Alyson Hannigan might be a doting mom to the two daughters that she shares with husband Alexis Denisof, but the Buffy the Vampire Slayer star often decides to keep her family out of the spotlight.
However, during her latest appearance on Dancing with the Stars, both Alexis and her children, Satyana, 14, and Keeva, 11, popped up to support the actress. Alyson's family appeared during a training segment as the mom-of-two prepared to dance a Foxtrot with her professional partner Sasha Farber. For the show's Motown Week, the duo danced to Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's iconic hit 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough'.
The performance saw them finish solidly in the middle of the leaderboard, scoring a 24, achieving a straight sweep of sixes from the judges, including guest judge Michael Strahan.
In an exclusive interview with People, Alyson revealed she wanted to inspire her daughters, saying: "You shouldn't let the fear of, 'What if I'm not good enough?' hold you back. I'm doing something that terrifies me. It doesn't come naturally, but I'm going to work hard to improve every week."

Back in 2021, Alyson melted hearts when she shared the sweetest clip of her daughters returning home from school, much to the delight of the family's pet dog, making whining noises as it got fussed.

Fans were in love with the heart-warming video, with one writing: "So cute" alongside a heart emoji, while another added: "The cutest reaction!!" Another fan left a string of heart emojis as they wrote: "Oh my god. That's absolutely adorable." A different person commented: "That pup missed them so much," while another reflected: "Aww we go back Monday, my dog'll miss me too…"
