Cheryl Hines has seven children from various relationships over the years. Six of them are stepchildren, with only her daughter Catherine Rose Young being her biological child.
Cheryl Hines was with her ex-husband, Paul Young. And the mother-daughter pair is physically and emotionally close to one another.
Here’s a look at Cheryl’s relationship with Catherine and how they’ve evolved together over the years.
Catherine Rose Young, Cheryl Hines’s daughter
Cheryl and Paul tied the knot on December 30, 2002. Catherine arrived two years later.
On March 8, 2004, Catherine was born. Cheryl and her now ex-husband filed for divorce on July 20, 2010, after her parents divorced when she was six years old.
The actress’s daughter has also tried her hand at acting. She played Baby Carl in RV in 2004 and Catherine, Lainie’s child, in The Grand in 2007.
She has not worked in show business since then.
Catherine is now preoccupied with college. She is a Southern Methodist University (SMU) student who will graduate in 2026, according to her Instagram bio.
Aside from her previous roles and being Cheryl’s daughter, the adolescent is well-known for her resemblance to her mother. Many internet outlets have pointed out the duo’s similar facial features, such as their smile and eyes.
In addition, Catherine, like her mother, has luscious blond hair.
Cheryl Hines struggled with her daughter
Catherine split her time between her father and mother following Cheryl and Paul’s divorce. And she found it difficult to control her daughter’s behavior when she was with Cheryl.
Catherine was once described as “not well-behaved at all” by her during an interview with People in 2011.
Catherine, who was seven and a half years old at the time, was a big troublemaker at home. She even described an incident that occurred just before the interview.
“She took a bath the other night, and when I came in, the bathtub was covered in my makeup,” Cheryl explained. When confronted about it, Catherine flatly denied making the mess.
Even though there were only two people in the house, she stuck to her answer.
Catherine, on the other hand, knew how to get out of difficult situations like that. “So when she misbehaves, she says something she knows will make me laugh,” admitted the actress. The joke would soften her heart, and she would immediately forgive her.
Cheryl admitted to having a problem with punishments. “The problem is, I tell Catherine how cute she is every day and how much I love her,” she joked.
Despite all of the chaos at home, Catherine’s social life was what she was most concerned about. She was worried that her little girl would be influenced by other children and lose sight of herself.
She wished for Catherine to make sound life decisions.
Catherine’s childhood bond with her father is still present. Cheryl often posts alongside her daughter.
In the posts, they can be seen having fun together, whether it’s doing yoga together, hanging out in Los Angeles on the weekends, or spending time with their extended family.
