She said: "Kurt and I are so proud. They're mirroring a lot of the way they were raised, and that just shows you how important it is to raise your kids well, 'cause they will raise their kids well."

The actress loves nothing more than spending time with her family, and previously told Australian Women's Weekly: "A good family is the answer to happiness.
