"We just got a new house and we did construction — nobody knows this — but in our bathroom, there was one toilet," Trainor said on the podcast.

On an episode of the "Pretty Basic with Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz" podcast," Trainor said that her husband would "hang out" with her while she pooped, but she couldn't deal with her husband's poops.

She did, however, say that they used their toilets together on a shared basis.

"It's the best part. We hold hands, we pee," Trainor said. "He sits while he pees, which he's mad that I told the world that, too. It's easy, he's tired, he's a dad."

Trainor posted a TikTok explaining a 2018 incident in which paparazzi took photos of her and Sabara leaving a sex shop.

In the video, she says that the "embarrassing" incident had a backstory: she was buying a vibrator and lube for a friend who was "too shy" to visit the store herself. Unfortunately, as Trainor said, they were coming from a workout and they "kinda looked sad." Apparently, Trainor's mother was "pissed" after the photos went viral.
