Roan—who Stone adopted with her second husband, investigative journalist Phil Bronstein, in 2000—accompanied his mom to the amfAR Annual Cinema Against AIDS gala at the Cannes Film Festival in the South of France on July 16, clad in a navy and black tux. Stone wore a purple gown, and the two happily posed for photos on the red carpet. When Bronstein and Stone divorced in 2004 after getting married in 1998, the judge ruled that Roan should primarily live with his dad, with Stone receiving visitation rights. But Roan’s relationship with his mother is clearly close. In addition to attending numerous Hollywood events with her over the years, in 2019, the then 19-year-old filed to legally change his name to be Roan Bronstein Stone (he was born Roan Joseph Bronstein). According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Roan said: “I would like to take the surname of each of my parents.” It’s not clear when exactly the paperwork was finalized, but in April 2020, Stone referred to him as #RoanBStone on Instagram, noting she “could not be more proud” of him.

In the spring of 2020, Roan appeared on the cover of Odda magazine, a biannual fashion and culture magazine that has featured other celebrity children, like Laura Dern and Ben Harper’s son, Ellery Harper.

(Laird is on the far left and Quinn is up front.) In a 2015 interview with Closer Weekly, Stone talked about the challenges of motherhood. “Like every mom, there are just not enough hours in the day, especially when you’re a working mom,” she said, adding that she only now connects to fellow parents. “I find that it creates such an incredible meaning and such a compelling sense of intimacy and understanding that it’s hard to relate to people that don’t have children.” As her boys have grown up, Stone has been sure to have honest conversations with them about some of the darker parts of her childhood and earlier days in Hollywood. “We really talk frankly,” she said in a 2021 interview with The New Yorker. “They know everything that I’ve been through.” RELATED: See Jodie Foster and Her Wife Make a Rare Red Carpet Appearance.
