Andie MacDowell is not so lucky in love. having been through two husband and one fiance in the past ten years.
When it comes to romance, Andie MacDowell tells OK! she’s hoping that her three children — Justin, 23, Rainey, 20 and Sarah Margaret, 14– will someday blaze a different trail than their mom. ”My biggest love advice to them is to do as I say and not as I’ve done,” she admits. “And really take their time getting to know someone.” It seems as though the kids are often more in tune with what Andie needs than Andie, herself!
As her kids have gotten older, her relationship with them has changed.
“Having a 20-year-old that lives in New York, I have to have a lot of trust and faith and acknowledge her independence,” Andie says. “It’s sort of like that balancing of giving someone structure and knowing when to give them freedom.”
Dating isn’t something she does a lot of these days, but her kids play a big part in the men she chooses.
“I usually ask them what they think, and they’re usually right. I think if I were to ask my kids every time what their opinion was, I would be better off.”
What qualities is she looking for these days?
“Someone who owns an apple orchard. That would be really nice.”
I love Andie’s tips of love for her children…
