maternity

Tisdale French and French are parents to daughters Jupiter and Emerson, the latter of whom began potty training in 2025.

“I prepared completely,” the actress explained exclusively we in June 2025. “I feel like you need an area, to be honest. I remember us saying, ‘Okay, the playroom is the area where you just take off your diaper and you’re like, OK. You really have to tell us when you have to go.’ Because it’s them learning how it feels to go to the bathroom.”

According to Tisdale French, she “really prepared” by fixing towels everywhere in case Emerson had an accident.

“We rolled the carpet and you know it’s going to be a little crazy for a minute,” he explained. “We tried it before (when) it might have been a little too soon (for her) and it wasn’t that easy. But when they’re ready, it’s a lot easier than expected.”

Tisdale French further emphasized that it was easy to teach Emerson how to use the toilet because his older sister was already doing the task.

“(Younger kids) just want to be like (their older siblings),” she said we “I feel like we’ve really spent the shortest amount of time crawling. I think (Emerson) crawled for maybe two weeks and then all of a sudden she’s standing and wants to walk, and it’s really early. I feel like she wants to try to walk, but I think it’s because she sees Jupiter walking all over the place. . . . She looks like she’s going to do it all fast.”

Make – And Leave – Mother’s Friends

After welcoming Jupiter in 2021, Tisdale French befriended other famous moms, including Hilary Duff, Meghan Trainor i Mandy Moore. Their connections likely fell apart after Tisdale French claimed in January 2026 that she left her “toxic” group of friends.

Still, I could feel a growing distance between me and the other members of the group, who didn’t seem to care that I wasn’t around much.”

Tisdale French did not name either mother in her essay, although Duff’s husband, Matthew But, he apparently applauded.

“A group of moms tells everything through the eyes of a dad,” Koma wrote via her Instagram stories, pretending to write a similar essay. “When you’re the deafest, most self-obsessed person on earth, other moms tend to focus on their little kids.”
