From Universal Studios hollywood, access hollywood starts right now. [instrumental music playing] kerrys family shocker. Welcome to the Weekend Edition of access hollywood. Im scott evans. And im zuri hall. Kerry washingtons new memoir, thicker than water, is out now, and carrie told our producer and guest correspondent emily orozco about the bombshell revelation she makes in the book about her dad. Kit hoover has the story. You share a revelation about your dad that starts with a text message. It was about five years ago, and my parents sat me down and shared this really revelatory news with me. They told me that my dad is not my biological father, that i was born from a sperm donor. And i think it was hard for my parents, in a way, because they had kept this secret for 40 years. But it was hard for me, because it really redefined my idea of who i was and who my family is. Kit kerry, of course, was completely shocked by the news, but at the same time, she admits it provided a sort of confirmation for her. It was like they took glasses off of me, and cleaned them, and handed them back to me. Things just started to make sense. I was weirdly excited. Like, i wasnt mad, at first, at first. I wasnt mad. I didnt feel betrayed. I wasnt sad. I just was like, im so curious. See you soon kit kerry, who returned to her roots for a special book signing at the Kips Bay Boys Girls Club in the bronx says shes in the process of finding her donor. The revelation, with the help of some family therapy, adding a new layer to the loving bond she shares with her parents. We dont have secrets from each other anymore. And theres this great saying that i love that youre as sick as your secrets, and we get to let go and start healing together as a family. Look at you guys youre matching kit in the Kerry Washington thicker than water 2020 special, we get to meet kerrys mother, valerie, and her father, earl. I carried her picture of the sonogram in my wallet. So, from beginning to end, i was there. You chose for me to be yours, and that was fact, and youre here, and youve always been here. Like, the beauty and strength of that, especially in our community, is so profound. Well, who else would have taught you to dance latin . To dance latin, its true. [instrumental music playing] how do you think your relationship with your dad and your mom has changed after that day, if it has . Its so interesting, because, i think, a lot of times, we dont tell the hard truths, because we think that, if we honesty, then well lose the people that we care about. And, you know, that might be true in some situations, but in my experience, the experience that i share in the book, the more truth and transparency that i had with my parents, the more, like, intimacy and love we were able to share. And, later, well have so much more from kerry. She opens up to us about life at home with her husband and children. But right now, scott, i am still reeling from this big usher news. Uh, id say we both are. The nfl announced that usher will be the performer at the apple music super bowl lviii halftime show, and we manifested this together back in april. Check it out. singing yeah yeah you and the super bowl. What do we have to do to see you grace that mega stage, that mega platform . Is it something youd be interested in . Id be a fool to say no. If things line up the way that we would all hope, you know, one day, that moment will happen. It has always been kind of a bucket list, right . Really . So, yeah, you know, how do i make it happen . Im not certain about that. We put it out there right now. We say right now, we are doing the super bowl, baby. Lets go, usher were doing the super bowl . Yeah this is manifestation power, baby youre doing the super bowl. Quit playing with me, man scott although it looked like the call came from Kim Kardashian in this confessions throwbackinspired promo, it really came from ushers good friend jayz, and he told apple musics zane lowe about the moment. Whats it like getting that call from jayz . Well, i mean, you know, me and the big homie, we talk often. But when i got this call, and he said, its time, its magic time, you know, its time for you to have that moment, it was like this was destined to happen. Scott but this wont be ushers first time gracing the super bowl stage. Back in 2011, he joined the black eyed peas to sing omg. Come on singing oh, my god come on that is one moment. I think i have a catalog that obviously speaks for itself. Bruh so, to be able to celebrate on that day, its obviously about football, but everybody really anticipates the performance. singing my, my scott fans are already speculating who the potential guest performers could be, predicting artists from alicia keys to jayz. But usher isnt revealing anything just yet. Well, one thing i can say is ive collaborated with a lot of incredible artists throughout the years. If anything, i like to socially engage the world, you know what im saying . Listen, fingers crossed usher will lace up those roller skates for the show, right . We can only hope. Its all going to go down at allegiant stadium in las vegas on february 11. All right, and now to john legend and chrissy teigen. After 10 years of marriage, theyve renewed their vows. And it all went down in lake como, italy, where they first got married. But this time around, they had their four kids with them. Yes, and at the server for an hour event hosted by one fair wage, chrissy told e news why they took the plunge again. I saw everyone was like, oh, a vow renewal is a kiss of death. But im like, lets kiss it. Lets do it. We didnt mean for it to be a vow renewal. We were like, well, were going to rewrite them and say them. Because i have a big hangup that i didnt write my own vows because i was so nervous and just insecure and stuff. So i didnt. So thats been like a big regret of mine. So if anything, it was a chance to redo it and be with people we love. Zuri chrissy had multiple looks for the vow renewal weekend, two of which were designed by zuhair murad, including this offtheshoulder black and white satin dress and this black lace and sheer gown, which matched daughter lunas dress. It was easy peasy. I wanted the lightest thing to dance in. Zuhair, for me, means a lot. Because hes been there since the beginning of our journey. And he was so nice when nobody would dress me. Zuri during the ceremony, chrissy got emotional reflecting on their decade of marriage. I was so choked up. And the things youve gone through and suffered through and that youve been through together. And i said it a million times. I said, this means so much more than 10 years ago. I dont want to be like corny or about john, but i did for that like few minutes. And i looked over at him. And he was like, his eyes were like filled with water. It was amazing. It was so beautiful. Zuri emotions continued to run high as the couple was surrounded by their four children luna, miles, esti, and new baby wren. John and i pulled up on a little boat to the hotel for the big night. And miles and luna ran down the dock. And i lost it. Zuri but leave it to the kids to keep things light and silly. Theyre so disgusted by us. Everythings like lalalala. Its adorable. Kids say the darndest things. All right, next up, la fire rescue gave us a firsthand account of what its like to be on the front lines of a fire. But do i have what it takes to ranks of these exceptional teammates . Well be right back. In our hands. We got pulse. Thats what we fight for. We fight for life. Zuri this summer, chicago fire producer dick wolf brought us to la fire rescue on nbc. And now you can see encore episodes every sunday at 11 00 pm on the usa network. The reality series documents the real calls and the real drama behind the heroes of the incredible la county fire department. I was at their headquarters in los angeles. And these real life heroes are responsible for protecting the lives and the property of over 4 million people. And one of those heroes is captain Sheila Kelliher berkoh. She is breaking barriers as the 15th woman to be hired by la county fire. Radio were still about a minute from getting on scene. Hey, watch your footing right here.

And we have all these specialty units our hazmat, our fireboats, our internationallyknown usar team, and our canine units, and our world class paramedic and ems programs. And its really cool to see how its done. Radio cpr in progress. Lets go. [indistinct speech] tell me a little bit more about that dynamic with all of you as a family. I think one of the best scenes that we have at the fire station and its across the country, i know this for a fact is that kitchen table. In the morning, we come in. The offgoing shift is leaving. Were coming on. We catch up on the day. We catch up on life. Thats how we check in with each others families. And that keeps us together as a team as well. Because it can get intense. And we see a lot of things that most people shouldnt see as many times as weve seen them in our lifetime. Sheila we need to helicopter for a trauma patient. We have a clip of you on the 101 with a trauma victim. Sheila yeah, that call, theres multiple patients. So our job when we get on scene is what we call triage, to sort. So were looking to see whos the most critical patient and all the other patients, what their needs are and to prioritize that and see what other kind of Additional Resources we might need to take care of those patients. Zuri how do you stay so composed in these moments, especially when someones literal life is in your hands . Its just a problem. Were going to fix it. Ive been trained by some of the best anywhere. And i continue to learn and continue to grow. But i think its in that education and training that allows us to stay calm. Zuri and speaking of training, it was my turn to hit the course. I am all decked out. Ive got my gear on. Its time to get a little taste of the academy. Lets do this. Youre going to go in that door jamb. And im going to help you out. Ok. Then were going to, boom. [grunt] hey. No. There you go. And were in. Looks good. What were going to do is teach you how to pull the hose off the side of the engine. Ok. And then were going to charge that with water. And then youre going to just feel what it feels like to have that kind of pressure that youre in charge of. All right, water hold on tight. All right. Ah oh my god, it feels incredible. Water. Woo. Thats all she wrote. All right, time to hit the gym, clearly. Next up, Kerry Washington shares her love story with her husband for the first time. Well be right back. That i was born from a sperm donor. Scott wow, Kerry Washington shares that huge bombshell from her parents in her new memoir, thicker than water. Its out now. But there is so much more revealing she does. That is absolutely right. Kerry has always been extremely private about her relationship with her husband, former nfl star nnamdi asomugha. But now were finding out details about their love story. And she told access producer and guest correspondent emily orozco about her decision to open up. Emily you talk about your husband, which you dont normally i have rarely done. Emily yeah. I have rarely done, yes. Emily youre normally quite private about him. We are. But he read the book. My parents read the book before anybody else. Emily ok. And my husband read the book before anybody else. So i do have their blessing. Emily i dont even know if we knew how you and your husband met until this book. I think thats true. Kit they first met backstage in 2009 at the broadway play race, which kerry starred in. Kerry on recording we finally did meet. And i felt dizzied by the calm and pure authenticity of his presence. I still am. Emily describe that feeling for me. I think what i love about god, its so funny. Even though i share so much in the book, i feel like i still any more talk about that sacred. I think its really clear in the book how i feel about him. Kit in her memoir. Kerry gives up some details on their first date. Kerry on recording nnamdi and i met one morning in the midst of a snowstorm to have our first date over pancakes and green tea. Kit the pair secretly tied the knot in 2013 in sun valley, idaho. Kerry on recording for months, i had been wearing my Engagement Ring secretly pinned inside my clothing, for fear that if people knew we were engaged, it would be impossible to have a wedding away from public spectacle. Kit they succeeded in keeping the ceremony a secret by using codes, as she explained on her Kerry Washington thicker than water 20 20 special. We never talked about a wedding. We called it a family reunion. And my dress designer called it the dress for the moroccan premiere of scandal. Sometimes we would be in fittings and people were like, its a little bridal. And we were like, yeah, its ok. Its ok. White is the new black. It was so special, you know, to have our wedding really belong to us, our relationship. I mean, there were so many people that after we got married were like, i didnt even know you were dating. Like, what . Who is this guy . Kit the pair shared three children. Kerry is a bonus mom to nnamdis daughter. And theyve welcomed a son and a daughter together. Kerry did you think about your kids reading this one day . Are you hopeful that they get to know you in a different way by reading this book one day . Huh. I think im hopeful that nothing in the book is a surprise to them when they read it because im able to talk to them about the truth of who i am all along the way. I hope im able to be that generous with them about my own vulnerabilities at the right times. So important to be open with your kids. All right, now to singer and actress keke palmer, who was honored for her work affecting social change at the black Music Action Coalition gala. But before she slipped into her sleek black gown, she invited us along as she got ready for her big night. Hey, access hollywood. Its your girl keke palmer. Welcome to my home. And come and get ready with me. Very, very excited to be receiving my award. For me, my art is a way to push things forward and to represent people like myself in the best way possible. So any time that youre acknowledged for that, it really, it means a lot. Kit and keke has done just that with her digital network, keytv, which she created in hopes of spotlighting a new generation of creators. Keke i think, for me, ive gotten a lot of freedom from social media. I just wanted to find a way to encourage and share my platform with other voices that maybe arent receiving the same attention. Kit kekes also been focusing on her music, releasing her album big boss back in may. And she shared the inspiration behind it. Its something empowering. Because thats how i felt. I think, for me, the time that i recorded it, i was about 27 or 28, i think. I do feel like i started to get my footing and come into my own and kind of just feel like, hey, you know what . I got this. And that was the energy that i created the album with. Kit keke also just wrapped her big boss tour and says she really felt the love from her fans. Keke and its so funny. Its like a joke on tour that we keep saying. Its like, this is your city. And its like, it feels like every city is my city. From the beginning to the end, you know, ive been feeling nothing but love. Kit its been a busy year for keke, both professionally and personally. She became a mom back in february to son leo and shared how motherhood has changed her. Keke everything just becomes so fierce in your life. And then the way that your child loves you, honestly, that connection, that bond, and that experience, it really puts things in perspective for you. Kit it was moms night out for keke. But before heading out the door, she revealed her look for the night. A little tom ford number. I feel very elegant, but also sexy. Got a nice little hoop, keeping it fun and young. Im ready to go.

What would make a 36yearold woman have an affair with a seventh grader . People, they like see me as a victim. I wanted it. I already have an idea of what it must have felt like. What .
