Jordana Brewster On Her Secret In Maintaining A Successful And Happy Family

Jordana Brewster and husband Andrew Form put in effort to make their marriage work.

Brewster and Form are both family and career-oriented. Aside from maintaining their home and kids, she is an actress and he is a producer. However, despite the demands of work, they make it a point to still keep their romance alive. According to the "Fast and Furious" star, "scheduling" and "communication" are key factors in their successful marriage.

"To me, the thing that makes it sane for me is being able to plan. Like, being able to say, 'Daddy's going to come home for the weekend in two weeks,' or we FaceTime a lot," Brewster told Us Weekly. "I explain to my son what's happening … Just constant communication. I will travel with my son to New York when my husband is working. So we see each other as much as possible."

Brewster also added that when they get the chance, they always opt to have the kids with them. For her, being around with their sons and husband is more romantic than going out on a date night.

"We are [adamant about date night], but my husband, as a producer, he's on the road a lot. Recently I was like, 'Are you sure you want to take Julian with us on this trip?' He was like, 'I didn't have kids so I could leave them at home,'" the "Lethal Weapon" star said. "That's more romantic to me than going out on a date night, the fact that my husband is such a good dad."

Brewster and Form welcomed their second son, Rowan Brewster-Form, on June 9, 2016, Us Weekly reported. He was born via gestational surrogate. Her eldest son, Julian, 3, was also born of surrogacy. According to Brewster, it was not a choice, she needed it. As for the experience of having a surrogate, she "didn't feel judged" but "felt awkward."

"Recently, we were at this baby group and the teacher made the assumption 'Well, you all birthed your children' and I couldn't be like 'Well, actually…'" Brewster told Yahoo. "So sometimes I feel a little left out when other moms talk about what their birth experience was like, and I feel the loss of not having carried or having been able to carry. But luckily I keep my circle tight and close, so I never feel judged."
