“As a human being, a woman, a mother, a daughter – now more than ever we must come together to fight for the soul of this nation,” the Elementary star wrote. “Let’s all wish as hard as he is for a brighter and safer future for our children and Mother Earth. I am all in for #BidenHarris2020 and their vision for an inclusive America @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris.”
Liu welcomed Rockwell via gestational surrogacy in 2015. Several months after his birth, the star reflected on her decision to turn to surrogacy.
