She wrote: 'You gotta have sex – men need it, and it’s important for the relationship. 

'It doesn’t have to be all the time, but you have to get it in there sometimes!'

Kristin also said that intimacy other than in the bedroom was of importance.

She continued: 'It’s so important to make time for each other, even if it’s just waiting to eat dinner after the kids go to bed. And even if it’s takeout, light candles and make an effort to connect.'

It seems as if Kristin has a bit more time to spend with her 32-year-old Bears player husband as he injured his hamstring during Sunday's gave versus the Arizona Cardinals and will not be starting this week's game.

As she is pregnant for the third time she also gave a few tips on how to bounce back into shape after giving birth.

She said: 'What you eat goes to your baby, and it plays a role in how you feel, so I try to maintain the 80-20 balance (eating healthy 80percent of the time) while pregnant. 

'You have to enjoy it and give into cravings, but I continue to workout through pregnancy (at a much lower impact). I give myself a free pass the 2 weeks after having the baby, then get back on the 80-20 plan.'

Kristin hasn't let her burgeoning baby belly get in the way of making appearances as she hit up The Blonds show during New York Fashion Week last Wednesday,

She looked amazing while clad in a figure-hugging, sparkly brown top with long trailing sleeves and crew neckline and a matching maxi-length skirt.

It was the perfect colour to highlight Kristin's shining blonde locks, which she tied in a ponytail at the nape of her neck.

Her big brown eyes were made up in complimentary hues of beige and brown, while a light layer of rouge touched her cheeks.
