In June 2020, Violet’s parents said in a joint statement:

“As we enter into this new phase of our lives, our priority will remain co-parenting our children with so much love, mutual respect and friendship. And though our relationship is changing, we are committed to continuing our lives as a loving family.”

Their divorce was finalized on January 29, 2021.

As of now, Violet’s mother is dating her Sex/Life co-star Adam Demos, who actually plays her character’s on-screen love interest, Brad.

Her mother gave birth to William in a tub of water, assisted by a midwife.

Violet is a millionaire by birth

As Violet is still a child, she has yet to become financially independent.

For now, her total expenses are covered by her parents who are millionaires.

However, Violet is an heiress to her parents’ multi-million dollar net worth.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, her father, Steve, has a $2 million net worth.

Meanwhile, Violet’s mother, Sarah, has a reported net worth of $4 million.

Howey doesn’t like social media

Violet isn’t available on any social media platforms.

While there is a trend where celebrity parents create their kids’ social accounts soon after their birth, Violet’s parents tend to keep their children away from unwanted attention.

They even hide the face of their kids whenever they share photos of them.
