NEW YORK – Heather Morris loves nothing more than being a mom but balancing a career in Hollywood and raising two children under the age of 4 has been challenging.
But the former "Glee" star is ready for her comeback after taking on fewer roles since having her first son in 2013.
"I'm definitely excited and you know ready," Morris told Fox News. "I've stayed at home with [my kids] for a couple years and that's wonderful and really important."
She added, "You need to have balance in life."
