You know what they say about raising kids — it takes a village. However, that “village” is completely different when it’s a place like Hollywood. Actor Katie Lowes would know. When your mom’s a TV star, your life may look a little — or a lot — different. “The career is filled with a lot of rejection, and a lot of unknowns, and a lot of things that aren’t necessarily stable or traditional,” Lowes told The List in an exclusive interview. That includes raising her kids, too. As a mom in the entertainment industry, she has had to adjust in order to balance her busy work schedule with her kids. “I used to have a hard, fast three-night rule where I would never miss more than three bedtimes in a row,” she said. Now, her kids simply join her on set.
As the host of the parenting podcast “Katie’s Crib,” the “Inventing Anna” actor is used to talking about the unpredictability of parenthood. From sleep training to teething and everything in between, Lowes sits down with experts to help parents all over the world feel a little more prepared when it comes to their kids. However, she can’t overlook how her two small children are growing up in “Hollyweird,” as she calls it.
