Leighton Meester is 100% focused on being the best mom she can be. The former ‘Gossip Girl‘ actress shares two kids, Arlo, 9, and a 4-year-old son, whose name has not been shared publicly, with her husband, Adam Brody.
During a recent interview with Bustle, the 39-year-old mom admits she’s turned down several roles because she didn’t want to be away from her children…
There’s been a lot of stuff that I haven’t done because I want to be with them. I don’t like being away from them. I’m sure a lot of people feel this way, but I’m especially not into it. Obviously, for the very right thing, I would probably be like, ‘Let’s figure it out.’ I mean, I’m not going to leave my family for a year. We’re not doing that.
Seems reasonable to us! We don’t think any mom wants to leave their family for a year! A lot of actresses who have started families tend to only take acting jobs that are close to home.
Earlier this year, Meester revealed her kids get what her and Adam do for a living, and sometimes even visit them on set.
My kids, they get what we do. They come on location a lot. I don’t think they’re fazed at all. They get a lot of us off set and a lot of us not working, which has been always a really big benefit for both of us.
Sounds like they have a great thing going on. We’re so happy for them!
