Kaavia is Union’s first child, and so the 47-year-old actress says she often finds herself looking to her spouse for parenting tips.
She explained: “He’s been a parent literally half his adult life. So, especially when she first arrived, I deferred to him, because he’s a vet. There’s only so much reading that one can do, so I very much followed his lead.”
And the “LA’s Finest” star also praised her 12-year-old stepdaughter Zaya — who was born a boy named Zion — for helping to change the way she thinks about raising children, as she recently came out as transgender.
Union told People magazine: “It’s interesting because Kaav arrived before Zaya’s transition. Zaya had identified as gender nonconforming. And so we really worked a lot on unlearning so much of what we thought we knew about identity and gender expression and gender norms. We put so much effort into raising her differently and not trying to predetermine who she was.”
Welcome to the Party was released on May 5.
