Jennifer Love Hewitt recently shared a playful glimpse into her life with her 9-year-old son, Atticus, reminding us all of the charm and wit of family moments.
In a light-hearted Instagram video, Hewitt attempts a sweet connection with Atticus, playfully calling herself the ‘tween whisperer.’ The actress shared how her efforts to bond were slightly overshadowed by the ever-appealing iPad. ‘When you want to bond with your kids but they are watching the iPad!’ she joked as she embraced the moment, ‘Take what you can get!’
In the charming clip, Hewitt is seen leaning in close to Atticus and singing along to a popular rendition of the Golden Girls theme song ‘Thank You for Being a Friend.’ Meanwhile, Atticus, trying hard not to burst into laughter, enjoys his pretzel sticks and attempts to stay focused on his screen.
Fans absolutely loved this slice of Jennifer’s life. One fan commented appreciatively, ‘Awwwww he looks just like you. So adorable to see you both like this.’ Another added with joy, ‘Atticus is the cutest & you made me smiiiile!’ It’s rare for Hewitt to share such personal moments on social media, which made this video all the more special.
Hewitt, who rarely features her children on social media, recently also included them in her latest Lifetime movie, ‘The Holiday Junkie.’ The movie, which she directed and co-starred in with her husband Brian Hallisay, allowed their daughter Autumn to explore her budding interest in acting.
When discussing Autumn’s acting ambitions, Jennifer shared her advice, reflecting on her own childhood experiences in Hollywood. ‘Stay in school, do that,’ she recommended, encouraging Autumn to grow up a little more before diving into such a demanding industry. Brian echoed these thoughts, highlighting the importance of education and personal growth before pursuing a Hollywood career.
Their perspective is shared by many who believe in laying a strong foundation before chasing big dreams. As Brian wisely put it, figuring out who you are first is key, ‘Because if it’s something that you want to do, you have to work hard at it, and it’s not easy.’
In sharing this playful moment with Atticus, Jennifer Love Hewitt offered a rare, heartwarming glimpse into her family life. Her perspective on balancing work and family resonates with many, especially as she navigates these personal decisions in the limelight.
