“Like everyone else, I learned of the horrific event through a news alert on my phone while sitting next to Daniel. I still know only what is publicly available,” she wrote.
“At the end of the day, I’m simply a mama to a very sweet young boy doing my best to protect his peace.”

The couple first met in 2017 while she was in Chicago filming “Shameless” and he was playing for the Bears, and were introduced by Sanchez’s teammate Scotty McKnight, but the pair also had a lot more in common.
“We both went to USC, both actually born at the same hospital, both Hispanic, a lot of weird things,” Mattfield told Glamour in an interview last month.
The model issued a statement regarding Sanchez’ stabbing and arrest, claiming “none of this is surprising.” Instagram/Bobby T“He fell in love with me immediately. I’m just kidding,” the former cheerleader said.
“He didn’t, but we dated for a while even though we were always kind of apart because I was filming ‘In the Dark’ in Toronto for four years, and he was still playing. It only took six years to get engaged. And then we’ve been married for about two years and had twins in March,” she said.
“Now that everything is out in the open, my focus hasn’t changed.
