Angela Bassett on raising twins with Courtney B. Vance: ‘Mom is a good time’
Read Time:1 Minute, 2 Second
There are always funny parents, right? In the Bassett/Vance household, Mom is the “fun” one – at least according to her Angela Bassett myself
“He’s the definition of a helicopter parent,” Bassett explains of her husband, actor Courtney B. Vance, in her 2022 Woman of the Year profile for Glamour. Bassett and Vance married in 1997 and had 16-year-old twins Bronwyn and Slater in 2006.
“I always told them, ‘I’m your good time.’ Mom your good time. Because Dad is your helicopter,” adds Bassett. While Black Panther star didn’t elaborate on what “good time” with mom looks like, it’s not hard to imagine, oh, I don’t know, Marvel movie premieres on the red carpet, maybe?

“They’re wonderful young people, in general, very kind, very thoughtful, very appreciative,” Bassett said of her children. But just because they’re celebrity kids doesn’t mean they haven’t had to work as hard as the next 18-month-old. According to Bassett, Slater and Bronwyn made their own bed in just a year and a half – longer than most 18-year-olds perform on a daily basis.
