Speaking about her upcoming movie “Practical Magic 2,” Sandra explained she only made the film at that time because her children were out of school. “I’m not going to sacrifice my children’s — my time — with my kids,” she added.
She joked that her kids might be happy if she were gone, but she would not be. She also said she does not do her best work if her children are struggling, need something, or require her presence, and she cannot be there to help.
“I’m raising my children, not anybody else,” Sandra continued. She added that she knows she has the luxury of making that choice in her business, while many working parents do not.
Sandra also acknowledged the grief and stress many women feel when they are at work but know they are needed at home. Still, she ended on a strong note, saying, “But guess what? Women can do it. We can do 15 things at one time and get it [sic] done.“

The Rare Outing That Had Fans Doing Double Takes
That protective, hands-on approach is part of why another rare public sighting caused such a stir. In April 2024, Page Six reported that Sandra had stepped out in Los Angeles with both Louis and Laila for a rare family outing.
Sandra, then 59, looked casually polished in a white T-shirt, jeans, a long beige coat, sunglasses, a black crossbody bag, and neutral-toned Birkenstock Boston clogs. Laila, then 11, wore a white Nike tracksuit with Air Jordan sneakers.
Louis, then 14, caught special attention because he looked so grown up. He was described as towering over his mom while wearing gray sweatpants, a black graphic hoodie, and cozy slippers.
The outing was especially notable because Sandra famously does not use social media and has kept her children out of the public eye. According to Page Six, she had last been seen out with her youngest child, Laila, in 2023, just a few months after the death of her longtime partner, Bryan Randall.
