“And there were two babies and I was overwhelmed, and really, really happy. So I did a lot of that, and I’ve done other jobs and things, but I got to be a mom, which was very nice,” the star continued.

She also says that one of her daughters has been watching the reboot of Frasier.

“One of my kids was home for Spring Break and she brought four girls home with her, and they were sitting on the couch watching Frasier,” Gilpin says. “And I couldn’t believe it. Proud mom.”

Gilpin has been married to husband Vincent since 1999. The two welcomed their twins in 2004 via surrogacy.
