Julia Mimi Bella Nehdar Is Lacey Chabert and David Nehdar's Only Child
Julia Mimi Bella Nehdar was born in September 2016 to her mother, actress Lacey Chabert, and father, David Nehdar. Lacey called Julia her "precious angel," and her birth was the "best day" of her life.
However, as Julia grew older, Lacey started to conceal her face to ensure privacy.
While little is known about Lacey and David's relationship timeline, Lacey revealed on Twitter in January 2014 that they tied the knot in December 2013. She referred to David as her "best friend and love of [her] life."
Spending memorable moments with Julia is important to Lacey. During the little girl's sixth birthday in 2022, the doting mom posted a sweet video tribute to her daughter on Instagram. The clip showed Julia dancing while listening to music.
In her message, Lacey reminisced about the day she gave birth to her daughter, highlighting that Julia brought happiness to the family. Alongside the social media tribute, Julia enjoyed a French Kitty-themed birthday party for her special day.
Julia's Identity Has Recently Been Concealed
Julia used to make appearances on Lacey's social media frequently. Among her notable moments were when her mom marked National Daughters' Day in 2022 with a photo from when she was a baby and when she was dressed as a unicorn for Halloween in 2019.
However, as Julia grew older, Lacey started to conceal her face to ensure privacy. In one photo uploaded in 2022, Lacey smiles with her daughter, whose face is covered with a big pink heart emoji.
The actress also posted an old photo of her and Julia sitting beside a bunny mascot. Julia looked away from the camera as Lacey noted that her daughter "refused to ever make eye contact."
Julia Is Her Mother's Radiant 'Light'
On Instagram, Lacey has recently found herself deep in reflection, pondering the swift passage of time and the reality of her daughter growing up. Lacey said:
"My daughter is the light of my life and I can't wait to get home to hug her and kiss those little cheeks exactly one million times!"
Lacey has taken on various roles onscreen, but being a mother is unmatched. Despite facing many parenting challenges, she said that taking care of Julia is her "No. 1 priority."
She candidly opened up about dealing with Julia's temper tantrums. One scenario unfolded at the airport during stroller tag checks, where Julia vehemently objected, flopping dramatically to the ground at the sight of the tag.
Lacey also recalled resorting to giving Julia a time-out for her misbehavior. However, Julia's response was far from typical—she faked a cry while Lacey wasn't looking and then burst into laughter.
Because of Julia's playful response, Lacey initiated a heart-to-heart talk with Julia, explaining the importance of listening. Unexpectedly, Julia told her she liked being timed out, adding a touch of whimsy to the challenging parenting moments.
Julia not only showed off her sassy personality, but she also openly shared her thoughts with her mother about the latter's iconic movie, "Mean Girls," which also stars Amanda Seyfried, Lindsay Lohan, and Rachel McAdams.
Lacey recounted a hilarious incident when her husband David showed their daughter some scenes from the 2004 film in which Lacey portrayed Gretchen Wieners.
Julia recognized her mother in the film and found the situation amusing, even asking if she knew her character's name. Lacey said hearing Julia speak of her character's name was "funny."
Other celebrity parents have also shared parenting anecdotes. "Friends" star Lisa Kudrow also dealt with a similar situation with her son Julian Stern Murray, who once thought his real mom was Lisa's co-star Jennifer Aniston.
