Kate Bosworth Was A Doting Stepmother Before Her Split From Michael Polish

May 2024 · 2 minute read

When Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish married, his daughter Jasper Polish was in her early teens. At the time, Bosworth was 28 years old and the "Blue Crush" star was taken back to her teenage years. "Having Jasper in my life takes me right back to being that age. It's challenging — it's a time when you're so hard on yourself, and not for a great reason, but because you haven't experienced enough to be able to understand a lot of things," she told "Los Angeles Confidential," according to E! News.

After becoming a stepmother, Bosworth realized she needed to up her parenting game. In 2020, she posted a throwback pic of her and Jasper in bed eating cereal. "Me & Jasper, 2011 ... The year I became a stepmom. It's also the year I learned to cook. I was truly intimidated by cooking for the longest time ... it felt so adult. (At 28, I still very much felt like a kid)! But when I met Jasper, I knew I had to step up for her," she wrote. Bosworth went on to say that the first dish she made for Jasper was Lemon Chicken Piccata, which is still her stepdaughter's favorite. "Of the things I've done in life, the best by far is becoming a stepmom to my favorite person on earth," the actor gushed. Bosworth officially filed for divorce from Michael in 2022, but she still lovingly considers Jasper her "kid forever."
