An American TV star has opened up about her unique bond with her mother, revealing that she feels "comforted" by being washed by her mum in the shower.
Brittani Cooper, who stars alongside her mother Mary on TLC's sMothered, has shared that despite raising eyebrows with their close relationship, showering together has brought them closer than ever. The pair, hailing from Florida, have been doing this for years, with Mary explaining that she has been helping Brittani since she was five years old.
In a preview clip of the show's second season, Mary expresses their comfort with the situation, stating that it is something they have been doing for a long time. She lovingly tells her daughter to "move over baby" in the shower and remarks on how good the water feels on their bodies.
Mary goes on to wash Brittani's hair, offering some light-hearted advice about tanning and expressing that showering together is the best way to start their day. Despite facing criticism for their actions, Mary defends their bond, emphasizing her love for her daughter and the comfort it brings them both.
Brittani also defends their actions, mentioning that simple gestures like washing her hair make her feel comforted. At 19 years old, she sees no issue with their closeness and attributes it to their strong bond. Mary previously shared that their showering routine began as a way to comfort Brittani during panic attacks, ultimately strengthening their relationship.
Although their bond has caused some tension in Mary's relationship with her boyfriend, Frank, she stands by her decision to prioritize her daughter. She acknowledges the challenges it has brought but asserts that her daughter is her top priority.
