Faris and Krueger live in Westchester County, just outside of New York City. In an interview with Closer Weekly, she said she really wanted to give her children a backyard.
“When I got pregnant with my third child, I realized I couldn’t stand living in NYC anymore,” she told Closer. “We wanted our kids to have a less chaotic upbringing and give them a backyard.”
They live in a 1923 colonial house with four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. The home is 2,500 square feet on a 6,000 square feet lot. Since it’s close to the city, she feels like they didn’t lose any of the convenience of city life.
“A lot of things we like to do are walkable, which is great when you have a baby who loves the stroller!” she told Closer. “I can walk to grab a coffee, visit a friend or even head to the beach, which we love. I’m also near the airports, and I never know if I’m going to have to jump on a plane at a moment’s notice!”

Krueger and Faris have three children, who are all under the age of 10. Caroline Grace turns 10 this year, while JJ is seven. Landon was born on January 7, 2014.
Shortly after returning from maternity leave after Landon’s birth, Faris did a Nightline story on the “Fit Mom” movement. She flew to Kansas City, Missouri to join other moms trying to stay fit just after giving birth.
“Over the course of the next 24 hours, we had honest conversations. Was ‘Fit Mom’ resented by the others? Were the other moms, who preach tolerance, being intolerant of ‘Fit Mom?'” Faris wrote. “In between all of this: diaper changes, screaming kids, a stray dog pick-up and planking. I’m not kidding.”
