The actress is in the midst of filming season seven of Netflix’s beloved romantic drama, where she shines as Mel Monroe alongside Martin Henderson’s Jack Sheridan.
To the joy of millions of fans, production for the seventh season kicked off last month in Vancouver, promising more enthralling escapades in the picturesque town.
In a recent Instagram update, Breckenridge posted a video with the playful tag “#bringyourdaughtertoworkday”.
“So, I did a crazy thing over the weekend,” she began, recounting to her fans. “And I wrapped at work at like 12:30 on Friday, and I didn’t get to bed until 1 because we were shooting way far out in the middle of nowhere.”
She teased her audience with snippets about the upcoming season’s filming before sharing a touching story about her time with her daughter, Billie.
“[I] woke up at 5, got on a plane, went home, got my daughter,” she narrated. “Repacked suff Sunday, spent time with the family then brought my daughter back with me to Vancouver to film.”
She saw it as an incredible opportunity for some mother-daughter bonding, despite her busy schedule.
“I worked today, just one scene, and I work all day tomorrow. So I was trying to explain to her, like, what 13 pages of dialogue means in terms of, mommy has to do her ‘homework’ for her job,” she chuckled, mimicking quotation marks with her fingers.
“And she was looking at me like, ‘You have to remember all that?’ And I was like, ‘I know! It’s crazy! Crazy’.”
Breckenridge and her husband, musician Casey Hooper, have two children together; son Jack, born in 2016, and daughter Billie, born in 2017.
Despite being based in Los Angeles and Vancouver for work, the couple chose to raise their family in a more rural setting in Georgia.
Billie, her daughter, had the chance of a lifetime when she was flown thousands of miles to experience a TV set firsthand. Fans praise Breckenridge’s parenting in the comments.
One fan wrote: “Bless. I can only imagine how tough it must be to balance personal and professional life when you’re away from loved ones for so long and working such long hours.
“Glad you get to spend time with mini you despite a crazy schedule and all your homework! Enjoy the preciousness of the moment.”
Another fan shared: “This is so special, I have so many great memories of my mom taking me to work with her!
“Traveling to another country to be with your mom while she films her (super cool and big) show will definitely be a memory Billie will cherish in the future. She’s so lucky to have a mama like you!”
Someone else commented: “Awww….Alex what a wonderful and beautiful memory for both you and your little girl!
“So much fun to spend some girl time together, and I’m sure your daughter loved every minute of it!”
Another fan praised the mindful approach, saying: “I think it’s great when you can be mindful of the time you have with your daughter.
“It’s such a precious time before they become teenagers and you have to beg them to hang out with you. Cherish this time because they grow up so fast so make sure you enjoy every second.”
A final fan chimed in: “Such great memories for your daughter! I used to love going to work with my mom.”
