What Sterling K. Brown's Son Andrew Thinks of His Parents Going to the SAG Awards

It’s a date night at the 2018 Screen Actors Guild Awards for Sterling K. Brown and Ryan Michelle Bathe.

The couple attended the ceremony kid-free Sunday evening, and told E! Live that although the past year has been a whirlwind considering This Is Us‘ (and particularly Sterling’s) attention, their two sons have kept them remembering what’s really important.

“Your kids keep you grounded, right?” said Bathe, 41. “Because our 6-year-old has no idea what’s going on — today he goes, ‘Why is hair and makeup here?’ I said, ‘Well, we’re going somewhere tonight.’ ”

” ‘No you don’t, you already have the Golden Globe,’ ” she recalled of the reply she received from the couple’s older child Andrew (they also share son Amaré, 2). “[I said], ‘SAG is tonight,’ and he was like, ‘(groans).’ He literally said, ‘Another one?’ ”

Brown is nominated for outstanding performance by a male actor in a drama series for his role as Randall Pearson on This Is Us.

Brown told E! News in September that his kids were a handful, saying, “The 6-year-old is in first grade, and he’s got a lot of personality. Any time you turn the camera on to this child, he shows up.”

“He wants to be a scientist, so we’re really hoping the scientist thing happens,” Bathe added. “Because he wants to be better than Einstein. But then he goes, ‘Sexy dance, sexy dance, sexy dance.’ ”
