“She's amazing, phenomenal,” Victoria told HELLO! “She's living with her best friend Violet, who she grew up with in Los Angeles. Aged 12, Evie would say: 'Violet, one day you're going to go to Trinity College to be a writer and I'm going to go to art school, and we're going to live together in a house in Dublin.' And guess what? They are doing it. I am so grateful and proud.
She shared: “My job as her mum was to remind her that she was not victim of any of this. We all have our thing and this is rubbish, but it will not stop you. I think there's nothing in the world I couldn't say to her and nothing in the world she couldn't say to me. And the same goes for my other two kids.”
She shared that their wedding was filled with love and laughter, adding: “I walked down the aisle to a beautiful Waterboys song”.
