Why Gina Linetti? A Tribute to Chelsea Peretti
This caramel-colored Golden Doodle’s name wasn’t chosen at random—it’s a tribute to actress Chelsea Peretti's character from the hit show Brooklyn Nine-Nine. While technically Birdie’s dog, Gina Linetti has quickly become a family favorite. Busy joked that they’re “obviously OVER THE MOON” about Gina’s arrival, especially since the whole family is spending more time together due to quarantine measures. “As it turns out, we have some time to devote to training and bonding with Gina right now,” she added, making light of the current situation.
A Family Affair: The Philipps-Silverstein Crew
Busy and Marc, alongside their daughters Birdie and Cricket (age 6), are embracing this unexpected time together. The couple, who tied the knot back in 2007, have been using the quarantine period to create new memories with their family. Fans of Busy were quick to express their admiration for the adorable new addition. “Gah! Who doesn’t love a puppy,” one fan commented, while another added, “Omg! So precious. Love the name.” Another user chimed in, saying, “This is positivity that I needed today.”
Hours before announcing Birdie’s new role as a proud dog mom, Busy shared a playful snapshot of herself and Gina Linetti. “Just a couple of bitches in self-quarantine,” she hilariously captioned the photo, signing off with a sweet message: “Goodnight, you guys. I love you.”
Busy Philipps: The Mom Behind the Curtain
While Gina Linetti might be the star of the show, Busy revealed that her daughters don’t always see her as the “fun mom.” In an exclusive chat with Closer Weekly, she confessed, “I swear, I think they just think I’m a mom. I don’t think they really think I’m that fun. I mean, I do arts and crafts with them… I tried to do a TikTok video with Birdie, that was a disaster. That’s not for me.”

Despite the occasional hiccup, Busy remains committed to empowering her daughters to express themselves. “The one way to help empower my kids to just be who they want to be and say the things that they want to say and believe in the things that they want to believe in, is that I have to live that as well,” she explained. It’s clear that Busy practices what she preaches, ensuring her children grow up in an environment free from unrealistic expectations.
It’s no surprise that Busy is considered one of the coolest moms in Hollywood. Her ability to balance career, family, and self-expression sets a shining example for parents everywhere.
