Alicia Silverstone has revealed that she and her 11-year-old son, Bear, still share a bed.
The 45-year-old Clueless actress recently made an appearance on The Ellen Fisher Podcast, where she candidly discussed her life - including her vegan diet and how she raises her son.
When the subject of bedtime came up, Silverstone shared that she has always slept in the same bed with her son, Bear, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Christopher Jarecki.
"Bear and I still sleep together," she said, adding that she is simply "following nature".
“I’m a natural mama, and I’m a loving mama. I believe in love, I believe in nature and our society is scared of nature and love,” she said.
"If you were in any kind of wild setting where there are animals ... if you put your baby over there," she said, as she proceeded to point away from herself, "your baby is going to get eaten. It's not ideal for the baby to be over there."
Silverstone went on to joke that she would probably "get in trouble" with mom-shamers for admitting to it, but ultimately, “I don’t really care," she said.
Elsewhere in the chat, Silverstone said motherhood was "the most precious, most unbelievable experience in this world," and went on to say: "For me, it's so divine."
She also explained why she didn't have more children after Bear, stating that she wanted to "savor every moment" of her son's life before welcoming other kids.
"I wanted to have more [kids], but then my relationship got messed up, and it wasn't a great time to bring one in," she said. "I didn't want to have one right away because I was so in love with my Bear."
"I wanted to squeeze every little moment out of him, so it wasn't until he was like 3 that I was ready to make another baby and then I didn't have a partner, so that's why I don't have four babies."
In November 2020, the actress revealed to her followers on Instagram that Bear had decided to cut off his long hair.
"My baby's growing up. I miss his hair!!!!! Was it his decision? Yes. Did I cry inside as I watched him get it cut? Maybe … but did I try to stop him? Not for one second," she shared in an Instagram caption.
"The reason he chose to keep it for as long as he did was because he loved it so much!!!" she continued. "He just wanted to try something new. Although I have a feeling he'll find a way back to his long hair again in the future. No matter what though, I will always support my sweet, caring, and precious little boy in every decision he makes."
