Karoline has spoken highly of her husband, saying in an interview, “He is my greatest supporter, he’s my best friend and he’s my rock. He’s built a very successful business himself so now he’s fully supportive of me building my success in my career.”

Karoline has been open about balancing motherhood and being a working woman. She admitted that she feels “guilty” about being away from her son due to her job.

In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Karoline said, “I spend every second that I possibly can with my son when I’m home on weekends and evenings.”

She added: “I try to make it home for bedtime as much as I can throughout the week.”

Karoline also shared that she found being a new mom “challenging,” especially with the demands of her job. “I think every working mother understands the demands,” she said. “No matter where you are, what you’re doing, there is a sense of guilt.”
