5. Wolfson’s Family Joined Her in Arizona For the NCAA Championship

Wolfson, who has “Family First!” in her Twitter bio, told her fans on Instagram that her family is in Glendale, Arizona with her for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship game between Gonzaga and the University of North Carolina.

“I can’t tell you what a morning is like when I’m on the road,” Wolfson told the Jewish Standard. “It is 5 a.m., I’m in San Francisco, and I check in with my sons, I check in to school. I have a great nanny who lives with us — I couldn’t do it otherwise — and it is constant texting with all my friends. ‘Can you pick my son up?’ ‘Who needs a play date?’ ‘Who’s going to the birthday party?’ It’s constant.”
