The star and host of the upcoming Disney-ABCsyndicated showTamron Hallspoke to PEOPLE during the2019 Essence Festivalin New Orleans last weekend, opening up about new motherhood and a recent messy situation.
“It’s a game-changer,” said Hall, 48, of welcoming sonMoseson April 24 with husbandSteven Greener. “This on-the-job training is the hardest I’ve ever experienced in my life.”
While in New Orleans for the festival — where she hosted Disney’sThe Lion Kinglive-action film’s preview panel — the star thankfully had some backup.
“My mom is here from Texas helping me. She’s at the hotel with him right now and attempted to take him to the casino!” Hall shares with a laugh. “I’m like, ‘Mom! He can’t go to the casino!’ ”

That said, it’s never easy for Hall to part ways with her little one, as she’s now a card-carrying member of the doting-moms club.
“He’s hilarious and so chill — all of the things that I believe every parent thinksof their child. Now I’m that parent,” she tells PEOPLE. “When I left for the convention center this morning, I kept looking back. It’s hard to leave.”

When it came to making the trek down to New Orleans, though, there was an inevitable mishap. “We got on the plane and just as I got on, he spit up all over his onesie,” says Hall. “He flew the rest of the flight [dressed] in [just] a diaper, wrapped in his blanket.”

And Hall, who’s also a newlywed in addition to being a new mom, tells PEOPLE she’s making sure that little Moses isn’t the only guy she’s focused on.
“We’re doing the best we can,” she says of herself and Greener. “It’s not a perfect science, and I think that’s the thing that I’ve embraced at 48. I tell my husband all the time, ‘When we havethese little moments to sneak away, let’s embrace them.’ Because the unknown variable is right behind the door. [Even] if it’s [just] an hour a day, we try to embrace the quiet moments.”
