"American Housewife" Katy Mixon On Motherhood IRL and On TV

As Katie Otto on ABC’s American Housewife, Katy Mixon epitomizes how to maybe not talk to your kids.  While the show was initially met with criticism from some parenting groups for Katie’s irreverent parenting skills, the series quickly made it apparent that for all her bravado, deep down Katie is really just a caring mom at heart.  Going into the series' second season, things changed for Mixon. The actress became a new mother in real life, and one with a totally different view on child rearing than that of her character.  “It's one of the most miraculous things I've been in the midst of,” she said of motherhood during a recent exclusive interview.  “My fiancé [Breaux Greer] and I are beside ourselves. It's wild and I'm so humbled.”
