'I feel lucky to have such positive people around him, who really embrace him – because it didn’t have to be so easy.'

Dara added: 'It's all about your point of view. I don't understand people who are divorced and then hold their children as collateral; that doesn’t make any sense. 

'It's about creating a happy home and lifestyle.'

Her conversation with the magazine comes after she revealed 2023 was a 'really challenging year' for her in a cryptic Instagram post in January.

Dara shared a candid post to her 62,000 Instagram followers revealing it was the year with the 'most changes'.

'2023 was actually a really challenging year for me,' she said. 'Won't go into the details but definitely the year with the most changes.
