Wed Apr 16 13:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Actress Lake Bell on Co-Parenting, Epilepsy, and Imperfect Parenting
**New York, NY** – Actress Lake Bell opened up about the challenges and triumphs of co-parenting with her ex-husband, Scott Campbell, in a recent interview. The pair, who share two children, underwent two years of co-parenting therapy following their separation in 2020, a decision Bell credits with fostering a respectful relationship despite the difficulties. This included navigating their daughter Nova’s epilepsy diagnosis that same year, and their son Ozzi’s near-fatal birth experience. Bell describes their relationship as one built on mutual respect, forged through shared adversity.
Bell also discussed her new children’s book, “All About Brains,” inspired by Nova’s epilepsy. The book, launching April 15, 2025, aims to help children aged 4-8 understand the condition. Bell emphasizes the importance of portraying her own imperfections to her children, rejecting the unrealistic ideal of perfect parenting. She advocates for showing children the full spectrum of human emotions, from frustration and tears to joy and laughter, as a way to encourage authenticity. The interview highlights Bell’s honest and relatable approach to parenting and navigating the complexities of family life.
