Faulkner has previously spoken about her eldest daughter’s transition into college life. According to Daily Mail, Bella moved into Grand Canyon University in August 2025 and plans to study early childhood education, with a focus on supporting children who require additional care.

“She wants to study early childhood education, and with a specialty in children who are challenged and need extra love and support,” Faulkner said in the interview.

In the same conversation, she shared concerns about the broader environment her daughters may encounter, particularly as they grow up in an interfaith household. Faulkner identifies as a Baptist Christian, while her husband is Jewish.

“I really think it’s important for Jewish children on campuses to know that they have partners,” she said, adding that “the hate on the campus is a microcosm compared with the love that’s out there.”
