Мейя Рудольф и Пол Томас Андерсон – гордые родители четырех детей: Перл, Люсиль, Джека и Минни.

Актриса, снимавшаяся в Loot, и режиссер, получивший номинацию на Оскар, One Battle After Another, предположительно, вместе с 2001 года. Хотя они не состоят в законном браке, она называет его своим мужем с рождения их первого ребенка.

“Люди знают, что [муж] означает”, – сказала она The New York Times в сентябре 2018 года. “Это означает, что он – отец моего ребенка, и я живу с ним, и мы – пара, и мы не собираемся расставаться.”

Speaking to PopSugar in that year, the actress reflected on becoming a mother and how the experience changed her perspective on life. “When you’re thinking about another human being who you can see it’s far more precious than you and you have the instinct to take care of them, you naturally do what’s right and what’s important and they always come first,” Rudolph explained.

Here’s everything to know about Maya Rudolph and Paul Thomas Anderson’s children: Pearl, Lucille, Jack and Minnie.

Rudolph and Anderson welcomed their first child, daughter Pearl Anderson, on Oct. 15, 2005.

The actress gave birth while midseason at Saturday Night Live, on which she starred from 2000 to 2007. At the time, Tina Fey announced news of “the little peanut” during a Weekend Update segment.

After Pearl was born, Rudolph said that she and Anderson “got really lucky” with their daughter, whom she called “exceptional.”

When she was still breastfeeding, Pearl would fly with her mom to New York City for SNL. “She’s just a world-class traveler,” Rudolph told Bust magazine in 2006. “She does well on the plane and she’s friendly. It’s really hilarious to see her with strangers; she smiles at everybody. She’s a sweet lady.”

Prior to welcoming Pearl, Rudolph was completely “devoted to Saturday Night Live,” she told NPR in March 2012. “It’s really difficult to be there for anyone else in your life when you’re doing the show because of the hours it demands.”

After seven years on the show, Rudolph left SNL when her firstborn was 2 years old. In August 2017, she opened up to Parade about her decision to depart the iconic sketch comedy show.

“By the time I had a daughter, it was just the right time for me to leave,” she told the outlet. “It’s hard to work on a late-night comedy show and have a baby. I did it and I wouldn’t trade it for anything, but I wouldn’t really recommend it.”

As her eldest daughter grew, Rudolph began to notice the similarities between their personalities. In an interview conducted by John Krasinski for BlackBook in 2009, the actor said Pearl was the “coolest girl I’ve ever met,” which didn’t come as much of a surprise to the actress.

“Let’s put it this way: If she had come out as a total wallflower, and said stuff like, ‘I hate reading and I don’t like to perform,’ then I’d be like, ‘That’s not my kid,’ ” Rudolph quipped. “So it doesn’t really surprise me that she’s like, ‘Hey, I’m funny and I like to hang out.’ ”

Rudolph tends to keep her personal life private and does not make public appearances with her four kids or post photos of them on social media. However, the actress has shared stories about her kids in interviews, including how Pearl reacted to seeing her work. In 2016, Rudolph told PEOPLE that Pearl was “very proud” of her.

Rudolph and Anderson welcomed their second child, daughter Lucille Anderson, on Nov. 6, 2009.

The timing of her arrival caught the actress and filmmaker off guard, and they didn’t make it to the hospital. “[A home birth] was not my plan, but that’s what happened … because the baby came out really fast,” Rudolph said on Chelsea Lately in 2011. “It was scary, but it was kind of awesome.”

Rudolph announced she was expecting her second child in an interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada. She noted that her pregnancy with Pearl helped her prepare for her second: “The first time you are like wide-eyed: ‘What are we doing? Who’s coming? How do we take care of them?’ But this time, I’m like, ‘I have to sit down, I’m pregnant.’ ”

In March 2021, Pearl, Lucille and their younger siblings, Jack and Minnie, made their way to Studio 8H when their mom hosted SNL. Rudolph announced their presence during her monologue, telling the audience, “I have four incredible kids and they’re all here tonight. Don’t make me cry.”

“Just a heads-up to my kids, tonight Mommy’s gonna put on a lot of wigs, okay?” the Bridesmaids star added. “And do a lot of weird voices so it’s just gonna be like a typical day at home, I’ll just be wearing a bra.”

Though she keeps her children out of the spotlight, Rudolph nurtures their creative talents, including their musical abilities.

“I think they have the gift of music and they don’t realize how great they are, so they kind of keep it to themselves,” she said on Late Night with Seth Meyers in June 2022. “I force them all to play, to have piano lessons.”

All four of Rudolph’s children also appeared in their dad’s 2021 film Licorice Pizza, which the actress told Meyers was partly due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

“We were doing Zoom school and it was a scary time,” she said. “It provided this amazing experience where my kids, their friends, their friends’ parents, my parents, my nanny — we were all in it. We were all around and so we had a little world.”

Rudolph y Anderson recibieron a su tercer hijo, el hijo Jack Anderson, el 3 de julio de 2011.

Al igual que hicieron con Pearl y Lucille, la pareja optó por no conocer el sexo de su hijo con antelación. Antes de dar la bienvenida a Jack, Rudolph le dijo a Access Hollywood que estaba “emocionada” por mantenerlo en secreto.

“La parte emocionante es no saber quién va a llegar”, dijo. “Tienes que esperar nueve meses para una sorpresa, pero luego es una buena recompensa porque realmente es una sorpresa”.

Después de que naciera Jack, Rudolph se describió a sí misma como “un poco una profesional” cuando se trataba del embarazo y el parto. Aunque dijo que había cosas que “antes temía” cuando era una nueva madre, esas preocupaciones habían desaparecido desde entonces.

“Ya en el tercer hijo ni siquiera teníamos silla de coche”, bromeó con PEOPLE.

Durante una aparición en julio de 2015 en Conan, Rudolph le dijo al anfitrión Conan O’Brien que Turner Classic Movies estaba en todo momento en su casa para que “se filtrara en las mentes de los niños”, y así aprenderían la terminología. Jack estaba más interesado en las películas clásicas, señaló.

“I’ll be making breakfast, and I look over, and my 4-year-old son is just watching it, and it’s some beautiful lady talking to somebody and smoking a cigarette,” she shared. “And I’m wondering, what is my son thinking?”

Rudolph and Anderson welcomed their fourth child, Minnie Ida Anderson, on Aug. 1, 2013.

The couple’s youngest daughter is named after Rudolph’s late mother, singer Minnie Riperton, who died on July 12, 1979, when the actress was 6 years old.

Less than two years after welcoming Minnie, PEOPLE asked Rudolph if she foresaw having more children. “Hell no,” she said. “I would be a crazy person if that happened! I would be a crazy person!”

Rudolph may be a big star in Hollywood, but her children prefer her attention on them at home. In 2016, the actress told PEOPLE that her kids often tell her to “sit down and watch” when they are hosting performances in their living room.

“They’ll dance to anything,” she said. “They’re natural hams.”

Sin embargo, Rudolph está deseando mostrarles sus proyectos, incluyendo cuando interpretó a un villano en Disenchanted. “Mis hijos son los fans de Disney más grandes,” dijo a PEOPLE en noviembre de 2022. “Y yo también. Creo que les encantará.”

Además de sus habilidades musicales y sus nuevos credenciales de actuación, los hijos de Rudolph también tienen otro interés en la cocina.

“Mis hijos sí les gusta hornear,” dijo a PEOPLE en diciembre de 2021. “Ojalá yo fuera más una panadera, pero hay mucha panadería creativa en mi hogar, especialmente con mis hijos más pequeños, lo que suele ser mi favorito.”
