Gossip Girl's Kelly Rutherford

Aired on: September 18, 2009

There is a new pretty face hanging around the New York set of Gossip Girl this season - Kelly Rutherford's baby girl! "Everyone brings their kids, their dogs," she says, showing appreciation for the family-friendly workplace. "Everyone's been incredibly supportive."

She credits her young children with helping her stay focused this past summer, when she became the subject of rampant tabloid rumors about her divorce, including claims she set up cameras in the house and feared her ex-husband would try and take her kids from her. "There were some things that were said that were pretty amazing, but you know the important thing is that I love my kids," she says. "It's a lot and it's a painful process to go through, so I tried to just avoid looking at it all most of the time, just so I could be the mom I wanted to be."

Kelly's extending her motherly concerns to kids in Africa by promoting a partnership between Bugaboo strollers and the RED campaign. Bugaboo is donating 1 percent of their revenue to the Global Fund's AIDS programs in Africa, with a focus on the health of women and children. Kelly says one program strives to supply medicine that costs 40 cents a day to pregnant mothers. "When a woman is pregnant that has AIDS, it's normally a 40 percent chance that it will be a transmission to the child and with this medicine there's a 7 percent chance," she explains. "It's amazing!"
