Andie MacDowell Claims ‘Reverse Nepotism’ is Making Her the Coolest Mom Ever, Thanks to Margaret Qualley

Buy Me A Coffee

Andie MacDowell has officially flipped the nepotism script and turned it into a laugh-out-loud plot twist—courtesy of her daughter, Margaret Qualley, who’s out here sprinkling Golden Globe vibes and undeniable coolness like it’s confetti.

Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night (January 23), Andie, the 66-year-old queen of Four Weddings and a Funeral fame, confessed she’s riding the wave of “reverse nepotism.” What’s that, you ask? Basically, her 30-year-old daughter has boosted her cool factor to unimaginable heights. Nepo baby? Nah, try “nepo mama.”

“I’m now the thing they accuse the kids of being,” Andie declared, expertly shading the nepo baby discourse while simultaneously upgrading her mom credentials to “Certified Hip.”

But wait—there’s more! Turns out, Andie’s not just the mother of Margaret Qualley; she’s also the mother-in-law of indie music’s favorite cardigan enthusiast, Jack Antonoff. “It’s a double whammy,” she explained, clearly basking in her newfound stardom. “People send me fan mail now. I get letters from 13-year-olds telling me I’m wonderful! Thirteen-year-olds! I didn’t even know they still sent letters. What’s next? Carrier pigeons?”

Then, in peak proud-mama fashion, Andie couldn’t resist hyping Margaret’s performance in The Substance, a film where her daughter apparently threw caution, fear, and possibly a stunt double to the wind.

“The movie’s fantastic,” Andie gushed. “She takes so many chances! Like, who does that? Certainly not me—I was too busy trying to survive the ’80s with Aqua Net hair and shoulder pads. Margaret, though? She’s out here carving her own path like a trailblazer with a machete. I’m ridiculously proud.”

Andie’s mom flex doesn’t stop there. She’s also mom to son Justin, 38, and daughter Rainey, 35, whom she shares with ex-husband Paul Qualley. But, let’s be honest, Margaret and Jack are carrying the “cool” torch in this family right now—and Andie is absolutely here for it.

Moral of the story? When your kid makes you cooler than a TikTok trend, you embrace it. Reverse nepotism for the win.
