Falco became a first-time mother when she adopted her son, Anderson, in 2005, per Us Weekly. The star opened up about her adoption journey while appearing on “Anderson” in April 2012. “I just knew at a certain point it was time to raise kids,” she said. “At that time, I was single and the idea to adopt came to me.”
Ever since her kids were young, Falco has always been transparent with them about their adoptions. “Early on, the word adoption has been a part of my house,” she said. “I don’t know if they know that not every one of their friends is adopted. Maybe they think it’s the way everybody comes into a family.”
In that same interview, Falco recounted a time when her son asked questions about where babies come from. “My son says, ‘So then the lady has the baby in her belly, and then I [say], ‘And when the baby comes out, she gives the baby to the mommy,'” she said. “The fact that some of the ladies keep the babies for their own, we’ll get to that.”
Falco briefly talked about her son again in an April 2018 interview with “Live With Kelly and Ryan,” revealing that Anderson was 13 years old and that he was at that stage where he’d grown distant from his mom. “He’s just like, ‘Hi, mom,’ and then he goes to his room. That is our interaction,” she said, before joking, “It means I’m doing something right apparently that he hates me now.”
In February 2020, she appeared on the show again and revealed that Anderson had a growth spurt. “Anderson is taller than me. It’s really rough,” she said. “I walk down the street and see a little blond boy and I break into tears. Those little, tiny kids are just gone.”
