Jenna Elfman is making her return to prime time television in the CBS sitcom, Accidentally On Purpose. I’ve missed her since Dharma & Greg so I will be glad to see her back! Recently Jenna did an interview with Parade magazine and she talked about her marriage with Bodhi Elfman, and son, Story, 2. Here are the highlights:
On choosing her son, Story’s unique name: “We had the name before we had the baby. My husband just turned to me one night and said, ‘Story Elias Elfman,’ and I said, ‘Done—there’s nothing better than a great story.’”
On having more children: “We’re taking our time, but we’re definitely going to have another kid for sure.”
On their household: “It’s not like my husband and I are shy, quiet types. And Story is fearless—he’ll do flips over my body like I’m a human jungle gym. There’s always a lot of laughter, music playing, lots of screaming and drumming and chasing each other around the house. We have a very happy, adventurous household. It’s awesome, and I’m proud of it. It’s alive in here.”
On how she wants to raise Story: “I was raised as a dancer, so I’ve always been very active with my body. And I’ve found that being confident with your body is a very beneficial thing to living a healthy life. That’s why I want Story to have that, too.”
On the first time she met Bodhi at an audition for a Sprite commercial: “My husband’s quite funny, and he made me laugh. At the wardrobe fitting, I was so excited to see him, and I just got this overwhelming sense of joy and comfort and familiarity. To this day, 18 years later, I have the same reaction—most of the time.”
