Speaking on the Tell Me I'm a Good Mom podcast, Mustafa discussed the lessons she has learned about relationships while balancing life as a single mother. According to the reality television personality, years of dating experiences have led her to adopt a straightforward approach when meeting potential partners.

According to TMZ, Mustafa's comments mark one of her most detailed discussions yet about her personal life following the highly publicised breakup and surrounding controversy.
