Before her parents got married, Emerson’s mother, Hatcher was married to a man named Markus Leithold. The two did not have children and, according to Metro, they divorced just about a year after getting married.

On May 27, 1994, Emerson’s parents got married, they got married in a beautiful ceremony in the presence of their friends, family, and loved ones.

In November 1997, E! News announced the birth of the couple’s first child, a baby girl, Emerson Rose Tenney. Hatcher and Jon Tenney didn’t have any more children — together or apart — so Emerson Tenney is and has always been an only child.

She was Just six when her parents divorced

In 2003, the couple filed for divorce after nine years of marriage, citing intimacy issues as the reason. Emerson’s parents split when she was six years old. Her parents were forced to co-parent her after their divorce. Teri never remarried, but Jon married Leslie Urdang, an American film producer and theater executive, nine years later, on June 16, 2012.

Emerson Tenney’s mother, Hatcher kindly reflected on her ex-husband Jon Tenney in her 2006 book Burnt Toast: And Other Philosophies of Life. “I married a kind man who is a good father, and I am grateful for the hard-won peace we’ve now found,” she wrote. Hatcher further revealed that sometimes she felt like she had “figured out how to be a happy, successful, single mom.” However, there were other times when she felt she still had “a long way to go.” Many single parents can likely relate.

Hatcher told People that instilling “compassion and charity” in her kid was crucial. While this appears to be a simple task, Emerson’s upbringing was everything but typical. After all, she is the daughter of two celebrities. Nonetheless, Hatcher appears to have ensured that her daughter’s childhood was not extravagant.

In addition, the actress went out of her way to keep Emerson grounded. “I think when you have fortune, one of the most important things to do as a parent is to not raise a brat,” she told the journal.

The mother-daughter duo appeared on The Rachael Ray Show in 2007 and prepared their favorite Thanksgiving dinner together. Emerson may have been a child at the time, but she cut pears and mixed stuffing together as if she’d been doing it her whole life, which she probably did.

Hatcher also took Emerson Tenney to events like the opening of The Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in Disneyland when she was a young adolescent. Hatcher didn’t keep Emerson hidden, but then again, Hollywood events weren’t exactly common.

Though her parents are divorced and she is mostly seen with her mother, Emerson Tenney is still close with her dad. In a since-deleted blog post, Emerson Tenney revealed, “I’m from a divorced family, so summertime has always meant spending 21 vacation days with each parent.”

In 2016, her father, Jon Tenney shared a photo of Emerson and himself. “My daughter’s first vote! So proud! Have you done your civic duty?” he captioned the picture. In 2017, Emerson posted a photo to Instagram of her and her dad sitting with a box of half-eaten donuts. “Today, there was no line at PVDonuts … A true family weekend miracle,” she wrote.

As said earlier, Hatcher said she doesn’t want to raise a brat and she did take her words very serious.
