Shonda Rhimes’ daughter enters Shondaland.
On Tuesday, the Emmy nominee, 54, said one of her daughters had started watching Grey’s Anatomy shares a cute photo on Instagram for the first time. While her daughter was eating a bowl of pasta, she was watching an episode of a 20-season television series on her iPad.
“My not so little man started watching @greysabc for the first time yesterday,” Rhimes wrote in her caption. “My brain is breaking. 🤯 I’m dead. DEAD. But I’m so glad she can see the women her mom made.”
Rhimes is the mother of daughters Emerson Pearl, 11, whom she adopted in 2012, 10-year-old Beckett, who she gave birth to through surrogacy in 2013, and Harper, 21, who she adopted in 2002.

Shonda Rhimes Says Her Daughter ‘Never Watched’ ‘Grey’s Anatomy’: ‘Not Interested’
Back in 2022, the producer shared an interview with WSJ magazine that her three daughters have “never watched” the ABC medical drama.
“My youngest daughters are 8 and 9, so they’re too young to watch it or even care, which is good,” Rhimes said at the time of Emerson and Beckett.
Her older daughter Harper isn’t a fan of the show either, but her friends have given her a drink or two.

“I have a 19-year-old who thinks it’s horrible that I wrote a show that all her friends have seen multiple times. And so she’s never seen it. And I have to say, I think that might be the best compliment ever,” Rhimes said.
“I think of it as if her mother wrote a show that tells all her friends what to think about love and sex. So she’s not interested in watching it and I think that’s a very good thing,” added the mother of three.
