Actress Piper Perabo recently opened up about her close relationship with stepdaughter Lilli Kay, showcasing how they support each other in the entertainment industry. Perabo, known for her roles in films like “Coyote Ugly,” and currently starring in the series “Butterfly,” spoke about her pride in watching Kay pursue her own career in Hollywood.


Perabo and Kay’s bond developed after Perabo married Stephen Kay in 2014, with Kay being Stephen’s daughter from a previous relationship. During the premiere of Perabo’s new series, “Butterfly,” she revealed her admiration for Kay’s work in the Apple TV+ show “Stick,” where Kay plays a gender nonconforming caddy alongside Owen Wilson.
Describing Kay’s performance as exceptional, Perabo expressed her pride in her stepdaughter’s achievements, highlighting the talent and dedication Kay brings to her roles. Despite their shared career paths, Perabo mentioned that she refrains from giving Kay advice, acknowledging Kay’s extensive training and skill in the industry.
The duo, as Perabo revealed, often engage in script readings and discussions about their work, showcasing a collaborative spirit in their relationship. Perabo and Kay not only support each other professionally but also share a strong personal connection that enriches their bond as stepmother and stepdaughter.
Reflecting on their journey together, Perabo recalled collaborating with co-star Daniel Dae Kim, with whom she previously worked in the 2005 film “The Cave.” Their enduring friendship and shared activism work have deepened their bond beyond the screen, leading to further collaborations like their current project, “Butterfly.”
Perabo’s enthusiasm for working with Kim again and the excitement of filming in Korea for “Butterfly” demonstrate the strong camaraderie and mutual respect between the co-stars. The series premieres exclusively on Prime Video, offering audiences a glimpse into the creative synergy of the cast, including Perabo and Kim.
As Perabo and Kay continue to navigate the entertainment industry together, their shared experiences and unwavering support for each other underscore the importance of familial bonds in Hollywood. Their story serves as a testament to the power of mutual admiration, collaboration, and respect in nurturing relationships, both on and off the screen.
