Foster has been extremely private about her her relationships and family, but she did take a moment to talk about her sons and her journey through motherhood in an interview with Porter. “I mean, there were just so many surprises about it. It’s been such a creative experience for me. That’s probably why I worked so little when the boys were [younger]. A day of putting together Lego and making up a song about peanut butter was as creative as I needed to be,” she said.
