Back in 2015, the New Girl star moved into the neighborhood as she purchased a $4.7 million mansion for her growing family.

Zooey revealed her whole life had changed since becoming a mom to whimsically named Charlie Wolf, seven months and her two-year-old daughter Elsie Otter.

‘Nothing can really prepare you for it because you never again have a day where you don’t think of your kids first,’ she confessed to Us Weekly. 

‘At least for me, that’s what I think of first thing. Like, “How are the kids doing? What do they need?” That’s my first thought when I wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night. I’m always thinking of them.

‘I’ve changed completely. You don’t realize what a sort of selfish existence you live in until you have kids.’

The doting mom shares Elsie and Charlie with her husband of two years, film producer Jacob Pechenik.
