In this episode ofUp Past Bedtime, Bella dives into the wild world of dating after a decade-long relationship. She shares the highs, the lows, and the downright bizarre moments of re-entering the dating scene as a single mom—covering everything from navigating co-parenting while dating to the strange (and sometimes cringeworthy) realities of men’s dating profiles. Bella gets candid about her dating preferences, the agony of small talk, and one particularly awkward first date that was riddled with red flags.

Beyond the dating disasters, Bella opens up about self-love, learning to enjoy her own company, and embracing the journey rather than rushing to find "the one." With her signature humour and honesty, she reminds us that patience, confidence, and a little bit of chaos are all part of the dating game.
