During a 2023 telethon to raise money to fight anti-LGBTQ legislation, Harden opened up about her children’s identity and pride in them.

“All my children are queer,” said the actress. “My oldest child is non-binary. My son is gay. My youngest is fluid. And you know, they are my children and they teach me every day.”

In February 2024, Harden told PEOPLE that she was trying to find balance in her parenting.

“You’d have to ask them what I’m like as a parent. Everyone will say something different. Back in the day they would say ‘strictly’. Everyone would say ‘practically’ and they wouldn’t be wrong,” she said. “I want to be involved in their life.”
