Busy Philipps Children: Meet Birdie Leigh Silverstein & Cricket Pearl Silverstein
Anyone who has seen Busy’s Instagram stories is already familiar very with her adorable family, her husband Marc Silverstein, and her two lovely daughters, 10-year-old Birdie Leigh Silverstein and five-year-old Cricket Pearl Silverstein.
The pair have previously discussed their unique choice of kid names, explaining Birdie Leigh was named after former US First Lady Lady Bird Johnson – and Cricket Pearl – because Marc thought, “everyone likes cricket – she is the coolest camp counselor, and she is hot in college.”
Busy expanded on this speaking to an American talk show, Today, saying, “Since I grew up with a nickname — Busy being short for Elizabeth — when my husband and I started to have our babies, we decided that if [we] wanted to call our kids something, we would just name them that thing that we wanted to call them.”
