Overview

  • She describes it as routine caregiving duties that keep her present in her children’s lives.
  • Her philosophy centers on being there rather than giving advice, noting that ‘nobody listens’ to parental directives.
  • Thurman co-parents Maya, Levon and Luna with ex-partners Ethan Hawke and Arpad Busson while protecting their privacy.
  • Alongside her parenting focus, she sustains wellness through yoga, Pilates and light reading and maintains ambitions to direct films.
