Molly Ringwaldis a mother to three children with her husband, Panio Gianopoulos.
The eldest is their daughter, Mathilda Ereni Gianopoulos, who was born in 2003.
This includes experimenting with her style, which she was interested in from a young age.
Despite this, accepting her child’s decisions and letting her take the lead was difficult.
The event marked Gianopoulos modeling debut, and her mama was very proud.
In anInstagrampost of herself and Gianopoulos, Molly Ringwald shared a behind-the-scenes snap from the shoot.
“Stage mom,” she wrote in the caption.
The actor posted a secondInstagrampost, this time a video which showed Gianopoulos posing for the camera.
“Natural beauty!”
Ringwald captioned the post.
“It’s about being different, and that’s important to me.”
“It doesn’t at all, it means absolutely nothing to them.
“I thought I would’ve had a little bit more edge or info or intel or something.
She has already landed a role in the upcoming film, “The Idea of You.”
“My elder daughter wants to be an actress.
She’s pretty serious about it,” she said.
At the time, Gianpoulos was 12, and her part was small.
Ringwald, for her part, also appeared in the movie, playing the role of Aunt Bailey.
“She loves acting,” Ringwald also toldTodayin 2015.
I filmed it, I actually directed her in it.”
She added, “It’s very daunting to direct your almost-teenage daughter.
I think it’s the only time that she’s ever listened to me!”
And then eventually, you know, you’re free to’t squash your child’s dream.
It’s a hard business.
I think she knows that …
I think she’s going into it with her eyes open.”
Ringwald also spoke toPeopleabout her daughter’s ambitions in 2023.
Mathilda Gianopoulos also weighed in to share her mom’s advice.
While that may not be very specific, it’s not a bad tip either!
“We didn’t have 24/7 Instagram and other social media.
I think that makes things very hard,” she told HuffPost in 2020.
“It makes it harder to focus, so they miss out on a lot of great things.
But I think kids are sort of losing their ability to do that now.”
“My daughter has amazing taste in books,” the “Pretty in Pink” actor told HuffPost.
“She loves Kurt Vonnegut, which I’d say the average 16-year-old isn’t reading today.
She really just gets books.”
“Books gave me a lot of solace and made me feel less alone in the world.
They gave me that feeling that there’s something else out there,” she said.
In her 2011 Good Housekeeping interview, Molly Ringwald told the publication that this had become a family ritual.
She touched on this again in a later interview with HuffPost in 2020.
“We decided family dinner would be the time everybody puts their devices down and hangs out and talks.
I think it’s really important,” the star told the publication.
“I credit my husband because he’s the one that gets it done.
I like to say I’m a fancy chef and he’s the diner chef.
He kind of reminds me of my mom in that way.”
“Family dinner,” she wrote in the caption.
“My 16-year-old haswatched ‘The Breakfast Club.
“I feel like it’s a rite of passage, and I’m just not ready.
There’s time, though.”
Ringwald echoed these sentiments again in a 2021 interview on SiriusXM’s"Radio Andy.
““It definitely is a different time.
In her 2011 Good Housekeeping interview, she admitted to occasionally losing her temper.
“I try not to.
“And we got in this whole conversation about being an artist.
And part of what makes you a great artist is how sensitive you are.
Ringwald has a close relationship with Gianopoulos but sets boundaries and makes rules.
She revealed this in anInstagrampost celebrating Mathilda’s 18th birthday in 2021.
“Your dad and I love you so much.
