"And I failed publicly and it's actually what makes me, I feel like, my superpower." "I feel brave because you can come out of something," she added. "We need to teach kids that they can come out of things." The mom of three has been candid about her journey to motherhood over the years, admitting that "logistics can be difficult" now with three children. However, the proud mom devotes her time to "making sure that each child has the love that I know I feel for them." Overall, expanding her family has brought her more joy than ever.

Three years later, the duo welcomed daughter Georgette, completing their family of four. McCarthy opened up to PEOPLE about her family life at home in February 2020. 'It's not the most serious household,' she said. 'There's a lot of serious stuff happening in the world, and we don't have to have it in the house.' She noted that people are always 'yelling' and 'coming in and out' of their house. 'Our youngest is constantly on some kind of wheeled thing ripping through the house, and I just kind of love it,' she added of Georgette. Now that the girls are teenagers, McCarthy couldn't be prouder of the young women they've become. "Watching them navigate a world that's so much more complicated and so much harder. And to do it with such grace and love and care and such empathy for other people," she said during her April 2023 cover story for PEOPLE. "Boy, you don't want to mess with those two if you're doing wrong to good people, they stand up for themselves. And I learn from that every single day." The Little Mermaid actress also discussed the prospect of her daughters eventually leaving the nest, but admitted that she doesn't even allow herself to think about it. "Nope, because it's never going to happen," she said jokingly. "One of my daughters was talking about maybe going to school in Scotland. And literally Ben's like, 'Your lip's twitching.'"
