Alicia Silverstone’s son, Bear, is all grown up. The “Clueless” actress brought her 12-year-old to the Los Angeles Clippers game against the Houston Rockets on Friday, November 17 — and he nearly towered over her.
Before the match, Bear was photographed shooting hoops on the Crypto.com arena court while his famous mom looked on from the sidelines.
Bear, whom Silverstone shares with ex-husband Christopher Jarecki, wore a Clippers jersey over a hoodie sweatshirt during the rare outing.
Silverstone, 47, and Bear are big fans of the NBA, as she revealed in December 2022 that she acquired a signed jersey from Milwaukee Bucks athlete Giannis Antetokounmpo for Hanukkah.
The “Reptile” actress has raised eyebrows over the years, however, for some of her parenting choices with her only child. In July 2022, she revealed that she still sleeps in the same bed as Bear when explaining her “natural” style of raising him.
“Bear and I still sleep together,” she shared during a July 19 appearance on the Ellen Fisher Podcast at the time. “And I’ll be in trouble for saying that. But I don’t really care.”
“I’m a natural mama. And I just do what’s natural. I’m a loving mama. I believe in love, I believe in nature and our society is scared of nature and scared of love,” she continued. “If you were in any kind of wild setting where there are animals, if you put your baby over there, your baby is going to get eaten. So, it’s not ideal for the baby to be over there.”
Silverstone added that being a mom was “the most precious, most unbelievable experience in this world,” however, she believes “it’s not for everyone and anybody who doesn’t want to do it shouldn’t do it.”
Years earlier, the vegan also made headlines for sharing a video of herself pre-chewing food before discharging it directly into Bear’s mouth.
“He literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I’m eating. This video was taken about a month or 2 ago when he was a bit wobbly. Now he is grabbing my mouth to get the food,” she posted on her site, “The Kind Life,” at the time. “This website is fantastic resource for those who want to delve deeper into the world of healthy, green, eco friendly living.”
Silverstone and Jarecki split in 2018 after 13 years of marriage. The star initially wanted more kids, but once she got a divorce she decided to just put all of her energy into Bear.
“I wanted to squeeze every little moment out of him,” she explained. “It wasn’t until he was like three that I was ready to make another baby, but I didn’t have partners, so that’s why I don’t have four babies.”
