<h2>Quick Bio</h2>
<p>Now let’s talk about the Ozark actress’ only child, <strong>Bennett Armistead Schauer.</strong> She met <strong>Marc Schauer</strong> in 2004 at a film festival in Telluride, Colorado. They instantly hit it off, and have been happily married ever since.</p>
<p>In October 2007, they got engaged and exchanged vows in May 2009. Their son Bennett Schauer was born in<strong> January 2014,</strong> five years after their wedding.</p>
<p>Bennett’s father Marc is a<strong> real estate mogul.</strong> He graduated from high school, and instead of enrolling at university, he chose to pursue a career in real estate. Marc began networking his way into the industry and rose to become one of the most famous brokers.</p>
<p>Bennett Armistead Schauer lives in an environment with a lot of love and care. His mother got him later in life, and she tries to give him as much love and affection as she can. There is no personal information about his education.</p>
<h2>His Mother Kept The Pregnancy A Secret</h2>
<p>Here is an interesting fact, amid public appearances at major events and award shows, nobody suspected Linney was pregnant. She<strong> hid her pregnancy</strong> for almost nine months. The famous actress explained her decision, saying she nursed fears of losing the baby before its arrival.</p>
<p>In one interview, she explained how she wanted to make sure the newborn actually arrived before making the news public. Linney appeared in public even in her eighth month. But <strong>nobody noticed</strong> since she was wearing bump-concealing outfits.</p>

<h2>Becoming A Mother At 49</h2>
<p>As we said before, Laura didn’t become a mother until later in life. She gave birth to her son Bennett Armistead Schauer at <strong>49 years of age</strong>. Her son is the first child she has with her husband Marc Schauer. After welcoming her son, she began changing in ways she never expected.</p>
<p>For example, in one interview, she said, <em>“In the first year of being a mom, I realized there were muscles in my face that had never been used before. When looking at my son, I was smiling in a way I never had before. My face was sore all the time&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>She continued,<em> “Motherhood changes you on a cellular level. It literally infuses the cells of your body, and they behave differently. Fatigue is different. Joy is different. Fear is different. Anxiety is different. All of your emotions become more potent&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>She is also the first one to admit that balancing work and motherhood is not easy. She says,<em> “I want to be with my child all the time. But that&#8217;s not possible or realistic or particularly good for him either, for that matter. You just do the best you can&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>Nowadays, she says she is grateful for having a child.</p>
<p>And her son, Bennett, has got to experience a lot thanks to her job. Because of her job as an actress, Bennett has been able to travel to various parts of the world.</p>
<p>The only downside of having a baby later in life? The American actress admits she knows she will not be there for his adulthood, and that is why she is preparing him to succeed in life early on.</p>
<p>Speaking about waiting, the famous actress says she doesn’t regret it. Laura said she was fortunate enough to have lived a life to the utmost for nearly 50 years before welcoming her son.</p>
<h2>Is He On Social Media?</h2>
<p>Being that he is only <strong>9 years old,</strong> Bennett Armistead Schauer is not legally allowed to have a profile on any social media platform, be it Instagram or Facebook. His mother, Laura, is also raising him outside of the spotlight.</p>
<p>His face has not been made public so far on her social media posts. Laura has more than 350k followers on her Instagram profile. But she doesn’t share her son there.</p>
<h2>Net Worth</h2>
<p>We cannot talk about the net worth of a nine-year-old baby boy, right? Of course, not. What we can do is talk about the net worth of his mother. According to some sources, Laura earned <strong>$300,000 per episode</strong> of the TV show <em>Ozark.</em></p>
<p>As of July 2023, she has a net worth of more than <strong>$10 million.</strong> The net worth of Bennett’s father is not known. But given the fact that real estate moguls earn millions as well, we can say the young celebrity kid has things set up for him.</p>
