Reflecting on her marriage and subsequent divorce, Teri once shared, "It wasn't so much that my marriage changed: I was aware of things I was settling for and thought what was there was enough. Ten years later, it just wasn't."
The actress added, "I never wanted Emerson to have parents in different households, and I'll always feel guilty forever that she has to go back and forth. But her dad and I work really hard to make it as easy as possible for her, and I genuinely think she's OK."

One memorable post featured the two enjoying a night on the town, with Emerson captioning the series of photos, "You know what they say, any night that starts in red ends in a burger delivery…" The carousel of images included a playful selfie of the mother-daughter duo and a candid shot of Teri delighting in a late-night burger, proving that even their most glamorous outings end in relatable, down-to-earth moments.

In a candid revelation, Teri shared her foray into the world of dating apps—an experience that was, unfortunately, more amusing than fruitful. "There were enough people that I did not respond to because they would text me things like, ‘Are you still ‘real and spectacular’?’ – and I’m like, OK, that’s not who I want to date," she explained, referencing her famous line from Seinfeld.
She humorously added, "So I never answered those people, and I think they got mad and went and complained and said, ‘There’s somebody on here pretending to be Teri Hatcher,’ and so they just kicked me off. It was probably silly to even try it, but I was kind of trying to say to the universe, ‘I’m open. I’m not afraid.’ I was trying to do that, but I think it’s the wrong place for me."
Despite the hiccup, Teri's outlook remains upbeat. Rather than dwelling on the challenges of dating, she has channeled her energy into creating a life filled with joy, contentment, and meaningful experiences. "Rather than pining away, I’ve chosen to just put a lot of effort into the life I want to live," she said.
