Perhaps it was liquid courage, or lowered inhibitions, but either way Morgan got Burton to cancel a planned trip to France so that she could join him on the set of his 2011 horror The Resident. “I talked her into, instead of going to Paris, to come and see me in New Mexico, he recalled. “And I ruined her life and now she’s stuck with me.”
Well, not stuck, per se, but certainly committed. Because by the time they let fans in on the fact that they were a duo, they had already become a trio. True to form, initial details on their son were scarce, with Burton electing not to share his name or his March 2010 birth date because as she told the Associated Press “I want to protect them like a mama wolf should.”
But slowly the pair began opening up about the somewhat Rockwellian life they share on a working farm in Rhinebeck, N.Y., some two hours outside the city where they tend to cows and alpaca and deal with the daily happenings at the nearby candy store they share with Paul Rudd. (During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Burton also found time to spend hours sewing masks for people in need.)
