Show Notes
Jen Herrera doesn't wait around for life to happen. She started a business, travelled the world, chose to become a single mom and when she was matched with Andy Richter on a dating site, she took a swipe at romance.
On this week's episode of Plus One with Lisa and Morgan, Jen details her life as a plus one to Conan O'Brien's hysterical sidekick, how she navigated a worldwide journey to become a mom and despite her successful career in music management and production, she knows when to stay in her lane.
Andy joins the conversation to tell his side of their love story — from the moment he realized he could be completely himself to becoming dad to her daughter, Cornelia. He also opens up about Dancing with the Stars, what his own career has taught him about being a “plus one,” and why finding love with someone who didn’t need him, made their relationship all the more meaningful.
