Rachel Zoesays that raising her kids, Skyler and Kaius, is similar to working in fashion.
“Being a stylist is a lot like being a parent. You need to be patient,” she toldLos Angeles Timesin April 2014. “You need to step back and understand what’s being communicated — whether you’re dealing with a celebrity, a private client or a child.”
The designer is a mother to two sons, whom she shares with her estranged husband, entrepreneur Rodger Berman. The former couple announced they would begoing their separate waysin September 2024 but would continue to co-parent their children together.
Speaking to PEOPLE in 2021, Zoe opened up about how quarantining during the COVID-19 pandemic strengthened her relationship with her children and how the boys also grew closer while being homeschooled.
“They both just really found themselves,” she said. “That’s been the best part of this insane awful year, the quality time when normally they’re in school all day, we’re in work all day, and then we all catch up at night. I, personally, will deeply miss when they go back to school."
She added that her sons’ brotherly relationship was “so special,” and the extra time at home was “beautiful.”

Zoe and Berman welcomed their first child, Skyler Morrison Berman, on March 22, 2011.
In an interview withE! Onlinethe following month, theClimbing in Heelshost shared that she and Berman didn’t spend too much time thinking about their son’s name, though his initials have a connection to their families.
“It made a lot of sense because the ‘S’ in his name was for my great aunt and the ‘M’ in his middle name is for my grandfather and my husband’s mother,” Zoe explained.
When Skyler was 5, Zoe said he was her mini-me, sharing that he was like her in “every way.” She told PEOPLE, “Skyler is exactly me, which is why I have so much patience for it.”

Four years later, when Skyler fell 40 feet from a ski lift in Aspen, Colo., Zoe revealed he was more concerned about everyone else.
“In typical Skyler fashion, he said to me, ‘I’m so glad this was me, Mommy, and not you.’ He’s that kind of kid,” she explained. “He was honestly braver than I’ve ever been. Rodger and I were absolute catatonic messes. He was like, ‘Mommy, I’m okay.’ But as the parents, we were definitely not okay.”
As Skyler’s continued to grow, Zoe has proudly shared exciting milestones, like whenhe started middle schoolin 2023.
Amidholidaysandoutings, he’s formed a tight-knit bond with his younger brother, Kaius. Together, Zoe’s kids help her feel appreciated as she juggles work and parenthood alongside Berman.

Zoe and Berman welcomed their second child, Kaius Jagger Berman, on Dec. 22, 2013.
Within months, Kaius was trying to get on the move. “He almost skipped the walking part, so he’s walking, running,” Zoe told PEOPLE. “He is talking, little words here and there and repeating everything.”
Although she was kept on her toes, it also meant Kaius could join his older brother. “Him and Skyler are starting to play together, which is amazing. They play hide and seek, and Skyler’s been a really incredible big brother,” the designer added.
While raising her children, Zoe has learned lessons along the way, like letting go.

“I don’t sweat the small stuff anymore,” she told PEOPLE in 2015. “The things that used to eat at my insides and keep me awake at night just aren’t important. When you become a parent, your priorities shift in such a way that the right things matter.”
More recently, family and friends celebrated Kaius’ ninth birthday with a dinner in December 2022. In his “thoughtful” nature, Kaiusgave a speechto express his gratitude.
“I just wanted to saythank you to everybody,” he said. “We’re so fortunate to be sitting at this table with all these decorations, eating these delicious foods that millions of people don’t have. It’s just a real blessing, I just want to be grateful.”
Though Skyler and Kaius are nearing their teenage years, their bond is still strong. In August 2023, Zoe sharedan adorable videoof hertwo sons reunitingafter a few weeks apart from each other. The Hollywood stylist posted a montage of her children’s reunion, which kicked off with a sweet embrace at the airport.
“The last 24 hours back together after 3 1/2 weeks apart and my heart is full again 🥹❤️ 🙏🏻 👼,” Zoe wrote.
