KELLY RUTHERFORD

You live in New York and your children live in the South of France–how do you balance visits, travel, your career, your charity, and everything else (you are a superwoman!) and manage to keep a routine?

I just do the best I can. And I don’t put a lot of pressure on myself, I have to really just prioritize every day.

 

And how do you stay so poised with such a hectic schedule?

I do yoga when I can, and try to find joy in the little things.

 

Can you tell us more about the Children’s Justice Campaign?

It’s a campaign to raise awareness about the injustice happening to kids in the family court system. I’ve been through it and realized it’s a system that needs to be updated.

 

What’s you favorite thing to do with Hermés and Helena?

Just cuddle–we like to just be together. That, and going to the park to watch films.

 

Where are your favorite places in the city to visit together?

 

Do you have any favorite kids brands?

Bonpoint, Crewcuts, and Marie Chantal.

 

You are a TV Icon and have not changed at all since Melrose Place! Can you share your beauty secrets? What can we find in your beauty cabinet?

Products by Peter Thomas Roth, sunscreen, and Chanel foundation.

 

Where are some of your favorite places to relax in the city?

My home. Or Central Park. A few cafes downtown, like Ladurée. The Caudalie Spa. Purl Soho for knitting supplies.

 

What can we find in your handbag?

A hair brush, some kids snacks, lip gloss, Kleenex, my wallet, and my iPhone.

 

Your ‘Love (… a jewelry story)‘ line is so pretty—what inspired you to start the collection?

I wanted jewelry to wear every day that was also great quality.

 

What’s your favorite meal to cook for your kids?

They love pasta. I make them broccoli too–one vegetable they both love!

 

What do you love most about motherhood?

Everything. I always wanted to be a mother. There is nothing greater.
