ever.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
It's so tough, and I didn't realize that until I'm
like in this new world of mothers and fertility and pregnancy,
and it's like it's it can be intense.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
But I also, I'm.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Sure it has nothing to do with it. But I've
never been on birth control, so yeah, body.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Yeah, I don't have anything to do with it. But
I was in my mind, I was telling myself that
it was a positive.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
No, yeah, definitely some positive thinking I feel like always
kind of sort of helps. Soh man, I just I
follow your Instagram quite closely.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I really just enjoy everything you post. I just like
love your Like, is it weird for me to say
that I really enjoy following your wag life? No, No,
I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Okay, everything you do is like so it's like so
pretty and so like just like just seems quite blissful.
And can you let us in on just what the
social life is with the team and all the wives
and girlfriends.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
What's the wag life like at the forty nine ers.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
So there's a lot of wives and girlfriends on the tea.
There's so many guys on the teams. You don't really
realize that until you're in it.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
So many guys.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Olivia girlfriend, Olivia Colpo, is also a fellow she is.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Oh yeah, she's a fiance.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Wife.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
And you know, it's different because there's some there's a
lot of women somewhere in the depths of their you know,
having babies and being pregnants where I'm at right now.
But before that, I was just like, you know, you know,
young and going out with that group. It's kind of
like grouped off a little bit to where a little
bit like that, who like with ever season of life
you're in, But there's so many of us. We all
(16:29):
have crazy schedules we do. There's so many things that
the team actually plans for us to get together and do.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Which is nice.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
It's the Niners is a really like tight knit community.
There's so many teams and I talk to some girls
that are like come here from other teams and they're like,
the Niners are just so close knit. It's really big
on community and getting us all together. So it's it's
a lot of us, but it's good. Like everybody has
their own lives and everything's going on, but whenever we
do have like social things, we have parties at coach
(16:58):
Shanahan's house and so we all get together. So yeah,
it's yeah, we're all pretty close.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
That's really nice. You have a nice building community and
supports system there. Yeah. So how did you guys meet Fred?
Speaker 5 (17:10):
And I?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Yeah, so we met.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Because his family watched my season of The Bachelor.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
No, because I remember, didn't you did you have a
football boyfriend before the show?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
No? I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Okay, I thought that you had an athlete boyfriend for
some reason or maybe it was just because like I
was thinking that when you got with Fred that maybe
you guys had been in touch with before the show.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
But anyway, can continue.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
No, Yeah, so we met because his family watched the
show and they were just watching and then he was
single and his brother like or something reached out to
him and was like, hey, there's this girl on the
show that she seems like your type.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
D da da da dah. I guess physically, but you're
everyone's type physically.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
He like watched a little bit of the show and
all that just that he ended up like dming me
and I was like the week where was the woman tall?
Speaker 5 (17:59):
And we ended up meeting.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
In Orange County because that's where the Wintell was and
then that's where he was training for his off season
football training. So we met there, had dinner, and then
that was kind of it. We just knew we wanted
to like date and get to know each other and talk,
and then it just like progressed, progress progressed, and now
we were expecting our first child.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Together, so my gosh, So it was quick like it
was right after the show when the show.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Yeah, and I had like already like signed my contract
to go to Paradise.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
And I was like, you know, like of course I'm going, like.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
I'm so excited, and then like COVID hit and that
he keeps the date kept getting pushed back, and then
I'm only like talking to Fred and dating him more
because I don't know if I'm going, like I don't know.
So all that to say, COVID got canceled everything. It
was all everything happened exactly the way it was supposed
to because I'm not going to go to guys when
I'm dating this guy, and it was actually serious at
(18:51):
that point, so that wasn't on the table. And then
after that we just like dated. I always say we
kind of dated with a purpose. We knew that we
wanted it to be serious.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
We just didn't know.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
How long or like how to navigate it. But we
did long distance for a while, and then we decided
to just like go full in, so we did.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Were you a football fan before, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Because I'm from Alabama and I went to yeah, Blabama,
so like it's always been a huge.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Part of my life. So it's just funny I ended
up marrying when that played football.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
It's amazing because if you weren't on the show, like
The Bachelor. You got married from the Bachelor too, because
if you weren't on, you wouldn't have connected never.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Ever ever crossed paths with him. We would have never
known each other. So I am so thankful for that
show and like doing it and meeting all the people
that I did. It was so fun and I'm just
like so thankful because I would have never met my
husband if it wasn't for The Bachelor.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
So yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
So on your TikTok, you're sharing some NFL secrets, anything
you can tell us, Oh my gosh, anything that you
haven't put up there yet.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
I feel like I've said a lot, almost too much.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Do you want to know anything?
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Going over and check it out because it's all there.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Okay, Now I feel like I have a question. I
just really I need to come up with a question.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
I have a question for you.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I know yours is a huge Tom Brady fan and
now retired, Like for sure, who's your husband's team.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
And you're not, like it's just so sad, like it's
just not the football season is not the same whatsoever,
especially because his team, which will still you know, is
the Patriots.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
They're so shy that it's like really hot.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
It's been a really depressing season, letting go of calm
because there's just not much root for because I'm a
Giants fan and they're just as crappy. So it's just
like a really sad football season in our house.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
He did you watch the Bucks at all because of Tom?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
You know?
Speaker 3 (20:56):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
No, the Bucks was solely just because of Tom being there.
But we have like we have Bucks merch around the
house too, just like and can remember to.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Switch over from the Patriots to the Bus. He's a
true Patriots fan.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah, he's a true page. Oh no, no, no, we we did.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
We declare her Yeah yeah, we declared herself Tom over team,
and we were we were more Bucks fans for those
three years than we were Patriots fans. Like when they
did go ahead to head, we rooted for Tom. Okay,
but he really got me, like he got me into
the Tom spell.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
The Patriots was Mac Jones, who was football for Obama.
He was a product for Alabama for a while. Okay,
I wanted him so bad selfishly to come to be
to be with the Niners, and then we passed on
him and we al was like my gosh, like we
passed on him. We got brought party and it's working out.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
So yeah, yeah, it's working out quite well for you guys.
I think it worked out for the best. I know,
how many more years does he have on his contract?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Fred?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
So right now he's in like his second contract and
so not this offen, but next offseason they'll kind of
reevaluate and we could get like five more.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Years here or if we get zero years here, who knows.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Does that stress you out that like you you for
the foresee, the future won't have like your your home
place could just change basically anytime because he could be
traded and such too.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Right, yeah, absolutely so.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Right now, he's been with the Niners his whole career,
this is his he's in his sixth year now, which
is like pretty solid.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
To be with a team six years.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
So we feel really, you know, good, and he's playing
great and he you know, he's the captain of the team,
so we feel pretty solid now.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
But football, it's business. Anything can change at any moment.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
So we're just going to cross our fingers and hope
he does great until next off season and hope that
the Niners want him to stay.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
And if so, that's amazing. But if not. Then it's
part of a life. We got to pick up, we
got to go.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
So yeah, that's got to keep you on edge a
little bit totally, especially.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
With the baby on the way.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, now I need to be honest about this.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Next question as an NFL wife, Well, how do you
feel about this all the Taylor Swift attention with Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
My gosh, So I didn't even think it was legit
in the beginning.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
I was like, oh, like, there's no way, Like that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Da da da da.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
And then like it's totally legit, like they are in love,
like they.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Like yeah, very like this is this is for real,
which is so crazy, But I.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Think it's it's wild. I mean, I don't know. I
think now that I'm like.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
In this, you kind of when you're in it, you're like, yeah,
these guys are athletes, but a lot of them are
also celebrities. Like it's kind of crazy how you get
they're like both and Travis is both. Yes, it's natural
for him to date someone that's, you know, celebrity as
well her being I think a little bit more so
than him on the celebrity.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah, maybe the most famous celebrity in the entire world, right,
So it.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Totally makes sense, honestly, good for him.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
That's incredible that he shot his shot and it is
working out great for him.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
So yeah, it's it's good.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
It's also really good for the Chiefs because their ticket
sales have like.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Skyrocketed even more. But yeah, I mean, I think everyone's winning.
Everyone's winning.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Really.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Okay, if you guys could have a celebrity of like
a tailor status date one of the Niners, who would
you want it to be?
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Like?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Who would you want to hang out in the box with?
Speaker 4 (24:33):
I It's kind of like it's like on my mind
because she just performed with the super Bowl, But like Rihanna,
I know she's yeah, but she's taken, was available? Who's
not taken? I feel like everyone's taken that I would
want to hang out with.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
What about one of the Kardashians would be really Arianna
has got a boyfriend that we all don't friend.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Everyone's taken Kim Kardashian, but like there's rumors that she
dating Obj's.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Right, the OBJ rumors.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
They're out there, but we've never seen them together yet.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
That would be nuts.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
They need to see it. I can totally see it
me too. It kind of brings her back to her
you know, Reggie Bots.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Yeah, you like, but I don't know, I like those
are two really good ones because everyone else has taken.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah, okay, well you and Fred just started a podcast, and.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I guess, like it's kind of almost.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Feels crazy that like the NFL players can have their
own podcast, Like Travis Kelsey has his own podcast. He
puts a lot of things out there. You guys have
a podcast, it's called The Warner House. What are you
talking about on there? And like, is there anything that
he is like off limits of talking about about, like
what happens like at work?
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Right.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
So basically, what we decided to do was take this
opportunity to talk about my perspective as being his wife
and being someone that you know, is in this NFL
life with him, and then obviously his perspective of being
in the NFL, being on in the height of his career,
being the captain of the team, and like, you know,
just kind of getting to know us an aspect of
(26:22):
just like our family life, and then also just like
making it about football too, because that's what people want
to know. For Fred, he definitely doesn't There's certain things
like you can't really talk about, you know, the ins
and outs of injuries, or the ins and outs of
like people, like you know, people's status on the team.
Those are the things that are completely off limits, of course.
But he can definitely talk about.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
His play, what he thinks of his teammates play, and
things like that. Other teams and how they're doing.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
We to talk about that, but yeah, I think off
limits would just be kind of like the obvious stuff,
you know, like the personal things with other players, and like,
you know, especially when playoffs come, things will have to
be dialed down a bit.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
But yeah, m all right, Well this has been so
fun at talking to you. My last question is just like,
how are you staying in touch with The Bachelor? Do
you have any ties to this show anymore? Do you
still watch as Fred get into it?
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Yeah, so we do watch the Golden Bachelor.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
We love that.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
That's amazing. I hope they do a Bachelor at version
of that. I talked to I talked to a lot
of girls in my season. I talked to Natasha Parker.
I just got off the phone with Jasmine yesterday. I
have a few ties. Of course, It's not as close
as it used to be. Because you know, life moves
on and people move out with their lives. But yeah,
I love the girls on my season, like we're all
so close still and it's uh, like I said, I
(27:44):
wouldn't have been in this position and knowing my husband
and all of this if it wasn't for the show.
So I try to, you know, keep a few ties
in there.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
But yeah, all right, well.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Said third trimester. For me, it was actually the most tolerable.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
But for a lot of people, I know, I know,
it's when everything, like I started to be able to
like did you get when.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Did you get birth? What week?
Speaker 5 (28:04):
If I can ask?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Thirty eight, which was honestly ideal and.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
You didn't have to be induced or anything?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Right, No, I don't want to. I don't want I
don't want that.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
That's one of because fears, Like I'm totally okay with
getting a C section if that's well, obviously what you
have to do.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
But my biggest fears is induction because we do.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Yeah, I don't want that.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Most I hear awful things about it, Like so many
people tell me like, oh, yeah, I'm getting induced, No
big deal, I'm getting induced, And I'm like every time
I hear somebody getting induced, like it just seems like
it was the worst, longest experience exactly.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
So I want to avoid that more than anything.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Like if I'm like two weeks past my due date,
I would rather do that than be induced. And that
sounds crazy, but I'm being honest.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
I know I was crazy. I had told my doctor.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I was like, is there any chance that maybe we
could just do an elective C section? Because I, in
my head can fathom surgery way more than a body total.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
When I was in my first time ester, I don't
know what. It came up on my feet or something.
You did a podcast with your dad and your sister
explained epidurals, because I don't know. And I listened to
that podcast probably two times.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Over no way I have. I did, and it.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
Helped me so much.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
I know so much, many things that I had no
idea before. So that incredible.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Oh my god, Sydney, thank you so much for listening
to I'm so glad.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
It's helpful, so good, so so so good.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
I learned so much and I'm like, okay, like low
key like my birth plan, okay, where I'm like what
your dad was saying, Oh my.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Gosh, that's so special. I'm gonna go tell them right
after this podcast. That's awesome. Yeah, all right, well this

This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hey everyone, welcome to the Almost Nice Podcast. Today we
have Sidney Warner on the podcast. You guys may remember
her from Highlot Pede season when she was Sidney high
Tower and now she's married to an NFL star, Fred Warner. Welcome, Sydney. Hello,
sed Dunning creature. I was gonna put makeup on for
(00:29):
you today. I was like, I can't be on Zoom
with Sydney, who's like a girl crash of mine, and
not look decent. And then I just got lazy and
I was like, I'm taking nap time to just sit
on the couch and watch a crime documentary.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
After my ramble about how beautiful and wonderful you are,
You're so nice.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Seriously that means a lot, especially right now, and you
look stunning.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
So I'm ready.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
I had so much stuff to do later, but I
am so good. I feel like I haven't talked to
you or.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Seen you in so long.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
And I remember, like when you were pregnant that I
would like always I wasn't pregnant, but I was just
talking to you about it because I like lived through
your experience.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yes, I remember that. Yeah, but I'm good. I'm doing great.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Everything's really good over here.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah. Okay, So how many months pregnant are you right now?
Speaker 5 (01:20):
So I'm my sixth month. I am twenty four weeks.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
All right, how are you feeling. How's the entire thing been?
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Oh my gosh, So I'm feeling totally good.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I mean everything starting off, pregnancy is like than the
number one scariest thing to me.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
I've never been more scared of anything in my life
than pregnant. That was me.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Okay, I was terrified and then it was as awful
as I thought it was.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
But I was particularly scared about birth, Like that was
my number one fear. And everybody has a different story
and experience, but like, my my encouragement to you is
that it's that's not as scary as you think it's
going to be.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
And that's honestly, I'm more scared. I was more scared
about pregnancy, and then I'm just kind of like the
mindset of like what goes in must come out, So
I was like, what it is, Yeah, the birth part,
So just pregnancy is what I was most scared of.
So finally me and my husband like talked about it.
He wanted to get pregnant way before I did, but
I finally was like, Okay, I feel.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Like it's time.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
So we decided to do it, and ever since then,
I've had the best experience. I mean, I was scared
about my skin because we had talked before, like our
lackdown from before, and I was like so scared because
I had to get off of it before we even
started trying and all of that. But fingers crossed, knock
on wood, everything has been so good and I feel
(02:41):
like I'm just like this weird chameleon like everything. I
work out five times a week, Like, I've had a
little bit of this thing called round ligament pain, but
kind of normal with everyone, so I haven't. My skin's
been primarily totally fine. So I've really just been extremely blessed.
And I'm not take this for granted because this is
(03:01):
probably I don't know if this is normal.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
So I don't know. I'm just hoping.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I'm not in my third trimester yet, so you know,
things to get crazy, but right now, everything's okay.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, USh, I'm really happy for you that it, like
specifically because you weren't scared. I mean, because because you
were so scared and it just turned out to be
not that scary.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
I'm scared.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
What were you for?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
What specifically were you scared of, like if it was
not just your skin, but beyond that, So beyond that.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I think i'm really uh internally, like I work out
a lot, and I'm really I'm really like health focused
and I work a lot about just being like not.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Being able to move and being a Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Also, I don't think people some everyone's different, but the
weight in is very gradual, and for some reason, I
just thought that I was immediately going to gain all
of this weight and not recognize myself and feel crazy
and not be able to like be as mobile as
I wanted. But I think just everyone's different, but me
being able to still work out and feel like myself
has been helped me a ton. So I was just
(04:04):
kind of scared of just everything changing at once and
me not feeling like myself and being in pain and
throwing up and my skin going crazy and just feeling
like nuts for nine months.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
But I think that.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Now I'm going through it, it's so gradual change, it's
not all at once, just for me specific, Yeah, I
was just just terrified.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
I'm not a good person with change.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
So I was extremely terrified of just the change of
pregnancy and all of the body craziness that comes with.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
It, but also just I don't know.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
I was also really.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Scared of just like my baby being like healthy and safe,
because that's something I don't really talk about much, is
like every milestone, you get all these updates, and it's
scary because you're not in control, so you never know.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
But it's just a lot. I'll think all of it
was just scary, all of it.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, as somebody who did have an awful pregnancy, but
I have I have encouraging words for anybody out there
in the midst of a pregnancy or thinking about going
through it. Even if you're like me, where it's nine
months of misery and you do lose yourself for nine months,
you will come back.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I was so scared that I'd be like, am I
ever like feel pretty again?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
And you feel pretty before you know it.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
That's so good. That's so I mean, everyone's not. It's
just so wild how you can have completely different experience.
Everyone is so different, every presence, everybody, everyone, It's just
it could be you know, you're you're miserable for nine months,
you know, like you're throwing up all the time.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
I feel like, so that just sucks.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
On a personal note, lots of people ask me about
Sporona lactone right now or like all the time actually
in my DMS, because iways talking about my acting and
how that I think is like the number one band
aid for it I have. I've been off of it
for four months now, and I've been very pleasantly surprised
that I also haven't broken out from the withdrawal. Yeah,
(06:01):
so just like you and not celebrating some clear skin.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I think it's something.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
It's something to give herselfs some classic and the Lord's drug.
It really is. It's incredible, like changed the game for me.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
So when I and I experienced it, I was like,
this is this is incredible And then it was so scary.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
I was so scared.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I know, like, everything's good so far. I can't wait
to get back on it after the feeding. But yeah,
so far it's been fine.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
But that's good.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
I'm so happy that you've been cool too.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
That's yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I don't know who knows what it is, but I'm
happy that it's clear right now. Okay, So fred Is
seems on Instagram to be like such a supportive, wonderful,
sweet soul husband. Is he as wonderful as he seems
on Instagram with your pregnancy and taking care of you
and all that.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Yeah, No, he actually is.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
He's like he's this He's an incredible human being. And
even more so I get to say that because he's
my husband and he's never wanted anything more than to
be a dad and I did not experience that until I.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Never wanted to be a mom until like literally this year.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So he is like, help, yeah, we got to dive
into this.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Yeah, so he is like helps me be like happy
and excited and not scared. But he is so excited.
This is like he's never wanted anything more in his
life than to be a dad. So he is like
counting down the days. I could not have like lucked
out with the most supportive partner through this, especially being
someone that's scared of pregnancy. So I'm so lucky and
(07:35):
he's so excited.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
So that is so so sweet.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
So I always knew I wanted to be a mom,
but I never had what I would call baby fever,
Like what even when I was like thirty three and
I was like Okay, that's probably about the time that
we like because I got prignant when I was thirty three. Yeah,
it's like, yeah, okay, we're trying, but it's not like
like I could still deal without it for right now,
Like I love my life, Like I'm so sick scared
(08:00):
of this change and responsibility. So I guess I know
what you feel when you say that, like you didn't
want to be mommy.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I wanted to be a mom but like but it
was just so intimidating. So is that how you felt?
Is that what you mean?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
And like I always knew I wanted a family. I
like grew up in Alabama, so like it's very like
just like get pregnant, have babies, get pregnant, have babies,
get married.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
And I just kind of broke out of that cycle
a bit.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
And when I put out of it, it was almost like
a rebel of like no, like I'm not going to
settle down, I'm not going to have kids. But then
I meet my husband, and of course you when you
fall in love with someone, all you want to do is,
you know, make something beautiful together. So thinking of that
in that aspect of something that's going to add to
my life and not take away and like bog me down.
You know, it's just a complete shift of mindset when
(08:52):
I did it the way that I think I was
supposed to do it, because before then I was just like,
oh my gosh, like I just don't want to have kids,
to have kids and to settle down just because it's
what you're supposed to do. But when I finally found
that that's what I that's the trajectory by how my
life was going, and it this is what was making
me happy and just the.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Thought of making something with him, and it's just now
it like.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Brings tears in my eyes, Like I I am so
excited to be a mom and like have a baby
and a best friend and like someone just like it's
just like incredible. But what you know, also what my
body's doing right now is just incredible. So it's just
funny how you go from one mindset and then as
soon as you soon as I decided like okay, no,
like I'm ready, like I want to do this complete
(09:35):
complete shift of your mindset, so you know, yeah, and
also just not like change like I'm so used to
just like getting up and doing what I want and
being so bigy. Yeah, the complete life change. You have
to be ready for that, and I take it very seriously.
I think that's why I waited.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Until I was fully ready, so that I could not
have fear and be excited and not worried.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
You know, yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
What is one thing that people say to you, whether
it's a comment or a question about pregnancy or motherhood,
that just like gets under your skin.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
That happened to me often for some reason.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I think whenever I talk about, like, you know, the
newborn minds, and they're just like, oh, man, get Freddie,
You're gonna oh, just like kind of like I'm just like, okay,
Like I know it's gonna be hard, but let's you know,
instead of going that route like tell me the positives
about how it's only eight weeks and like you need
to cherish these eight weeks of this your baby being
that tiny, and not so much about like you're never
(10:42):
gonna sleep, you're never gonna see your partner, you're never
gonna get like all these negatives. That's truly scary. And
I know I'm gonna go through those things, which is fine.
I'm I'm a realist, but also like, maybe let's not
make it as negative, and I don't know.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Just when they say that.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
I'm like, I know totally, I'm totally ready for all
those hardships, but also I'm also going to be able
to be with my you know, eight week old baby,
and then after that, they're not like newborns anymore. So
I try to think of it like that, but that's
always like kind of scary when people really talking about
that born stage and how you're going to like be
a zombie.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
I don't know, but let me just tell you something.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I love the newborn phase to me, And yes, I
think I was different. Like you're saying that you're pregnancy
eas easy, well I thought I think perhaps my postpartum
was easy because I realized that like, yeah, I was
sore as hell, like I couldn't like first, like are
you kidding me? For like a couple of weeks I could,
like I could not walk around the house. But I
(11:40):
don't remember that. I just remember how honestly, yeah, he
would wake up every couple hours, but like then you
have an easy fix. You feed them and it's like
all right now, like in the toddler years, they're freaking
out and you don't know why because they're trying to
communicate and they can't do it effectively. So I just
that the new and days were amazing because all you
(12:01):
got to do is like lie around and snuggle. Like,
does lying around and snugglings sound bad?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
No, Like I'm excited for that.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Of course, I'm nervous because there's a whole these challenges
of breastfeeding, and that's another scarity. Yeah, will come to
me about and they're like, oh, breastfeeding and you need
to and I'm like, I know, I've heard it's really scary,
like just yeah, so I just but I know I've
totally cherished as moments of just like being alone with
your baby and just not having to really like do anything,
(12:30):
of being kind of just in your house with your
husband and they're not you know, so.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
It's the best.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
See I didn't breastfeed, which is probably why that part
was a little bit easier for me. Well yeah, so
that's that should be said. Okay, fred is going to
be in a great position of the year right when
you give birth, because the season will just be about over.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Yeah, so we will be just about over, depending on
how long we go in playoffs.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
If we make it to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
If we do make it to the Super Bowl, I'll
be around thirty six thirty seven weeks. Yeah, I know,
we'll see. I can't worry about things that aren't here yet.
But you know, of course that's the objective of the year,
so we'll see. I mean, I it's in Vegas, so
we live in NorCal So if we you know, I
(13:23):
would just drive today. Yeah, if that was happening. But
also it's just those are our challenges. We'll deal with
when we get there. But I'll definitely go into all
of the I'll try to go to all of the
playoff games if we make it there. But once the
baby is actually here, yes, it will be off season
and we'll be able to have those, like you no
fun newborn months together, which was amazing.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Yeah, that could not have been That could not have
been more prevarently planned.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Yeah, and we've planned it out because we did, Okay,
we had.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
We knew if we didn't get pregnant within two more
months of trying, then we would just have to stop
and just try next off season.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
So do you mind me asking how long it took?
How many months were trying?
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Yeah, So we started trying and we got pregnant with
them three.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Months, okay, yeah, so I just I only ask to
ask because I get DMS about from people asking me
like how long it took us, which was seven months,
and they're starting to feel discouraged around.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
The three month point, and it's just like, you know, just.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
It's funny because every you know, it's not it's of
course you get discouraged always like, but we started trying
and I had no I didn't expect us to get
pregnant that bath, but I did have that little ounce
of discouragement that third month, and I'm like, you're being easy, Sidney,
like it's only three months, but then that was the
month that we did get our positive.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
But yeah, I can't seven.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
That's it's ever.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
It's so tough, and I didn't realize that until I'm
like in this new world of mothers and fertility and pregnancy,
and it's like it's it can be intense.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
But I also, I'm.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Sure it has nothing to do with it. But I've
never been on birth control, so yeah, body.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Yeah, I don't have anything to do with it. But
I was in my mind, I was telling myself that
it was a positive.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
No, yeah, definitely some positive thinking I feel like always
kind of sort of helps. Soh man, I just I
follow your Instagram quite closely.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I really just enjoy everything you post. I just like
love your Like, is it weird for me to say
that I really enjoy following your wag life? No, No,
I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Okay, everything you do is like so it's like so
pretty and so like just like just seems quite blissful.
And can you let us in on just what the
social life is with the team and all the wives
and girlfriends.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
What's the wag life like at the forty nine ers.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
So there's a lot of wives and girlfriends on the tea.
There's so many guys on the teams. You don't really
realize that until you're in it.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
So many guys.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Olivia girlfriend, Olivia Colpo, is also a fellow she is.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Oh yeah, she's a fiance.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Wife.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
And you know, it's different because there's some there's a
lot of women somewhere in the depths of their you know,
having babies and being pregnants where I'm at right now.
But before that, I was just like, you know, you know,
young and going out with that group. It's kind of
like grouped off a little bit to where a little
bit like that, who like with ever season of life
you're in, But there's so many of us. We all
(16:29):
have crazy schedules we do. There's so many things that
the team actually plans for us to get together and do.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Which is nice.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
It's the Niners is a really like tight knit community.
There's so many teams and I talk to some girls
that are like come here from other teams and they're like,
the Niners are just so close knit. It's really big
on community and getting us all together. So it's it's
a lot of us, but it's good. Like everybody has
their own lives and everything's going on, but whenever we
do have like social things, we have parties at coach
(16:58):
Shanahan's house and so we all get together. So yeah,
it's yeah, we're all pretty close.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
That's really nice. You have a nice building community and
supports system there. Yeah. So how did you guys meet Fred?
Speaker 5 (17:10):
And I?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Yeah, so we met.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Because his family watched my season of The Bachelor.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
No, because I remember, didn't you did you have a
football boyfriend before the show?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
No? I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Okay, I thought that you had an athlete boyfriend for
some reason or maybe it was just because like I
was thinking that when you got with Fred that maybe
you guys had been in touch with before the show.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
But anyway, can continue.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
No, Yeah, so we met because his family watched the
show and they were just watching and then he was
single and his brother like or something reached out to
him and was like, hey, there's this girl on the
show that she seems like your type.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
D da da da dah. I guess physically, but you're
everyone's type physically.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
He like watched a little bit of the show and
all that just that he ended up like dming me
and I was like the week where was the woman tall?
Speaker 5 (17:59):
And we ended up meeting.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
In Orange County because that's where the Wintell was and
then that's where he was training for his off season
football training. So we met there, had dinner, and then
that was kind of it. We just knew we wanted
to like date and get to know each other and talk,
and then it just like progressed, progress progressed, and now
we were expecting our first child.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Together, so my gosh, So it was quick like it
was right after the show when the show.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Yeah, and I had like already like signed my contract
to go to Paradise.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
And I was like, you know, like of course I'm going, like.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
I'm so excited, and then like COVID hit and that
he keeps the date kept getting pushed back, and then
I'm only like talking to Fred and dating him more
because I don't know if I'm going, like I don't know.
So all that to say, COVID got canceled everything. It
was all everything happened exactly the way it was supposed
to because I'm not going to go to guys when
I'm dating this guy, and it was actually serious at
(18:51):
that point, so that wasn't on the table. And then
after that we just like dated. I always say we
kind of dated with a purpose. We knew that we
wanted it to be serious.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
We just didn't know.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
How long or like how to navigate it. But we
did long distance for a while, and then we decided
to just like go full in, so we did.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Were you a football fan before, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Because I'm from Alabama and I went to yeah, Blabama,
so like it's always been a huge.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Part of my life. So it's just funny I ended
up marrying when that played football.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
It's amazing because if you weren't on the show, like
The Bachelor. You got married from the Bachelor too, because
if you weren't on, you wouldn't have connected never.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Ever ever crossed paths with him. We would have never
known each other. So I am so thankful for that
show and like doing it and meeting all the people
that I did. It was so fun and I'm just
like so thankful because I would have never met my
husband if it wasn't for The Bachelor.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
So yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
So on your TikTok, you're sharing some NFL secrets, anything
you can tell us, Oh my gosh, anything that you
haven't put up there yet.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
I feel like I've said a lot, almost too much.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Do you want to know anything?
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Going over and check it out because it's all there.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Okay, Now I feel like I have a question. I
just really I need to come up with a question.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
I have a question for you.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I know yours is a huge Tom Brady fan and
now retired, Like for sure, who's your husband's team.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
And you're not, like it's just so sad, like it's
just not the football season is not the same whatsoever,
especially because his team, which will still you know, is
the Patriots.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
They're so shy that it's like really hot.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
It's been a really depressing season, letting go of calm
because there's just not much root for because I'm a
Giants fan and they're just as crappy. So it's just
like a really sad football season in our house.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
He did you watch the Bucks at all because of Tom?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
You know?
Speaker 3 (20:56):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
No, the Bucks was solely just because of Tom being there.
But we have like we have Bucks merch around the
house too, just like and can remember to.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Switch over from the Patriots to the Bus. He's a
true Patriots fan.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah, he's a true page. Oh no, no, no, we we did.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
We declare her Yeah yeah, we declared herself Tom over team,
and we were we were more Bucks fans for those
three years than we were Patriots fans. Like when they
did go ahead to head, we rooted for Tom. Okay,
but he really got me, like he got me into
the Tom spell.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
The Patriots was Mac Jones, who was football for Obama.
He was a product for Alabama for a while. Okay,
I wanted him so bad selfishly to come to be
to be with the Niners, and then we passed on
him and we al was like my gosh, like we
passed on him. We got brought party and it's working out.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
So yeah, yeah, it's working out quite well for you guys.
I think it worked out for the best. I know,
how many more years does he have on his contract?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Fred?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
So right now he's in like his second contract and
so not this offen, but next offseason they'll kind of
reevaluate and we could get like five more.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Years here or if we get zero years here, who knows.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Does that stress you out that like you you for
the foresee, the future won't have like your your home
place could just change basically anytime because he could be
traded and such too.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Right, yeah, absolutely so.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Right now, he's been with the Niners his whole career,
this is his he's in his sixth year now, which
is like pretty solid.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
To be with a team six years.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
So we feel really, you know, good, and he's playing
great and he you know, he's the captain of the team,
so we feel pretty solid now.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
But football, it's business. Anything can change at any moment.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
So we're just going to cross our fingers and hope
he does great until next off season and hope that
the Niners want him to stay.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
And if so, that's amazing. But if not. Then it's
part of a life. We got to pick up, we
got to go.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
So yeah, that's got to keep you on edge a
little bit totally, especially.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
With the baby on the way.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, now I need to be honest about this.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Next question as an NFL wife, Well, how do you
feel about this all the Taylor Swift attention with Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
My gosh, So I didn't even think it was legit
in the beginning.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
I was like, oh, like, there's no way, Like that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Da da da da.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
And then like it's totally legit, like they are in love,
like they.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Like yeah, very like this is this is for real,
which is so crazy, But I.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Think it's it's wild. I mean, I don't know. I
think now that I'm like.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
In this, you kind of when you're in it, you're like, yeah,
these guys are athletes, but a lot of them are
also celebrities. Like it's kind of crazy how you get
they're like both and Travis is both. Yes, it's natural
for him to date someone that's, you know, celebrity as
well her being I think a little bit more so
than him on the celebrity.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah, maybe the most famous celebrity in the entire world, right,
So it.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Totally makes sense, honestly, good for him.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
That's incredible that he shot his shot and it is
working out great for him.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
So yeah, it's it's good.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
It's also really good for the Chiefs because their ticket
sales have like.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Skyrocketed even more. But yeah, I mean, I think everyone's winning.
Everyone's winning.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Really.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Okay, if you guys could have a celebrity of like
a tailor status date one of the Niners, who would
you want it to be?
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Like?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Who would you want to hang out in the box with?
Speaker 4 (24:33):
I It's kind of like it's like on my mind
because she just performed with the super Bowl, But like Rihanna,
I know she's yeah, but she's taken, was available? Who's
not taken? I feel like everyone's taken that I would
want to hang out with.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
What about one of the Kardashians would be really Arianna
has got a boyfriend that we all don't friend.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Everyone's taken Kim Kardashian, but like there's rumors that she
dating Obj's.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Right, the OBJ rumors.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
They're out there, but we've never seen them together yet.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
That would be nuts.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
They need to see it. I can totally see it
me too. It kind of brings her back to her
you know, Reggie Bots.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Yeah, you like, but I don't know, I like those
are two really good ones because everyone else has taken.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah, okay, well you and Fred just started a podcast, and.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I guess, like it's kind of almost.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Feels crazy that like the NFL players can have their
own podcast, Like Travis Kelsey has his own podcast. He
puts a lot of things out there. You guys have
a podcast, it's called The Warner House. What are you
talking about on there? And like, is there anything that
he is like off limits of talking about about, like
what happens like at work?
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Right.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
So basically, what we decided to do was take this
opportunity to talk about my perspective as being his wife
and being someone that you know, is in this NFL
life with him, and then obviously his perspective of being
in the NFL, being on in the height of his career,
being the captain of the team, and like, you know,
just kind of getting to know us an aspect of
(26:22):
just like our family life, and then also just like
making it about football too, because that's what people want
to know. For Fred, he definitely doesn't There's certain things
like you can't really talk about, you know, the ins
and outs of injuries, or the ins and outs of
like people, like you know, people's status on the team.
Those are the things that are completely off limits, of course.
But he can definitely talk about.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
His play, what he thinks of his teammates play, and
things like that. Other teams and how they're doing.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
We to talk about that, but yeah, I think off
limits would just be kind of like the obvious stuff,
you know, like the personal things with other players, and like,
you know, especially when playoffs come, things will have to
be dialed down a bit.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
But yeah, m all right, Well this has been so
fun at talking to you. My last question is just like,
how are you staying in touch with The Bachelor? Do
you have any ties to this show anymore? Do you
still watch as Fred get into it?
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Yeah, so we do watch the Golden Bachelor.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
We love that.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
That's amazing. I hope they do a Bachelor at version
of that. I talked to I talked to a lot
of girls in my season. I talked to Natasha Parker.
I just got off the phone with Jasmine yesterday. I
have a few ties. Of course, It's not as close
as it used to be. Because you know, life moves
on and people move out with their lives. But yeah,
I love the girls on my season, like we're all
so close still and it's uh, like I said, I
(27:44):
wouldn't have been in this position and knowing my husband
and all of this if it wasn't for the show.
So I try to, you know, keep a few ties
in there.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
But yeah, all right, well.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Said third trimester. For me, it was actually the most tolerable.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
But for a lot of people, I know, I know,
it's when everything, like I started to be able to
like did you get when.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Did you get birth? What week?
Speaker 5 (28:04):
If I can ask?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Thirty eight, which was honestly ideal and.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
You didn't have to be induced or anything?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Right, No, I don't want to. I don't want I
don't want that.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
That's one of because fears, Like I'm totally okay with
getting a C section if that's well, obviously what you
have to do.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
But my biggest fears is induction because we do.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Yeah, I don't want that.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Most I hear awful things about it, Like so many
people tell me like, oh, yeah, I'm getting induced, No
big deal, I'm getting induced, And I'm like every time
I hear somebody getting induced, like it just seems like
it was the worst, longest experience exactly.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
So I want to avoid that more than anything.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Like if I'm like two weeks past my due date,
I would rather do that than be induced. And that
sounds crazy, but I'm being honest.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
I know I was crazy. I had told my doctor.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I was like, is there any chance that maybe we
could just do an elective C section? Because I, in
my head can fathom surgery way more than a body total.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
When I was in my first time ester, I don't
know what. It came up on my feet or something.
You did a podcast with your dad and your sister
explained epidurals, because I don't know. And I listened to
that podcast probably two times.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Over no way I have. I did, and it.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
Helped me so much.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
I know so much, many things that I had no
idea before. So that incredible.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Oh my god, Sydney, thank you so much for listening
to I'm so glad.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
It's helpful, so good, so so so good.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
I learned so much and I'm like, okay, like low
key like my birth plan, okay, where I'm like what
your dad was saying, Oh my.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Gosh, that's so special. I'm gonna go tell them right
after this podcast. That's awesome. Yeah, all right, well this
is such an honor.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
And reach out to me anytime about anything skin, pregnancy
all the time.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Things to your skin for the you know, off.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Of this prolactile.
