Kristin Davis and her daughter Gemma (Photo: Broadimage\/Shutterstock)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nKristin was around 46 years old when she adopted her daughter Gemma in mid-2011. She chose the middle name Rose for her baby girl \u2014 the same of her on-screen daughter in\u00a0SATC<\/em> and\u00a0And Just Like That<\/em>. However, that decision wasn’t intentional on Kristin’s behalf. “I had totally forgotten that on Sex and the City<\/em> I also had a child named Rose and since I did this whole thing in secret, I didn\u2019t talk to anybody about the naming or the adopting at all and I didn\u2019t realize the connection,\u2019 she told Anderson Cooper<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in a 2012 interview<\/a>.\u00a0“Then we announced and everybody was like, ‘Oh, she named her after her Sex and the City baby.’ I didn\u2019t even consciously [realize it], not at all, not at all.\u00a0I almost named her Rose as a first name because I kept thinking it’s such a beautiful name. Isn’t it weird? I think it was lodged unconsciously.”<\/p>\nKristin herself was a child of adoption (she was adopted by her stepfather Keith Davis<\/strong>, after he married her mom Dorothy<\/strong>). So the decision to adopt her kids very meaningful to Kristin. She reflected on wanting to finally adopt a child, which ended up being Gemma, on Facebook Watch’s Red Table Talk<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in July 2019.\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t know why, and I don\u2019t know how, but it had seemed like an option for me for a very long time,\u201d she told hosts Jada Pinkett Smith<\/a> <\/strong>and Adrienne Banfield-Norris<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cThe time was ticking, and I wasn\u2019t really thinking about it, I was working. At 38, which is a little late, I feel deeply that I need to be a mother,” Kristin added.<\/p>\n![\"Kristin](\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/kristin-davis-daughter-gemma-ss-embed2.jpg?w=620&resize=620%2C887\")
Kristin Davis and her daughter Gemma Rose (Photo: Broadimage\/Shutterstock)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSince adopting Gemma, Kristin has continued to keep her daughter out of the spotlight. She did, however, talk about life as a mom-of-one back in 2013 to Haute Living<\/em><\/a>. “The greatest luxury is being home in the morning when my daughter wakes up and not have to go anywhere,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cMy ultimate favorite day is not getting out of my pajamas. I have a beautiful home, a beautiful yard, and a lot of food. If Gemma and I could just be there, I could probably go a long time without leaving.\u201d Kristin has also shared photos of her daughter<\/a> on Instagram from time to time, including when they went to see\u00a0Frozen\u00a0<\/em>on Broadway in May 2021. However, Kristin always uses emojis to block Gemma’s face.<\/p>\nWilson<\/strong><\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
