Hey there, let me tell you a story about Sutton Foster. When you ask her what being part of a show like Younger means to her, she gives an answer that feels so genuine and heartfelt. And honestly, it’s no surprise because the TV Land series, now in its sixth season, has been a huge part of her life. It’s more than just a job; it’s a chapter filled with significant moments that will stick with her forever.
“This show has been an incredible ride,” Sutton, who’s now 44, shared exclusively with Closer Weekly at the season 6 premiere party at Brooklyn’s William Vale Hotel. “It’s been a time of immense growth for me personally. I got married, adopted a daughter, and even bought a new house. These are the kind of milestones that shape who we are, and they’re all tied to this amazing journey on Younger.”
View this post on InstagramI am so proud to be on @youngertv – one of the greatest jobs I’ve ever had. But it also takes me away from my daughter. BUT I am proud to be a working mom and a mom who is living her dream, because that is what I want for Emily. I want her to find something that she LOVES to do and also just happens to get paid doing it. I wouldn’t be able to do what I love without an army of people to help and support me. And I am so so grateful that our nanny often braves two trains to bring Em to visit mommy on set. And thank you to the cast and crew of @youngertv who greet Ems with open arms and makeup bags to play with @eldorayestes

That’s right, folks, Sutton Foster is not only crushing it on screen but also building an incredible family off-screen.
“It’s been such an amazing experience,” Sutton continued. “I’ve had the chance to work with some truly remarkable people and learn so much along the way. Honestly, I feel like I’m still the same person at my core, but my life has changed so much over the last few years. It’s been a beautiful evolution.”
