Fans have been tuning into TLC to watch mother-daughter duo Dawn and Cher Hubsher ever since 2019.
Lucky for us, we got the chance to chat with them all about it.
We are all about creating memories.
It was so fun getting to watch Season 1, and then Season 2 was really cool.
Were your husbands and other family members all on board, too?
And he’s a doctor.
He’s very serious in his job, but he gets it and he has fun with it too.
What about you, Dawn?
You’re both married to doctors, so they’re busy men!
Dawn:He doesn’t get involved with Cher and I.
Like Cher was saying, we do our own thing.
He says I leave him alone.
Is there anything fans don’t see on sMothered?
Was there anything you two didn’t want on camera when you first joined the show?
“This is kind of our off-limits time,” or something we didn’t get to see?
I feel that’s the part of reality TV.
It’s … you’re not allowed that off-limits time.
You get to see everything, whether it’s me breastfeeding or it’s I don’t know.
you might have a relationship, that it’s not weird, and everyone can have their own bond.
It doesn’t have to be exactly like ours, but that it’s a wonderful thing.
Cher:My mom and I are very close.
We love, like she was saying, getting others to want to experience that bond.
We wrote it prior to starting the season, and it launched after the first season aired.
Dawn:I’m very close to my sons, too.
I’m very close with them, also.
Dawn:I think because he’s still single, so he wants to be left alone more.
Where you’ve seen Cher Hubsher before
You two are not strangers to reality TV.
How has this experience been different from “My Super Sweet 16” or “Exiled”?
All three are completely different shows, but what has your experience been like this time?
We love chatting all the time.
We love talking, and this is kind of just who we are.
It’s just really getting to know the people behind the party and things like that.
Dawn, were you close with your mom growing up too?
I was very close.
We spoke every day.
My mom just passed away in January from COVID.
I’m so sorry.
Can you kind of talk a little more in detail about that?
We’re going to be married 38 years now.
Dawn:Oh, yes.
I didn’t want to not see them.
So I would actually drive … [I] made that trip like three times during COVID.
Yeah, my mom did the same thing.
She drove 22 hours to come help with our baby.
Dawn:it’s possible for you to definitely relate.
I can absolutely relate.
It’s been a tough year with a little one.
Cher, I wanted to ask you about your relationship with your husband, too.
How has your relationship with your mom affected him?
I think he just gets frustrated with that sense or with my mom and I talking all the time.
He feels, “Ugh!
Why do you why do you always have to ask your mom questions?”
Or “Can’t we just kind of decide on our own?”
But I’m just so used to speaking with my mom all day long.
We literally talk every day, all day long.
We recently started a podcast, which we’re which we’ve been recording.
Dawn:And that’s why we called our podcast “Chattermouth”!
I think it was interesting for my husband to watch things and how people take things.
It’s always kind of eye-opening for sure.
Just to kind of hear how others feel about something or how the world takes something.
It’s definitely eye-opening and makes you question things and think about things a little bit differently.
Yeah, for sure.
What about you, Dawn?
Of course, he probably doesn’t like that I call so many times a day.
I try not to call too much when he’s home.
How hard is it for these sMothered stars to keep secrets?
From what we saw in the episode, no one ever found out that you told your mom.
Cher:I think during the night, during the night he he did end up finding out.
They didn’t end up actually airing that part, but he did find out.
And he pulled me aside.
“Did you tell your mom?”
I’m sorry."
It didn’t end up showing that, but, but yeah, I did end up telling him.
Dawn:[It’s] very hard not to show my everything.
That’s a big secret to keep.
Oh, my gosh!
you’re free to’t tell anyone.
Dawn:My expression shows it all.
Cher:Yeah, and become so excited.
Being able to rewatch that was the best, and every time I watch that part, I cry.
It brings tears to my eyes, so it was so special.
And so I’m glad that I did that in the end.
I had to listen to my gut, and sometimes you just have to make the decision for yourself.
Dawn:And I’m so happy she did that, because we had that special moment.
Just the two of us that I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.
You could really tell that watching from home.
Dawn:It actually gives me goosebumps just now thinking about it.
Cher:I think that’s definitely
Dawn:I think yeah.
Cher:I have a few favorites.
I think I have my top three.
So those three of my top three.
It’s hard to pass.
What about you, Dawn?
Her her due date was July 4th.
Dawn:No, I’d love to, but we never have.
You don’t have any plans to?
I have a dream we could all be together.
I think that would be so much fun, but we haven’t had the opportunity to do that.
That would be fun to just see a reunion episode and see all of you guys hanging out.
Cher:The best part?
I think it’s just so fun.
Every Sunday night, or now it’s going to be Mondays.
And that feeling right before it airs is just so exciting.
And then I think the worst part is just, I don’t know.
What would you say is the worst part?
Dawn:When it’s over.
Cher:When the show’s over, the season’s over?
Dawn:The season’s over.
It’s so great creating these memories.
You have them for life, and it’s just so special.
I’m now I remember that!"
And reliving the whole, all these experiences all over again is just amazing.
And so it’s always a little scary, exciting.
What’s about to go down on Twitter?
But yeah, it’s fun.
Cher:Every commercial, we’re on the phone.
Every like, literally every commercial, we’re on the phone.
And a lot of times we’re just on speaker silently …
So we can kind of talk about it.
Right after it, things happen, and we like talking about other duos, their drama and stuff.
We’re fans of the show just like anybody else.
How have Cher and Dawn Hubsher’s lives changed since Season 1 of sMothered?
How have your lives changed since Season 1?
Obviously, Cher, you became a mom, but in what other ways?
And sometimes she can’t answer the phone with me, because she’s busy.
So I guess it changed where I have to know what I know when she calls.
I double-check that I’m available, because she has less time.
Cher:I think it’s just I don’t know if it’s really changed much.
And people write to us on Instagram or on TikTok.
How the pandemic impacted Cher and Dawn Hubsher’s relationship
How has the pandemic affected your relationship?
Cher:It’s hard on each other.
For me, I’m not flying right now because my daughter she can’t wear a mask.
So I’m so nervous, and so it’s definitely become harder.
I want to go to Florida.
I want to visit my mom all the time.
I want to get out of the freezing weather, and it’s not easy.
Can you tell us a little bit about what we can expect to see in Season 3?
Cher:Lots of laughter, for sure.
Cher:Laughter, lots of drama, lots of excitement.
What else can we say?
Dawn:I don’t know.
I think just yeah, lots.
Getting ourselves into trouble for sure.
The newest season of TLC’s “sMothered” will be airing on an all new night.
Season 3 premieres on Monday, May 31 at 9 p.m. EST/PST.
