During the Oct. 8 episode ofThe LadyGangpodcast, the show creator, 42, revealed that she let her husband Simon Tikhman’s mother make a small cameo early on in the series.

While Tikhman’s parents have yet to see the hit Netflix rom-com, she told podcast listeners that she “put a little Easter egg of her in.”

“I’m lovable. I converted to Judaism,” the Favorite Daughter designer continued, laughing, “It’s like the ultimate way to get your in-laws to love you. And so they’re excited, and they’re having, like, a viewing party with all their friends, which is really cute.”

The 10-episode series, which began streaming on Sept. 26, follows a budding romance between newly single rabbi Noah and sex podcaster Joanne — and a slew of naysayers who claim their relationship won’t work.

The show’s concept was born in 2019 when Foster, who is the daughter of Grammy-winning producerDavid Foster, was in the midst of converting to Judaism after meeting Tikhman. The couple first met at a Los Angeles gym in 2018 and got engaged the following year.

Foster and her husband, Tikhman, went on to wed during aNew Year’s Eve celebration in 2019and welcomed their first child, a daughter, in May. And while Tikhman isn’t a rabbi and the boatload of conflict main characters Noah and Joanne encounter in the show wasn’t true for Foster and her husband, Foster has still described the series as a “love letter” to her marriage.
