The Actress Who Played Curly Sue Grew Up To Be Gorgeous

One of Porter's most important jobs is being a mom to her two children, Mason and Aria. She had been a stay-at-home mom for some time before auditioning for The Voice, so naturally, there was a bit of upheaval when she went off for competition. "I have a really strong connection with both of my kids, and it's definitely difficult to leave them and go to work," she shared in an interview with People magazine. 

But Porter knew it was important to make the sacrifices needed to follow her dreams. "I always felt like it was important for me, as a mom, to show my kids what it means to have a passion and have drive for it and follow it and fully pursue it to the ends of the earth, which I have," she continued. Clearly it paid off in the end! Sadly, her marriage to Brian Autenrieth, the father of her children, ended in March of 2017, which Porter revealed in a Tweet. Fortunately, however, they remain committed to being the best parents to their children as they can.
