“Especially breakfast and dinner,” theYoungeralum shared. “We’re all sitting at the table and now my daughter will ask everyone, ‘How was your day?’ We all like to sit down and talk and we’ve made it a really important part of our day that we come together as a family.”

Adding that the trio is “trying to make the most of this time,” Foster also said her daughter was “really thriving” because “we’re all together.”

In a November 2021 essay for PEOPLE abouther adoption journey, Foster said she “was always on the fence about whether I even wanted to have children.”

“I was always very career-driven, and I had such a tricky relationship growing up with my own mom … It was never clear cut for me. I married in my 30s; it didn’t last, but one thing it did give me was this little inkling that I wanted to maybe have a family,” she added. (Foster was previously married to fellow Tony winnerChristian Borle.)

But her relationship with Griffin changed that, saidThe Music Manstar in her essay.

“When I met my husband, it was the first time that I finally went, ‘Oh, I get it. I understand why people have families,’ " she wrote.

Foster discussed her relationship with Griffin in aninterview with Broadway.comback in April 2015, revealing he took her to Turks and Caicos for a “perfect” 40th birthday getaway.

Discussing her “very talented” husband’s career, she added, “He’s like, the smartest guy I’ve ever known. He’s incredibly smart.”

Foster said they love to go to theater and watch movies together. And while Griffin showed her “classics, likeRear Window,” the actress said she introduced him to more “silly” movies.

“I’m trying to bring his intelligence a little bit down,” she joked.
