“Babies have no self-consciousness, so they look you right in the eye and fart and have no doubt about the situation, and I really like how carefree the whole vibe is,” she continues. “It’s really nice to be there, and it reminds you that it’s a lovely quality to be authentically yourself.”

In February, Lupe married her husband Mason in a courthouse ceremony. The couple were joined by their granddaughter, Ellis, and their dog. Ellis, born in August 2024, wore a frilly white dress, and the couple’s pup even got in on the action, sporting a mini tuxedo.

“Nobody Wants This is available on @netflix today! This show carried me through my first 5 months of pregnancy with so much warmth,” she wrote in the post.

She then expressed her appreciation for “having a completely pregnant showrunner in @erinfoster, a fierce champion of motherhood in @kristenanniebell, a DP in @adrianpengcorreia who knows how to work off camera to make me look, well, not pregnant.”

On February 6, Lupe took a moment to mark six months of parenthood, while sending a sweet thank you to Mason on Instagram. Alongside a series of photos and clips of Mason, the couple and their daughter, she wrote: “SIX MONTHS in the trenches with you and my boy, my boy, baby, you are the prize. 🏆♥️.”
