In February 2023, Gourin spoke to Newsweek about her estranged relationship with her father, confessing, “The truth is, in all of my 28 years of life, we have never had a relationship.”
Gourin explained that when she met up with the Anger Management actor, it was obvious that he didn’t seem interested in being a parent to her.
“Although I flew from New York City to Los Angeles to meet on the odd occasion as a young girl (at the behest of my mother), it was always clear that he wanted no part in my life,” Gourin recalled.
Despite this, Gourin explained she doesn’t hold anger towards him, admitting, “I hold no bitterness toward him for his decision, though it’s taken a while for me to understand it.”
