Watch: Kelly Rutherford and Son Hermés Make Joint Appearance for First Time in 10 Years
Spotted: Kelly Rutherford and her son Hermés Giersch.
The Gossip Girl alum was joined by the 20-year-old, who she shares with ex-husband Daniel Giersch, at the Oct. 28 premiere of The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping in London.
For the red carpet occasion, Kelly channeled Upper East Side glam in a metallic silver dress with oversized sleeves and a pleated skirt from Karen Millen. She completed the luxe look with matching heels and handbag.
Meanwhile, Hermés looked equally polished in an olive green turtleneck, black trousers and a long, checkered tweed coat by Burberry.
The rare family outing comes more than a decade after Kelly’s transatlantic custody battle over Hermés and his younger sister Helena Grace Giersch, now 17. According to the actress, she spent “every penny from Gossip Girl” on the legal proceedings, which ultimately ended in 2015 when a Monaco court ruled that the kids would remain with their dad in Europe after Daniel’s U.S. visa was revoked.
“I’m thankful to him for our beautiful children,” Kelly said of her ex in a 2013 interview with E! News, “but I think I didn’t realize you could litigate against someone like this.”
Since then, Kelly has relocated to Monaco to be closer to her children. And while the sovereign microstate is known for its billionaire residents, the 57-year-old believes it’s “the opposite of what everyone thinks it is.”

“It’s a place you can come and really just be quiet,” Kelly told Travel + Leisure in 2024. “It’s like the Hamptons in the summer versus the Hamptons in the winter.”
“I just walk the dogs, hang out with the kids, and run errands,” she added. “If there’s a gallery opening or something like that, I’ll go just to see. But it’s mostly just quiet time here for me.”
And as she told People in 2024, “It’s been really healthy for me, and really good.”
