The actress previously gushed about what a great dad Madden is. Speaking to chat show host Jimmy Fallon, she said: “He’s like, Benj at home, being the best dad ever and running all of his businesses, and then he just gets up there [on stage] and he’s like, ‘Yeah, all right, pyro! Pfft’.

“Yeah, he makes up - he has, honestly, I’m like, ‘Why don’t we just...you need to do a kids’ album,’ because he has the best songs. They play in my head all the time because he sings them to her and she knows the words. And it’s the sweetest thing ever. It really is. It’s so ... it kills me.”
