Does he get embarrassed by his mother?

His mother while appearing on The Kelly Clarkson Show in 2021 talked about Kieran

They started the interview by talking about Mother's Day and Julianna said she wanted a card and coffee in bed on Mother's Day. 

She said she taught Kieran to make coffee for her at around age seven. 

However, she said she didn’t want her son to bring her the coffee he made for her and suggested people only ask their children to bring hot beverages to them after they are a bit older as young children often spill the drink. 

She said the perfect Mother's Day for her is to sit on the bed with her coffee on Mother's Day with her husband, kid, and dog.

When the host asked Julianna if she was looking forward to her son's teenage years, she said her son was in a great stage. 

She added she didn’t know anything about teenagers but said most moms don’t know why boys are so smelly. 

She further added that the smell starts happening in the feet, and the BO, and when they are home, they tell Kieran that he ranks. 

She continued saying when their hormones are going, those smells come up really fast. She also said the conversation is different with teenagers. 

Kieran was learning so much that the dinner conversation had become a different experience. 

They would get together for dinner and Kieran came up with the idea of asking each other, "What did you learn new about your day? 

Julianna found her conversation with Kieran really refreshing but said her son had not hit that I hate you phase of teenagers. 

When the host asked her if Kieran ever gets embarrassed by her, she said her son is never embarrassed by her. 

However, she often threatens him to embarrass him all the time. 

She said the only thing that embarrassed him was when he was three, they got a video of him running around the yard with his sun hat on and completely naked chasing after his grandparents' dog. 

Julianna still has that video and often threatens Kieran saying, "Just so you know, I will play that video for sure at some point at your graduation or at your wedding." 

She also shared that when they were walking in the streets in New York, she asked him if he would be embarrassed if she did something to which he replied, "Mom, no, you are wearing a mask."

She said nothing embarrassed him but the only thing that upsets him is if anyone is ever rude to people and he calls them Karen. 

Kieran once said, "Oh my god, the way the woman spoke to that taxi driver, she is such a Karen." 

Julianna didn’t know what Karen meant until Kieran explained it to her and told her, "You better not be a Karen." 

Then Julianna said the only way she could ever embarrass Kieran was by being a Karen. 

Mom Past Relationships

She had a few relationships in her past. 

Julianna dated her “ER” co-star Ron Eldard in 1991. She met him in an acting class. 

They were in a long-time relationship. They dated for more than a decade and got separated in 2003.

She also had a relationship with Matt Czuchry. 

His mother had no belief in marriage. 

Julianna gave an interview to The Kelly Clarkshow where she talked about marriage and husband. 

Kelly and Julianna both got married and had children by late. 

Kelly was 31 when she got married and her reason for marrying late was she didn’t want to waste her 20s by getting married and having a child. 

She wanted to live her life fullest and asked Julianna about her reasons for getting married late. 

Julianna got married at 41. Julianna opened up that she never portrayed marriage as a good thing and never had a great example of marriage. 

Her parents got divorced when she was 1 year old and because of that she never had good thoughts on that. 

Another reason was her narrative thought about marriage took a very long time to change and because of the relationships she had she couldn’t imagine her life with them. 

But her husband’s entry into her life changed everything. Her perspective on marriage also changed. 

She met her husband when she was 39 years old and she felt that her life was getting easy with him. 

She was enjoying her life and every moment became fun with him. 

After dating her partner for six months she felt that she was ready to get married but her husband took a year to propose to her. 

Her husband has a great family and a great upbringing and as he was six years younger than Julianna, before their marriage she once told him to find a girl and get married because she was in her 40s and she had no idea if she could give birth or not. 

Her husband told her that for him the person he loves and wants is the only thing that matters. 

After that, they got married but before their marriage, Julianna knew about her pregnancy. 

Her pregnancy was completely unexpected and she says that she got pregnant by accident. She feels lucky to have her husband and being a mother at 41.

One day when she left for Golden Globe, her son asked her to check her pocket only after she reached her car.
