Kate told the Daily Mail in a chat transcript published on Friday (January 20, 2023): “I do see it. Yeah. Sometimes I’ll send her a text and say, ‘Get yourself s face! “
“She’s like a better version. She has something that I don’t have. She looks like a gorgeous Disney animal—she has big eyes…I think it might be Dad (Michael Sheen) in this It helps a little bit – but she’s a lot like herself.”
Kate gave birth to Lily in 1999 and dated Michael, 53, from 1995 to 2003.

Kate added in an email from a party with Rita Ora, 32, after the Golden Globes on Jan. 11, how her daughter was struggling to cope with questions about her while trying to start her own career QUESTION FROM FAMOUS PARENTS: “It’s really hard to keep asking if you’d do the same job your mum does, but then there are people who say, ‘Well, do you look like her? Or do you look like your dad? ?
“You know, to me, she always looks like herself. Maybe we can say we’re the same family.
“We’re very similar in sense of humor and all that. But she’s totally herself.”
Asked if she offers career advice to her daughter, Kate said: “I feel like she has something to offer and I’m in awe and pride in whatever she does. She’s an exciting person.”
