Boy Mom Ellie Kemper Reveals Why She’s Ignoring All the Experts While Doing This With Her 2 Sons
Ellie Kemper is telling it like it is once again. This time, she gave super-rare details about being a boy mom in an interview with Parents. Not only that, but she talked about how she isn’t paying attention to the parenting experts when it comes to planning summer with her growing sons.
“I’m looking forward to having not as much structure,” she said. “I know that all the parenting experts tell me that structure is key, and I agree with that to a point.”
She added, “But I think it’s also nice to let some of the structure slide during the summer, which is sort of natural.”
However, this may not be what she sticks to halfway through summer! In the same interview, The Office alum talked about how her and her husband’s parenting style is ever-evolving, saying, “While my husband and I have rules and boundaries and structure in place, I’ve learned that I need to ease up on certain things. So, it’s kind of something that I’m constantly refining.”
Back in 2012, Kemper and comedy writer Michael Koman got engaged, and married that same year. They have two sons, James, born in Aug 2016, and Matthew, born in Sept 2019.
In a recent chat with Kemper during Kohl’s Evening with Ellie! dinner, she talked about her motherly habits.
“It is very important to stay grounded,” she said. “I would say one habit that I really lean into is leaning on my mom friends. I think that it takes a village to get this done. It’s nice to know that you’re not alone, that you have a family, a team, there with you.”
