Since the launch of their Archewell Foundation in 2020, the couple has leaned into advocacy. In 2023, they debuted Parents’ Network at the Project Healthy Minds’ World Mental Health Day Festival, giving families tools to fight online harm. In a statement, the couple said, “Working with families and young people to prioritize safety online has been some of the most meaningful work of our lives.” As parents to Archie and Lilibet, the mission hits home for them.
