During their time apart, Beckinsale and Lily relied on technology to stay connected.

“Thank goodness for FaceTime and all that, but we’re both panicking that we’ll look really old to each other,” she joked. “My daughter’s 22 and looks 8. So she’s like, ‘I’m just worried that you’re going to think I look old.’ I’m like, ‘I’m going to look old!'”
