Milla Jovovichand her husband, director Paul W.S. Anderson, are a proud family of five.

Together, the couple share three daughters: Ever Gabo, 17, Dashiel Edan, 9, and Osian Lark Elliot, 5.

Jovovich met her husband while working on the firstResident Evilfilm, which he directed. She’s since credited the franchise for giving her her family.

“I think that the franchise has definitely made me who I am today,” she told PEOPLE in 2016. “AndI have two kids and an amazing husbandbecause of it. I think that I’ve definitely become a stronger person through it.”

The pair’s eldest daughter, Ever, is following in her parents' footsteps and pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. However, Ever was already familiar with movie sets prior to beginning her acting career as she often tagged along with her parents to work.

“I wouldn’t let [Ever] come to set when the zombies were around ‘cause I didn’t want her to have nightmares,” Anderson said ofResident Evilduring a 2010 interview with PEOPLE. “But she’s certainly enjoyed coming around all the sets, and she’s very much growing up as a kind of movie child,” he added.

In November 2022, the actress shareda photo of herself with all three girls, writing: “5am wrap. But I managed to peel my face off the pillow after 4 hours to get all my ladies together. One pic. All in focus. I would call that a win. Units 1,2 and 3 all in sync for one moment. My eldest is even posing me to make sure my best side is highlighted. Thanks @everanderson for always having my back. Enter my happy place.”

At 16 years old, Ever has already begun to follow in her mom’s footsteps as a model and actress. She’s been featured in campaigns for the fashion brand Miu Miu, which she serves as a brand ambassador for, and has appeared on the cover ofMini Vmagazine andRe-Editionmagazine.

Ever is also known for playing young Natasha inMarvel’sBlack Widow,and portraying a younger version of Jovovich’s character, Alice, inResident Evil: The Final Chapter.

But when it comes to her daughter’s acting career, Jovovichhas mixed feelings.

“On the one hand, I’m terrified because I know how difficult this industry is,” she toldEntertainment Tonightin 2020. “And on the other hand, I’m overjoyed because I feel like my child has found their passion, and she has been very focused on it since she was 5 years old.”

As for Ever, the 17-year-old says the hardest part is paving a path of her own.

“The challenging part is having to prove myself,” Ever said during an interview withFlauntmagazine. “I feel like when your mom is an actress and your dad is a director, those are some pretty big shoes to fill. I want to work hard and make my own path so that people don’t only see me as their daughter, but also as someone who has worked for it, and that I really know what I’m doing and it wasn’t just all handed to me.”

Dashiel Edan Andersonwas bornon April 1, 2015. “We are so proud to announce the birth of Dashiel Edan Jovovich-Anderson to the world today,” Jovovich wrote on Instagram at the time. “We love you Dash!”

When the actress learned she wasexpecting again, she was initially worried about Ever’s reaction.

“I was actually worried if we had a boy, what would happen to him,” she said with a laugh. “I was like, ‘I wonder how long he will survive in our house with that little girl pushing him and sticking her foot out and tripping him!’ "

However, Ever was excited to be getting a little sister, and even more excited to help name her.

“One of them was Toilet Bowl. Bicycle Lane was another one,” Jovovich told PEOPLE of some of the name suggestions a then-6-year-old Ever came up with. She thought of more traditional names as well, and Jovovich really liked one of them. “Actually, the name that we chose, she picked,” the proud mom added. “I’m still open to suggestions, but we’ve been calling her one particular thing recently.”
