Shepherd, 59, stopped by the morning show to talk about her Broadway debut as Genie in Disney’s “Aladdin,” becoming the first woman ever cast in the part. During the conversation, co-hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones challenged her to a game of dream offers, each with a downside attached. The first one sounded perfect.
“You can have unlimited designer clothes for life,” one host said. Shepherd immediately replied, “Yes!”
Then came the condition. “Let me let you live in that for a second,” the host said. “But your ex gets to pick every outfit.”

Shepherd wanted to know exactly which ex they meant. “Oh, my ex that I pay the alimony to?” she asked. Once the hosts confirmed it, she turned down the deal on the spot. “Banish it,” she said.
Shepherd has been down the aisle twice. She wed Jeffrey Tarpley in 2001, and their son, Jeffrey Jr., arrived in 2005. That marriage ended in 2010. She married Lamar Sally the following year, but they separated in 2014. A court fight followed over paying for the child they had through a surrogate, and the case drew national headlines.
Shepherd kept the joke going even after the hosts moved on to the next question. “You threw in my ex-husband and Jeffrey [Tarpley],” she said.
