Busy Philipps’ and Michelle Williams’ Daughters Consider Themselves ‘Cousins’: They’re ‘Like Family’

Pinterest Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP Busy Philipps and Michelle Williams‘ friendship has spanned 15 years, since the twosome started working together on the hit teen drama Dawson’s Creek in the early 2000s. And now, that bond seems to have extended to their children. Philipps, who is currently partnering with Campbell’s new ready-to-serve, nutritious Well Yes! soups to promote the #WellYesMoment campaign, tells PEOPLE that her oldest daughter and Williams’ daughter “get along” well. “They consider each other sort of like, cousins, in a way,” says Philipps of Birdie Leigh, 8, and Matilda Rose, 11. “I feel like that’s the best representation of their relationship. They basically feel related. I mean, Michelle’s like family to me.” Want all the latest pregnancy and birth announcements, plus celebrity mom blogs?

The 37-year-old and Williams, 36, have been by each other’s sides throughout the start of awards season, as the latter is recognized for her turn in the critical-darling drama Manchester by the Sea. On Sunday, Williams shared of her longtime pal, “She’s proof that the love of your life does not have to be a man! That’s the love of my life right there.” “Anytime anyone publicly declares their love for you, I mean, I feel like that’s kind of amazing,” Philipps tells PEOPLE in response. “I’m publicly declaring my love for her back.” “We live on different coasts, and unfortunately for us, we don’t get to see each other in person all that much. But we really make an effort to reach out and to talk and to come to each other when we need support and we need someone,” adds the Freaks and Geeks alum. “And we’ve really been there for each other through a lot of different places in our lives, and we’re that much closer for it.” Philipps, who was in New York City on Tuesday for Well Yes!, has since returned to Los Angeles, where she’ll celebrate the holidays with husband Marc Silverstein and their girls. “I am really excited to celebrate at home,” she says. “The girls and I will do cookies at the end of this week so we have our cookies ready for Santa. We normally do Italian food on Christmas Eve – that’s just something my family has always done historically … It will be nice. We’re just going to be very low-key this year.” And Birdie and her younger sister Cricket Pearl, 3, are ready for Santa’s visit – and have been prepping by taking in their mom’s exquisite Elf on the Shelf displays.
