Kelly Rutherford & Her Big Apple Boy

Doting mama Kelly Rutherford was seen leaving the set of Gossip Girl with her adorable 3-year-old son Hermés on Monday (October 26). Despite her booming career as TV’s most glamorous mom Lily Van der Woodsen, the 40-year-old single mom recently admitted to OK! that she has to work to pay the bills.

I’m a single mother with no child support. I have to work. I also happen to love what I do and think it’s a good example for kids to see their mother working. My son always says to me, ‘Mommy, why do you have to go to work?’ and I tell him, ‘I have to be able to buy the toys.’ He totally gets it.”

Kelly and estranged husband Daniel Giersch are also parents to 4-month-old Helena, who we just saw playing in the pumpkin patch with her buddy Aven Settle.
