Skyler Samuels and Billie Lourd haven’t worked together since Scream Queens — but they have each other’s backs when it comes to motherhood. “Billie definitely gave me some sage advice,” Samuels, 30, exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday, August 6, revealing the pair recently reconnected in Canada when she was in town to film Hallmark’s My Dreams of You. “I was very grateful for that.” Samuels called Lourd, 32, a “seasoned mom” because she has two kids under the age of 4, while she and husband Lucas Till share one baby. “One tiny person [is] chaos. Two? I'm like, seriously, ‘How are you doing this?’” a stunned Samuels said, noting that Lourd had “great” advice as an acting mom since she worked during and after both her pregnancies.

Like it's gonna be OK.’” The Hallmark actress confessed that “no one really knows what they're doing when it comes to parenting anyway,” explaining that “we're all making this up as we go.” ‘Scream Queens’ Cast: Where Are The Stars Now?

Samuels was up North to work on Hallmark’s My Dreams of You, which premieres on Saturday, August 10, while Lourd was in town for a separate movie. Samuels recalled that on one of her first days on location, she noticed Lourd’s picture on the wall of the production office. “I haven't seen or spoken to Billie in years, and I texted her and I was like, ‘Hey, I'm looking at a picture of you in a business office in Ottawa. Are you here?’” she remembered. “And she's like, ‘Oh my God, this is so crazy.
