How Shay Mitchell's PLL Costars Have Supported Her Motherhood Journey

As I delve into the lives of these remarkable individuals who once graced our screens as the beloved characters of “Pretty Little Liars”, I am struck by their resilience and versatility. Each one has taken their unique journey since the show ended, demonstrating that life after a hit series can be just as captivating.


Troian Bellisario isn’t keeping any motherhood secrets from Shay Mitchell.

Seven years on from the conclusion of “Pretty Little Liars”, the tight-knit relationships between the cast members have endured. Remarkably, Shay – mother to 5-year-old Atlas and 2-year-old Rome with partner Matte Babel – has spoken about how her fellow cast member has offered guidance during her journey as a mom.

37-year-old stated to People that Troian has provided a lot of helpful advice. It’s wonderful that our friendship continues to be strong and remarkable.

In her own life, Troian, aged 39, is a mother to Aurora, who is 6 years old, and Elliott, who is 3. She shares this role as a parent with her spouse, Patrick J. Adams. Interestingly, the close friendship between Shay and Troian also includes their costar Ashley Benson. Together they are mothers, with Ashley sharing an 8-month-old daughter named Aspen with her husband Brandon Davis.

The Béis founder went on, emphasizing that their friendship is destined to last a lifetime. It’s truly amazing to witness how both women have blossomed into motherhood.

Previously, Shay has shared understanding about how the actresses from ‘Pretty Little Liars’ have been supportive towards each other, especially since they’ve all become parents. In this context, Troian was a significant pillar of encouragement for the actress from ‘You’, as she too is familiar with life as a parent to two daughters.

In an interview with TopMob News in May, Shay shared, “I used to reach out frequently to Troian at the start because I was genuinely amazed by her ability to manage two kids, expressing something like, ‘Wow, how do you juggle two?’ It seemed so insane to me.” She added, “Troian is someone I’ll definitely turn to in the future since we both have two daughters.

As a devoted follower, I’m not alone in dishing out advice; even after Ashley had her first baby, Shay was there, ready with insights specifically for us girl moms.

She shared with TopMob that she needed to speak with Ash. “I receive picture messages from her occasionally. It’s amazing! I’ve always felt she would make a fantastic mother, just like Troian.

Apart from sharing parenting tips, Shay has expressed her delight in the lasting affection among the cast of Pretty Little Liars (aired from 2010-2017, featuring Lucy Hale and Janel Parrish). This affection remains strong even after the show ended.

Shay put it this way: “We spent our twenties side by side, and that was an entirely unique experience, but witnessing them as mothers has exceeded all expectations – they are truly extraordinary in their motherhood.
