Kate shares her daughter with ex Michael Sheen

While Kate was on the show to promote her own Amazon movie, Jolt, she also took the opportunity to share an update on Lily's work. 

"She did her first movie last year, she's playing Nicolas Cage's daughter," Kate said. "She's off and running. It's quite scary."

Ryan asked her if she had given her daughter any advice and she quipped: "I said, 'Be a doctor,' and then this happened."

Kate and Michael were together for seven years before they broke up in the early 2000s. While they didn't continue a romantic relationship, they've maintained an amazing friendship.

She's said of her former partner in the past: "I really love him and like him and we make each other roar with laughter."
