When quizzed on the topic by PEOPLE, the mum-of-four quipped that playdates are out of the question because she doesn’t “leave the house”.
“I’m not joking,” she said, “I don’t go anywhere. I try to do every photo shoot, every everything at our house. So no. But if the time came up, absolutely.”
However, it seems there’s no bad blood as she continued to sing the duchess’ praises.
“I really adore her. I think she is so incredibly strong,” Chrissy told the outlet. “It is insane to me how polarizing she is for so many different people, when she really is just such a kind, good person that wants the best for all her friends and the best for people around her, and the best for her own relationship and for her children.”
Chrissy continued defend Meghan, adding: “People come up with all these different things that she could be about or what she wants, it’s not that complicated. I think it’s cool that [Meghan] is just like, ‘Listen, say whatever you want. I’m happy and I’m healthy and I feel good.'”
