Mary Louise Parker | William Atticus Parker

Breakups are complex, not just for the partner who was left but also for any children involved. When Mary Louise Parker learned that her partner would be leaving her, she was devastated because she was pregnant at that time.  The Golden Globe Award winner, however, was not about to give up. She kept quiet about the whole thing and only talked about the incident years later.

She focused her energy instead on raising her eldest son, who arrived in 2004. Does she have regrets as a single mom? The actress says that she feels that the perfect family paradigm does not exist and that she does everything she could to raise William Atticus to be the best version of himself. We can even guess that she is teaching him money management skills and other practical skills he can use in life. She also considers her children the coolest people she has ever met!
