Some say mothers know best — but in Karen Parker’s case, it’s true.
“So they’re both Googling each other and they decide to meet in Nashville. What’s really funny [is], on that particular weekend I was leaving when Eric was coming in. So we cross each other in the airport and I met him, he was very sweet.”
Smith adds, “I know what was in his head — ‘If this girl is anything like the mom I just met this is going to go well.’ "

Parker adds, “That’s what he said. So he was excited, like, ‘I know what she’s gonna look like one day.”
She then revealed what she texted Jessie, 34, after her interaction.
“I said Jessica, I know you’re gonna want to sleep with this guy. I go, ‘But don’t do it!” she says with a laugh. “He is so beautiful but you just met.”
She then said her text to her daughter wasn’t abnormal because they “speak that way.”
“They had a great weekend together and she cooked for him, that’s another piece of advice that I always say. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,” Parker says.
