We shot THREE WOMEN during the pandemic, before the strike, before baby girl, before my family’s recent big move… there have been many times since filming where I have felt like I don’t recognize myself anymore. Watching it now, as it premieres on @starz , I have been so moved, so encouraged, and so proud to be a part of telling these stories of women holding onto themselves while evolving and living through so much… life.
This is truly something special, with brilliant women in every position of this production. And personally, I had the incredible fun of joyfully reuniting with the @dewandawise (an absolute star). We got to play besties this time! (IYKYK!). I LOVE that this role is so lighthearted, which is so different from the types of roles I often play. AND also, I felt such a responsibility to depict friendship with the care it deserves. My girlfriends reflect my heart back to me, even when I’m struggling to know myself. Watching THREE WOMEN felt a lot like that. I’m really grateful and proud to be a part of it. I hope you all enjoy!
Apparently it’s #nationaldaughtersday AND it’s our anniversary. What can I say? It’s my true joy and honor to be Mommy and Wifey to these two. I propose we take a family nap to celebrate? See you there @prestontboyd 🛌 😴♥️
I’m so glad I have another day to celebrate this man. You were born to be a Dad: kind, gentle, thoughtful, patient, almost 20 years of making me laugh with your dad jokes😜 Our little Bugaloo won the dad lottery. I’m so blessed to be on this adventure with you. Happy FIRST Father’s Day @prestontboyd !

Swipe to see how brilliantly wardrobe camouflaged a not so little secret for my last days @manifestonnetflix . What a joy to work with all these folks. Thank you all for watching. Im so sad to see this journey end… I even waddled my way to our wrap party. ♥️♥️♥️
Last night was the New York premiere of A GOOD PERSON and I’m unbelievably bummed I didn’t get to celebrate with these folks… What a joy to do what we love with people we love. What a joy to witness brilliant artists in their element. Go check this jammy out in the theaters. It’s really special♥️♥️ @zachbraff thank you for including me! Congratulations to you and everyone involved! ♥️♥️
Happy birthday to me, a woman who, until 5 weeks ago, would have never imagined she’d want matching family pajamas🫣 And I got them (thanks, @aprildoodles ♥️🥹)! But alas, my plans to take that pic fell through because cuddles. Anyway… today, I celebrate my birthday by embracing this beautiful mom life I was born into last month. What a year! Happy New Year, everyone! #somebodysmama #birthday and #bornday #poppinbottles #ofmilk
