In a recent interview, Long spoke about her son saying, "I can tell you how he supports me. There are days when he's really helpful, and there are days when he's just a kid. And I want him to know how to do his own laundry, I want him to know how to take out the trash, I want him to understand accountability and responsibility, and sometimes that means allowing your kids to make mistakes where they can feel it rather than just hear you talk about it—the pitfalls, the wins and the losses."

In 2012, she had revealed that the birth of her second son made her the "happiest" she has ever been in her life. Long continued saying “It’s funny because I haven’t done a film since Mooz-Lum, so I’m very ready to get back to work. I thought that I was, when I was feeling well, and I had this surge of energy.”

@carenmax888 said, "That's why I follow you! Great values!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your beautiful family!"
