Little Big Town’s Kimberly Schlapman is the latest star to cohost Today with Jenna & Friends.
During the Tuesdsay, January 28, show, Schlapman revealed a secret she’s been keeping for almost 20 years.
When asked if she’s “ever had a wild night on vacation,” Schlapman said one story came to mind, but it was a secret only four people in her life knew about, not even her “mama and daddy” were aware.
In preparation for reveling the truth, Schlapman quickly gave her parents a call, so that they could hear it from her first before she shared the truth with the world.
“I was like, ‘Mama, is Daddy there, can he hear me? I have to tell you something,’ ” she recalled of the frantic phone call. “And I told her and she was like, ‘What?!’ And then finally I got more nervous and nervous and then she started giggling. And I was like, ‘Okay.’
