Zooey and Jacob have been fairly protective of the privacy of their children. 

"They are both very involved parents [...] They have been separated for several months. They are very private and are excellent parents and love their kids so much and want this to be smooth for them," a source close to the couple previously told People. 

However, Zooey did make a few exceptions in previous media appearances, sharing some details about what the youngsters like and dislike. 

In a 2019 interview with People, Zooey opened up about the challenges she had to face as a mother once Elsie Otter developed her own sense of style — which is characterized by a deep-seated dislike of outerwear. 

"She likes to put together outfits and she has very distinct opinions on what she will or will not wear." [...] "It's very sweet to see her say 'I like this' or 'I don't like that,' and express herself in that way," Zooey told People. 

"She doesn't ever want to wear jackets. It's been an unusually cold winter in Los Angeles and it's been hard that she just will not wear a jacket. Or a sweater, she won't wear a sweater even," she added. 

However, it seems that Charlie Wolf might be the real trendsetter of the family. As a previous article by SheKnows reveals, the name, Charlie Wolf, turned out to be a real hit among celebrity parents. 

At least two couples, Lauren Conrad and William Tell, and Carly Waddell and Evan Bass, have given the name to their sons over the past few years.
