Smash Star Megan Hilty Says Daughter Viola, 4, Definitely Loves Singing and Does it A

June 2024 · 2 minute read

Looks like the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree — at least as far as Megan Hilty is concerned. That’s because she has a 4-year-old daughter, Viola Philomena, who is showing signs of having talents just like her famous mama.

“She definitely loves singing and is singing all the time,” the former Smash star, 38, exclusively told Closer Weekly at a luncheon with the cast and creatives behind Patsy & Loretta — out this fall. “My daughter is just very aware of what it is I do and wants to be around it all times. Like, she’s very upset she’s not here today.”

Megan said her kids — she is also mom to a 2-year-old son, Ronan Laine, with husband Brian Gallagher — both love to get their groove on too. “What they really like doing is dancing, which is something me or my husband just don’t do,” the former Wicked star revealed. “Yeah, we don’t know where that came from.”

With their 6-year wedding anniversary coming up this November, Megan said she and her husband are each other’s biggest fan. As for how they keep the spark alive, the answer is easy: quality time. That said, actually finding the time can be quite the challenge.

“We just make sure that we carve out time for ourselves,” the Tony-nominated actress noted. “It’s very hard, especially because we’re on the road and we’re working and stuff all the time and constantly trying to juggle that and the kids, but we also have to prioritize and maintain time just between the two of us.”

Don’t expect these two to be adding to their brood anytime soon either — at least not in the traditional way. “We are done having kids,” Megan said with a laugh. “We’ve talked about adopting later in life, but we are not creating any more kids.”
