Shay Mitchell Says Pretty Little Liars Costar Troian Bellisario Gives Her Parenting Advice
Gotta love women supporting women! Pretty Little Liars actress Shay Mitchell says her former costar Troian Bellisario gives her the best motherhood and parenting advice. Shay gave birth to daughter Atlas in October after 33 (!!!) hours of labor. Troian and Suits actor Patrick J. Adams had their baby, Aurora, last year.
When asked who had met little Atlas already, Shay said the only PLL girl so far was Troian. “She has been the person I’ve gone to for the most advice, obviously having a daughter of her own. But the other girls will definitely be meeting her soon,” Shay told Entertainment Tonight. “She is not only such an incredible person, but the best mom ever … So to have her give me advice is, like, more than I could ever ask for.”
Shay’s new show Dollface recently hit Hulu and, although she starred on season one, Netflix‘s You, which premieres in late December, will not feature the PLL star.
Shay recently had to hit back to mommy-shamers who thought that she attended Drake‘s birthday party too soon after giving birth.
“Apparently people are really upset that I left three days after having a kid to go out and party. It wasn’t three days and I left her with [the dog], so,” she joked, clearly unbothered by people who said she was partying “three days after birth” and that they’d lost respect for her over it.
Sadly, Shay Mitchell is not the first — and won’t be the last — mother to get mom-shamed over decisions she makes. But hopefully with the advice and help from Troian and her other mom-friends, she can feel confident in her choices when she knows they’re right for her and her family.
