I've done that. I've had the big wedding, I've had the babies and the kids -- six of them, by the way. It's not like we need to do that again; my body wouldn't cooperate if I wanted it to. I think that I just feel really grateful and blessed for my past experiences and I'm looking forward to my future and I just don't think that I want to go there," Kris said on the "Divorce Sucks!" podcast.
