Lucy Liu is embracing motherhood and the joys that come with it as she reflects on her life with her son, Rockwell, who was born via surrogate on August 27, 2015. As the actress prepares to celebrate her 57th birthday on December 2, 2025, she’s shared precious moments from their lives that highlight her journey as a dedicated mother.
Liu, known for her role in “Charlie’s Angels,” has spoken about her choice to have Rockwell through surrogacy, explaining that her busy career made it a fitting option for her. “It just seemed like the right option for me because I was working and I didn’t know when I was going to be able to stop,” she revealed in an interview back in 2016.
Recently, while promoting her holiday film “Red One,” Liu shared heartwarming stories about Rockwell’s growing awareness of her fame. During an appearance on “Live with Kelly and Mark,” she recounted a touching moment when Rockwell, seeing her on screen, hugged her and expressed how proud he was of her, bringing her to the brink of tears.
As Rockwell matures, Liu has often provided glimpses into their life in New York City and beyond. Notably, she brought him along to her Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony in 2019, marking a significant milestone as she became the second Chinese American woman to receive this honor.
In celebration of her birthday, Lucy shared rare photos of her time with Rockwell, capturing his milestones and their shared adventures. From introducing him to the world of art with visits to museums to documenting their family bond with their chocolate Labrador, Apple, Liu’s Instagram highlights the beautiful moments of motherhood.
As they continue to create lasting memories, Liu and Rockwell embody the joy and pride that come with family. Their journey is a testament to the love and resilience of a mother who juggles her career and personal life while nurturing her son’s growth.
