It’s been an eventful year couple of years for the star, who saw her eldest son Dylan start university at Brown, in the US, last year.
But the actor has previously admitted she loves all the new phases of motherhood. She told the Today show, “I kind of pre-empted the roll-your-eyes teenager years. I love it. I just love the freshness. It's all so exciting to me… I was working when I was my son's age.
“I was in the theatre, and I look at him, and I go, 'Wow, I was working when I was your age.' So I'm just enjoying this time, learning a whole bunch of stuff that I didn't know."
She’s also spoken about their career aspirations, as they both aim to follow in their family’s footsteps and become actors.
“I have two kids who want to be actors and I am so proud. It’s not about fame for them. They’ve been brought up around famous people. They know what that is like”, she added.
“They want the craft because that’s what they love. And it gives me such pride that they get it. They understand that this is not a quick fix. They’re so good. I can’t wait for you all to see which way they’re going to go because they’re going to go somewhere, I’m telling you.”
