The couple recognized the importance of dedicating more time to their loved ones, leading Harmon to step away from the spotlight.
Dawber, who had previously stepped back from acting to focus on family, supported Harmon’s choice. She had previously left her acting career to be more present for their children, emphasizing the value of family life over professional pursuits.
