The latest version of Cheaper by the Dozen reimagines the classic film for today's world, and follows the Baker family as they "strive to find their footing as a whole while respectively learning to embrace one another’s unique place in the household. Gabrielle Union, the film's star, sat down with EBONY correspondent Yonathan Elias to share the importance of representing various family types across media and her own experience with co-parenting in a blended family unit.
"There is this idea of what a traditional family looks like and anything else is shamed or looked down upon. But the reality is, the world has changed," said Union in the clip below.
Cheaper by the Dozen is available to stream now on Disney+.
