‘I’d be jealous but I’m too busy looking at these sweet faces and wondering how I came to be so lucky. Happy Mother’s day to the greatest person I know! I love you!’
Lynskey said the Raising Dion actor is ‘so helpful, so supportive, and he’s willing to travel with me so the family can be together.’
‘I do the same for him, but I’ve been working a lot recently, so he’s been making the sacrifice more often than I have,’ the Don’t Look Up actress admitted to People last Friday.
‘On the weekends, it’s just me and him. But when I’m away on location, we’ll have our amazing nanny come to work with us, and she’s my daughter’s favorite person. When I’m working, I have the support.’

‘I just felt like I knew her, and parts of me were parts of her,’ Melanie told EW on Monday.
‘You’re living in this feeling and it can sometimes feel slightly repetitive, but that’s what depression also feels like.’
Lynskey ‘can’t wait to see’ HBO Max’s rival production Love and Death, which cast Lily Rabe as Betty Gore and Elizabeth Olsen as Candy Montgomery.
The Heavenly Creatures alum will also reprise her role as stay-at-home mom Shauna when the second season of Showtime’s critically-acclaimed drama Yellowjackets begins production in late summer.
