Connie Britton Admits She Didn’t Look in the Mirror ‘for a Year’ After Welcoming Son Yoby (Exclusive)


Connie Britton tells PEOPLE she didn't look in the mirror "for a year" after welcoming her son Yoby, now 13. The actress welcomed son Yoby through adoption in late 2011 from Ethiopia.

While attending the 50th Anniversary RTC and Stuart House Brunch in Los Angeles, Calif., on Sunday, Oct. 27, the actress, 57, opened up about how she felt as she transitioned to being a new mom after welcoming her son Yoby, now 13, through adoption in 2011 from Ethiopia. But for now, he's such a sweet boy and still loves a lot of kids' stuff, so I'm going to hold on to that for as long as I can," the proud mom shares. In May 2023, Britton spoke with PEOPLE about season 2 of the nature docuseries MAMAS, which she narrated, and said there was one animal she particularly resonated with because she's a single mom.
