Reagan sees her new life as a 'second chance at love.'
'I immediately realized what I had in front of me — a second chance at love, at being happy, at a stable marriage, at having a family. I did not miss my chance to get on that boat.'
She notes that her move from one relationship to the next wasn't 'conventional,' but says that 'when you know, you know.'
'Yes, it wasn't convention that I immediately was in another relationship after my divorce was finalized, I understand that. But when you know, you know. To stifle that or slow it down, it would have just felt like enormous regret.
I can't see my life any other way right now. It feels like everything is perfect.'
