Busy Philipps Reveals Her 12-Year-Old Child Birdie is Gay, Prefers They/Them Pronouns

Busy Philipps is opening up to fans.

During the most recent episode of her podcast Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best on Thursday (December 31), the 41-year-old actress revealed that her eldest child Birdie, 12, is gay.

“For those of you who are my friends listening at home, this is the first you’re hearing that Birdie is gay and out,” Busy shared with her cohosts Shantira Jackson and Caissie St. Onge. “Birdie told us at 10 years old and we immediately… I mean obviously, I knew that Birdie knew.”

Busy shares Birdie and daughter Cricket, 7, with her husband Marc Silverstein.

Later in the podcast, Busy also revealed that Birdie prefers using the they/them pronouns.

“I said, ‘You know, Bird, I’ve been doing a bad job with the pronouns,’” Busy recalled. “Because Birdie said that they would like their pronouns to be they/them, and I haven’t been doing it, and I said because I have this public persona and I want Birdie to be in control of their own narrative and not have to answer to anybody outside of our friends and family if they don’t want to.”

Busy continued, “Bird was like, ‘I don’t give a f—k. You can talk about how I’m gay and out; you can talk about my pronouns. That would be cool with me. That’s great.’ So I said, ‘OK, I can talk about it on the podcast.’”

“So Birdie, my out kid, prefers they/them,” Busy added. “I f—k up sometimes, but I’m trying my best at that, too.”

Busy Philipps Breaks Down on Instagram Story Over 'Parental Fail'

Busy Philipps and her family just got back from a vacation in Hawaii, but she broke down on her Instagram Story in a series of posts made overnight due to a “parental fail”

‘Guys I ended our wonderful family vacation with a total parental fail. Birdie‘s favorite bear, Radar, and her other bear Flat Bear were left,” Busy said. “I called and housekeeping haven’t found them, so I think they were really tangled up in the sheets and they just went to the place where they wash the sheets and so hopefully tomorrow they’ll find them.”

“But it doesn’t make anything better and of course all of Cricket‘s animals made it back. I feel like such an a**hole,” Busy continued. She was visibly upset and at various points in the videos and was very emotional.

“[Birdie] was just so heartbroken, and I was, like, I knew it as soon as I opened up the suitcases to get Cricket‘s stuff out for bed, I was like I didn’t see Radar and Flat Bear, I was like f**k f**k f**k,” she continued. Busy ripped apart the family’s suitcases to try and find the stuffed animals, but had no luck. Busy then revealed that one of the bears was hers as a child.

“We’re all healthy, made it back in one piece. They’re just stuffed animals. She’ll recover. She’s resilient. I don’t know if I will,” Busy added.

We hope that Radar and Flat Bear make it back to Birdie!
