Topher Grace And Ashley Hinshaw's Honest Take On Parenthood

Let’s give it up for honesty! Topher Grace, the beloved star of That '70s Show, and his wife, Ashley Hinshaw, recently opened up about the ups and downs of their first year as parents. In a candid interview with Us Weekly at the 2019 Golden Globe Awards, the couple admitted that 2018 was both "awful" and "amazing." Their journey began when they welcomed their daughter, Mabel Grace, into the world in November 2017. Now, as they step into the new year, the couple is making some adjustments to ensure they stay on top of their parenting game. At 40 years old, Topher joked about their plans for the evening, saying, “We’re doing everything. We got a babysitter tonight. We’re doing everything!” His wife, Ashley, chimed in with a playful quip, “We’re never going home. We’ll be the last people here.”

Parenting Lessons from Topher and Ashley

As any new parent knows, the first year with a baby is a whirlwind of emotions, sleepless nights, and countless diaper changes. Topher and Ashley have learned a thing or two along the way and are eager to share their wisdom with fellow parents. Their advice? “Get some sleep now,” Topher said, “and save it for then.” It’s clear that little Mabel has kept her parents on their toes, but they wouldn’t trade it for anything. Despite their busy schedule, Ashley confessed that “wine and Netflix” remain their go-to guilty pleasures. Who can blame them? Parenthood is no joke, but it’s all about finding balance.

A Night Out with the Sitter

Ashley joked about their plans with the babysitter, revealing that they try to get some rest when they have the chance. “We try to get some sleep when we have a babysitter, so we go to bed at 9,” she said with a laugh. “It’s fun stuff at the Grace household. Very exciting stuff.” Clearly, the couple is embracing the chaos and finding joy in the little moments, even if it means going to bed early after a night out. Parenting is all about flexibility, and these two seem to have mastered the art of rolling with the punches.

Marriage and Motherhood: Adjusting to New Roles

Before Mabel came along, Ashley and Topher were already navigating the waters of marriage. The couple tied the knot in 2016, and Ashley has been candid about her adjustment to being a bride and then a new wife. “It’s crazy! I mean, it’s good. It’s actually a little bit more different than I thought it would be,” she shared with Us Weekly. “Because we lived together beforehand, so I didn’t really think that anything was going to change, but it does. It feels a little extra special.” Ashley also admitted that she’s still getting used to being called “Mrs. Grace,” often looking around for Topher’s mother when someone uses the title. It’s clear that both marriage and motherhood come with their own unique challenges, but Ashley and Topher are handling it all with grace and humor.
