Bruce gave a soulful performance with a smile on his face as he synchronized with The Temptations. Although the clip was from years back, it particularly touched Emma and taught her an invaluable lesson.

"My motto is don’t let the fear stop you. Why? Because fear constantly stops me ?? Which is another reason I fell for my husband, fear has never stopped him," the doting wife began.

The British-American model continued, "I mean what kind of next level confidence does it take to sing lead with The Temptations? You can say what you want (and boy have they), but this guy has always been led by his passion and has never let naysayers stop him from, well, anything."

The 'Perfect Stranger' Champions Self-Care For Mothers

Last month, Emma got candid about the struggles of being a mother and wife and how it can be sometimes overbearing. The CocoBaba founder revealed that she struggles with making time for herself amid being there for her family.

"I put my family’s needs above my own, which I found does not make me any kind of hero. That amount of care for everyone else within my household had taken a toll on my mental health and overall health, and it served no one in my family," she confessed.

Emma shared a life-changing message she heard about how over-caring for someone leads to under-caring for yourself. "That stopped me in my tracks and really resonated with me," she admitted.

Emma revealed that ever since she made sure that some basic baseline needs, such as exercise, are met before she caters to her family.

She further explained, "It’s a time I can disconnect and can do something that I know makes me feel good overall. I think it’s important to find that one thing that makes you feel good and build from there."
