Michelle Pfeiffer revealed on the SmartLess podcast that she became a grandmother in 2024. The 67-year-old actress shares two children with television writer David E. Kelley: adopted daughter Claudia and son John. She declined to specify which child made her a grandmother.
The Marvel star said she would have reduced her workload had she known about the impending arrival. Pfeiffer and Kelley previously relocated their family from Los Angeles to shield their children from public attention. The actress took a five-year break from acting to focus on raising her family.
Pfeiffer expressed surprise when rumors circulated about her retirement during that period. She explained the pause resulted from difficulties her children faced growing up under media scrutiny. The Batman Returns performer said she imposed strict filming conditions that made studios reluctant to hire her.
