While the star tends to not share much about her two daughters – Olive, nine, and Frankie, seven – with ex-husband Will Kopelman, she opened up about how she recently handled a slight disagreement with her youngest daughter.

As Frankie's eighth birthday is coming up, the mom-of-two revealed just what her daughter had in store for her celebration, and how the actress wasn't totally convinced about her daughter's idea for her party.

During the morning talk show's beginning segment of Drew's News, where she discusses recent positive headlines, the host and her show partner Ross Mathews discussed a recent advice column detailing how an upcoming bride didn't know what to do about the fact that her mother insisted she wouldn't go to the wedding if her daughter wore a black wedding dress.

The two were quick to take the bride's side, and the Santa Clarita Diet actress explained how the situation in a way hit close to home. 

She had advice for the fellow mom, stating: "Maybe we let our daughters pull a 492 and be free and do their own thing," which received applause from the audience in return.
