welcomed little Sage, and their lives changed forever. Becoming a mother was especially challenging due to Collette's work.
The actress has an insane work schedule. Between 2006 and 2008, she made 8 movies, among which was the Academy Award-winning film "Little Miss Sunshine."
WORKING MOM
Since she welcomed her daughter in 2008 and her son Arlo in 2011, Collette's hectic work pace hasn't slowed down, and she admits being a working mom can be a challenge.
In order to cope with raising two children and making films and TV series non-stop, Collette admitted that she and Galafassi have occasionally hired nannies to help out.
Nevertheless, Collette and Galafassi describe themselves as hands-on-parents who spend as much time as they can with their two kids despite their demanding jobs. Collette said:
"We've had nannies from time to time, but we had kids because we wanted children and we want to be with them."
"My children are the lights of my life and I certainly can't imagine my life without them. But I can't imagine my life without acting either."

HOME TO AUSTRALIA
A grateful Collette reached out to the first responders who saved her husband's life. Fortunately, Galafassi recovered, and the near-fatal accident has drawn the couple even closer together.
The family is now established in Australia, but Collette travels frequently to the United States and to Europe to make movies and film series.
Fans can look forward to seeing her in the forthcoming Guillermo Del Toro film, "Nightmare Alley," and the new Joe Penna sci-fi movie, "Stowaway."
