In May, Lourdopened up about showing her kids her late mother Carrie Fisher’s body of workas she spoke at her mother’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. “I can’t wait to bring my kids here when they’re old enough to understand how cool it is,” she shared.

This past December, Lourdrevealed that she’d been having a difficult time balancing her grief for her mom and the joy of being a mom herself.

“Giving birth to my daughter and watching my son meet her have been two of the most magical moments I have ever experienced. But with the magic of life tends to come the reality of grief,” she continued. “My mom is not here to meet either of them and isn’t here to experience any of the magic.”

The actress welcomed daughter Jackson in December,with her father Bryan Lourd confirming the newswhile speaking atVariety’s Dealmakers Breakfastin Beverly Hills, California.

“Everything’s great,” he added. “So if I wander, it’s because the adrenaline is still flowing.”
