In July, Silverstone appeared onThe Ellen Fisher Podcastto talk about her life as a vegan and what goes into raising healthy kids. When the subject of co-sleeping came up, Silverstone revealed that she’s always slept with her pre-teen, whom she shares with ex-husbandChristopher Jarecki.
“Bear and I still sleep together,” she said at the time, noting that she is just “following nature” with her parenting style.
Later in the discussion, Silverstone praised motherhood as “the most precious, most unbelievable experience in this world,” adding, “For me, it’s so divine.”
