Jason Ritter on her daughter 

Lynskey, who has a 5-year-old daughter with her husband Jason Ritter, remarked, "We have contrasting parenting styles," during an event at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.

"I feel so fortunate to have my daughter, and I love her. It's like the joy of my life. Every day, I'm like, 'Thank you, thank you, thank you for this child.' I want to spend every minute with her."

Referring to her onscreen character where she’s the mother of a 16-year-old, Lynskey said, "It's different for Shauna.



 

She didn't want to have a kid. She's kind of doing her best. But I don't know, I think there's not a lot [of overlap]. There's not a Venn diagram where the things kind of connect."

Meanwhile, Ritter said on the radio show, SiriusXM's 'The Jess Cagle Show' about her girl, "She is watching her parents, and she's already showing signs. "

"I think you want to help your child be as fully who they are as they want to be. And you know, as we all know, the more you try to like control someone's life, the more they rebel."
