Whether on Instagram or in interviews, Silverstone often talks about her life with Bear.
For example, the mother-and-son duo recently enjoyed what looks like a stunning adventure trip to Costa Rica, which the Reptile actress dutifully documented on social media.

"We ask Bear where he wants to be," she explained. "But then I started to wonder if that was too much pressure. So, I checked in with him and he said, 'I love that I get to decide.' We both have different perks!"
She added, "Bear and his daddy and I flow really well together."
Happy birthday, Bear!
