“We have all these environments of safety where we show up as our authentic selves. I try to teach him through my own experiences how to do that, and he’s 4.”

Elsewhere in the article, Hall also admitted that she was turning part of her dressing room from Moses' nursery to a shoe room. “When things changed and he went off to day school, it was like when you go off to school and your parents change your room,” she joked.

“We got rid of his stuff, and it became the shoe room.”

The doctor said it was a boy and Hall said she “started crying.”

“I started crying because I saw all of my fashion future float [away],” she told PEOPLE at the time.“That sounds so vain, but it’s true. And my husband said, ‘I will one day tell Moses that you did that.’ I’m like, ‘No, it’s just tears! I visualize myself walking around with a little girl dressed exactly like me!'”

“Which is so funny now that I have a son,” Hall added, “and I don’t like to get into gender labels — but it’s funny now that I have a son, I could not imagine anything other than what I have.”
