The pair wed back in 1997, and Maude was born the same year. The couple also have a second daughter, Iris, who was born in 2002. Growing up, Maude showed an interest in acting from a young age but was set some boundaries by her famous parents.

"When I was growing up, my parents never let me act in anything that wasn't with them. And I remember, as a kid, wanting to be on Broadway," the 24-year-old told Rolling Stone in 2020. "I really wanted to start working. And it was important to my parents that I finished high school and (was) mature enough to be able to handle myself in those situations without them."
It's not surprising then that Maude's first-ever roles were in her father's films Knocked Up, Funny People and This Is 40, starring as Leslie's onscreen daughter.

"Both Iris and Maude have gotten really mad at us for wanting them to take their time and try to have a normal life for as long as possible," he explained. "So our idea was always, 'You can work with us or with our friends, people who can protect you,' because sets are a weird place."
Maude landed her first major film role not involving her father in 2016's comedy-drama Other People, followed by roles in The House of Tomorrow and Assassination Nation. On the latter of these, she met Euphoria creator Sam Levinson who subsequently wrote the part of Lexi for her.
