Milano is no stranger to offering glimpses of her family life on social media. In April 2023, she posted a similar photo showing her daughter asleep beside her, which she described as a cherished part of motherhood.
As a parent, the “Charmed” star embraces an open and honest approach style with her children, whom she shares with her husband, Dave Bugliari. Understanding the complexity of the world they’re growing up in, Milano believes in engaging her son and daughter in meaningful conversations about pressing societal issues from a young age.
Topics such as feminism, body image, and bullying are daily discussions in their household as she holds the conviction that transparency with her children is essential. “I am a big believer in telling them the truth and not hiding anything from them,” she said.
