Emmy Rossum Shares Photos of Daughter’s 1st Trip to Disneyland: ‘It Is the Happiest Place!’

A right of passage! Emmy Rossum and husband Sam Esmail had a day of family fun when they took their 19-month-old daughter to Disneyland. 

“My daughter’s first time and she agrees — it is the happiest place! So much joy with friends, family and Star Wars!!! @disneyland @disneyparks #DisneylandHolidays 🌲 #DisneylandChristmas 🌲,” Rossum, 36, wrote via Instagram Friday, December 9, alongside a carousel of images from the big outing. 

In the sweet snaps, the Shameless alum’s little one rode the “It’s a Small World” boats, met Ariel and Snow White and visited the castle with her dad, 45. For the day trip, the toddler donned a pastel blue onesie with a matching blue coat, white sneakers and pigtails while Rossum and Esmail opted to blend in with the crowd by rocking dark colored ensembles. 

The couple’s daughter wasn’t the only one to get in on the fun. The Angelyne actress shared a photo of herself standing beside a giant Christmas tree as well as a selfie smiling in front of a line of Star Wars Stormtroopers. 

Following their mini getaway, the New York native’s friends took to social media to celebrate the family’s visit to the happiest place on earth.

“YOU DID IT,” Rossum’s Crowded Room costar, Amanda Seyfried, commented under the Instagram post, while model Martha Hunt wrote, “Cuties!!”

Rossum and Esmail first met on the set of Comet in 2013 and the director proposed two years later. The duo then tied the knot in 2017 and Mystic River star used a baby bump photo to announce that she had given birth in May 2021. 

“5.24.21 On a sunny Monday morning, at 8:13AM, we welcomed our daughter into the world,” she captioned maternity shoot photos at the time.

Later that same month, Rossum posted a photo of her infant while urging her followers to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

“When I was pregnant, I got vaccinated,” the new mom wrote via Instagram. “Not only did we have a healthy, beautiful baby girl but we also just learned our daughter now has antibodies. In short, stop being an irresponsible idiot and get the vaccine.”

Ahead of her pregnancy, the Golden Globe nominee opened up about being raised by a single mother and how that affected her growing up.

“I had a single mom. I have a single mom. This isn’t a secret,” she wrote via Facebook in April 2017. “Growing up in a school — and a world — filled with mostly two parent units was difficult for me. Father’s Day still is difficult for me. I’m not really sure how to celebrate. In the weeks leading up to it, I sense it coming like a wave approaching. Sometimes I try to ignore it. … Sometimes, I take my mom to brunch and get her a present, to show her how much I value her.”

Rossum continued, “She really was both a mother and a father for me. I don’t like her to know that it still causes me pain — 30 years later — lest she feel somehow that she wasn’t enough. She was always enough. She is enough. She wasn’t perfect, no one is, but for me she was the best mom ever.”
