Charlotte in real life: Kristin Davis adopts second child

-

Popular Amercian comedy series Sex and the City star Kristin Davis has adopted a second child, and this time, it’s a baby boy. Journalist Marc Malkin broke the news on social media, writing, “Now she’s blessed times two! Congrats!”

The 53-year-old actor is already a mom to her 7-yearold daughter, Gemma Rose, whom she adopted in 2011. The actor has previously discussed how adoption was always an option for her, just as it was for her Sex and the City character Charlotte. Incidental­ly, in the series, Charlotte , who marries a divorce lawyer, Harry, adopts a baby girl, Lily from China. The series was later made into a film, where Charlotte and Harry have a biological baby girl, whom they name Rose.

Davis, who describes adoption as a terrifying process, also opened up about her fears for her first child, who is African-American, after Donald Trump won the US presidenti­al election in November 2016.

“I’m white and I’ve lived in white privilege. Before adopting my daughter, I thought I knew that I was in white privilege, understood what that meant. But until you actually have a child, which is like your heart being outside you, and that heart happens to be in a brown body, and you have people who are actively working against your child, it’s hard. It fills me with terror,” Davis said during an interview.

I’m white and I’ve lived in white privilege. Before adopting my daughter, I thought I knew that I was in white privilege, understood what that meant.
