Max Greenfield, famous for his role in the show ‘Running Point’, recently shared a humorous anecdote about his daughter Lilly’s 15th birthday party. While attending the premiere of the Netflix series at The Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, the actor revealed to PEOPLE that he and his wife Tess Sanchez were not invited to Lilly’s party, despite footing the bill for the celebration. Greenfield jokingly mentioned, “We had a fun dinner for her. We had a couple dinners, but she went out with her friends. We were not invited. We paid for it, but we weren’t invited. I don’t know how that works.”

The actor, aged 45, and his wife Tess Sanchez are parents to Lilly and their nine-year-old son, Ozzie. Their family dynamic is often shared on social media, particularly on Greenfield’s TikTok account, where he and Lilly have been spotted dancing and participating in trending challenges. However, due to the recent ban on the app, Greenfield disclosed that they took a break from creating content. Despite initially being okay with the platform going away, he admitted, “I was like, ‘Alright, let’s put this to bed.’ But then it came back four hours later, and now I’m like, ‘What the f— do we do next?'”
In a previous interview with Parents magazine, Greenfield and Sanchez discussed their approach to parenting and the values they strive to instil in their children. They emphasized the importance of kindness and compassion, sharing that they are strict about how their children interact with others. Sanchez highlighted, “We are pretty relaxed about everything, except how they treat and talk to other people. The only time we ever get mad is if we see the kids being thoughtless.” Greenfield added, “We tell them that your friends, your teachers — everyone you meet — has a story, and you should be interested in it.”
Despite the light-hearted tale about Lilly’s birthday party, Greenfield expressed his interest in potentially re-engaging with TikTok in the future.
