Molly Ringwald recently shared a rare photo of her teenage fraternal twins, Roman and Adele, who were seen looking all grown up in the back of a limousine. The 56-year-old actress shares son Roman and daughter Adele, both 14, with her husband Panio Gianopoulos, along with their eldest daughter Mathilda, who is 20 years old.
The candid snapshot was posted on Ringwald's Instagram account on April 6, showcasing the family spending time together in the limo. Roman was dressed in a suit, while Ringwald and Adele were both elegantly attired in gowns. Ringwald and Gianopoulos, who is seven years younger than her, exchanged vows in 2007.
In a recent interview, Ringwald revealed that her eldest child, Mathilda, was conceived in the dressing room at Studio 54. She expressed her belief that the iconic location was fitting for Mathilda's conception, given the circumstances surrounding it.
Ringwald always knew she wanted to be a mother, but conceiving a child proved to be a challenge. Mathilda was born when Ringwald was 36, and she acknowledged the pressure of the biological clock at that age. Despite her desire to have children, she found it difficult to balance motherhood with her career as an actress.
Reflecting on her experience as a mother, Ringwald admitted that the most challenging aspect was realizing that her time was no longer her own. She emphasized the importance of stability for her children and credited her husband for being a planner and providing a sense of stability in their lives.
Known for her roles in '80s teen classics like 'Pretty in Pink,' 'The Breakfast Club,' and 'Sixteen Candles,' Ringwald has expressed uncertainty about showing her old movies to her kids. Despite her past success as a teen queen, she acknowledged that her children view her simply as their mom, without any special status attached to her Hollywood career.
