Rachel Bilson Shares Rare Glimpse of Daughter Briar at Olivia Rodrigo Show

by

Rachel Bilson is definitely a cool mom — just ask her daughter, Briar Rose.

On Friday, June 27th, Bilson took ten-year-old Briar Rose to watch Olivia Rodrigo‘s show at Hyde Park in London, a concert they attended together. Bilson is the parent of Briar Rose with her former partner, Hayden Christensen.

Bilson, aged 43, expressed her affection towards Olivia Rodrigo on Instagram Stories by posting a picture of her daughter with a purple bow in her hair and the caption ‘We love you’. Later, Rodrigo, who is 22 years old, also shared this post on her own Stories, accompanied by a purple heart emoji.

On Friday, Rodrigo shared the stage with The Last Dinner Party and Girl in Red before taking over as the headliner at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival.

Katie Bilson’s posts provided a unique peek into her life alongside Briar Rose for fans to enjoy. Engaged since 2008, Bilson and Christensen became parents in October 2014. It was Us Weekly who reported in September 2017 that the couple, now 44-years-old, had parted ways after a decade together.

In October 2023, Bilson disclosed that she experienced miscarriages previously. “I’ve gone through miscarriages,” Bilson shared on her “Broad Ideas” podcast episode. “So I’ve known loss.

During her delivery, Bilson recalled expressing, “I’m ready for whatever comes,” she shared with the audience, reminiscing that she had always planned on giving birth at a hospital instead of opting for a home birth.

After a few months, Bilson playfully remarked that her 9-year-old daughter at the time had put a stop to any further additions to their family.

On her podcast in December 2023, Bilson stated, ‘She’s quite insistent. It’s as if she’s saying, “No babies for you,”.’ She’s essentially telling me, ‘No baby, Mom,’ because it’s just been the two of us. Given that she’s nearly 9 years old and well-adjusted to our current setup, her objection is understandable.

Wilson Bethel, a co-star on Bilson’s show “Hart of Dixie,” initiated the discussion by playfully suggesting that introducing a baby into their dynamic could cause some stir between Bilson and her daughter.

He clarified, “It seems like moving Briar out of her comfort zone could be the appropriate approach. Imagine this scenario: she returns from school one day and we’ve brought a new child into our home.

Later on, Bilson reminisced about the time when she disclosed to Briar Rose that her cousin was adopted – a fact she apparently hadn’t shared with her earlier. “I remember thinking, ‘Didn’t she already know? Didn’t I tell her?'” Bilson explained, mimicking Briar’s reaction, “‘What the hell, Mom?'” She continued, “And I think Briar felt like everyone else knew except her. Yes, it’s such a heartwarming moment.
