Lucy Liu, best known for her roles in Charlie’s Angels and Elementary, occasionally shares special moments with her son, Rockwell Lloyd Liu. Rockwell was born through surrogacy on August 27 via a surrogate, marking a joyful milestone in Liu’s life as a mother.
Liu chose surrogacy because her busy career did not allow for a clear break from work, stating, “It just seemed like the right option for me because I was working and I didn’t know when I was going to be able to stop.” Over the years, she has offered rare glimpses into Rockwell’s growth and their close relationship.
Early Moments and Family Life
When Rockwell was born, Liu introduced him to the public with a heartfelt Instagram post, calling him “the new little man in my life.” She nurtured his appreciation for the arts early on by taking him to the Whitney Museum of American Art. Rockwell also enjoys moments with their family dog, Apple, a chocolate Labrador described as gentle and protective around him.
Cherished Milestones and Public Appearances
One memorable occasion was in May when Rockwell attended his mother’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony. Liu became the second Chinese American woman to receive the honor, supported proudly by her son. Rockwell’s pride was evident when he saw his mother in the holiday film Red One, as Liu recalled him hugging her arm and expressing how proud he was, a moment she described as almost tear-inducing.
Cultural Traditions and Growing Up
Liu keeps her son connected to their heritage, dressing him in traditional Chinese New Year attire to celebrate the Year of the Ox. In May, Rockwell accompanied Liu to a White House event honoring Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, where he witnessed his mother introduce President Joe Biden—a unique experience highlighting their close bond.
Lucy Liu’s social media occasionally reveals precious snapshots of Rockwell’s milestones, such as losing baby teeth or sharing quiet moments at home. These rare photos offer a window into the family’s private life, demonstrating the deep love and admiration Liu has for her son.
