In November 2022, the actress shared a photo of herself with all three girls, writing: “Wrap up at 5am. But managed to peel my face off the pillow after 4 hours to get all my ladies together. One pic. All in focus. And I’d call that a win . Units 1, 2 and 3 are all in sync for a moment. My oldest even poses for me to make sure my best side is brought out. Thank you @everanderson for always having my back. Enter my happy place.”
The admiration is also mutual. On Jovovich’s birthday in December 2022, Ever posted a touching tribute to her mom on Instagram.

As for Ever, the 16-year-old says that the hardest part is carving your own path.
“It’s difficult to prove yourself,” Ever said during an interview with to flaunt magazine. “I feel like when your mom is an actress and your dad is a director, those are pretty big shoes to fill. I want to work hard and make my own way so that people don’t just see me as their daughter, but also as someone who has worked for that, and that I really know what I’m doing and that it’s not all up to me.”
On what would have been Ever’s 15th birthday, Jovovich posted a touching tribute to his firstborn on Instagram. “I can’t tell you how proud your dad and I are of what a wonderful man you are.

When the actress found out she was pregnant again, she was initially worried about Eve’s reaction.

However, Ever was excited to have a baby sister, and even more excited to help name her.
“One of them was the toilet bowl. The bike path was another one,” Jovovich told PEOPLE about some of the name suggestions that then-6-year-old Ever came up with.

When she announced her pregnancy, Jovovich (who was 43 at the time) wrote: “After finding out I was pregnant 13 weeks ago, I had a mixture of feelings that ranged between complete joy and utter terror… Because of my age and loss in the last pregnancy, I didn’t want to get too attached to this potential baby.” She continued: “It obviously wasn’t fun and for the last few months my family and I have been living on pins and needles waiting for tons of different test results and spending most of our time in doctor’s offices. Thank God we’re all clear AND we found out we’re blessed with another girl !”
Big sister Ever was excited to announce the news of Osian’s birth herself, writing on Instagram: “Welcome to the world my new sister Osian (pronounced O-shun like body of water)!”

On February 2, 2022, Osian turned 3, and Jovovich posted a lengthy message on Instagram about the milestone. “One day about a month ago, Osian suddenly started showing this wicked sense of humor. She started being ‘in on the joke’ and with that I realized that my baby had become a full-fledged little person who could talk and ask a million questions,” she wrote . “She sees the world in her own unique, quirky and truly funny way. She is my rainbow baby, my last and final human creation. Just as sweet, loving and spectacular as her two big sisters. We love you so much, Osian Lark Elliot Jovovich- Anderson!”
