Lisa also hosted shows on the ABC Network including the “Find My Family” US version show, which she co-hosted alongside Tim Green, the series helping adopted children to reunite with their biological parents and families. As an adopted child, Lisa was able to eventually meet her biological family at the age of 30, after a thorough search. In 2016, she began hosting the “Long Lost Family” show that aired on TLC Network, alongside Chris Jacobs. In an interview about the show, she said that the journey of reuniting with biological families is very empowering, and that is what she wanted other people looking for their families to understand.
She believes that each person has a story behind their adoptive journey, and all they need to do is know the right questions to ask. In the interview, she disclosed that she had been championing for that kind of a show, as everyone needs some closure and some help to do so. Lisa feels that there are myths that still surround adoption, and they should be busted. Every adopted child should learn the story behind their situation, and decide who to call his or her family. According to Lisa, the “Long Lost Family” show is about forgiveness, empathy and hope, that people still have a chance to meet with their biological families and be able to fill that gap in their lives. It is all about second chances.
She also hosted two episodes of the show “Trading Spaces”, and apart from her hosting job, has also appeared in movies such as “I See You.com”, “The Bold and the Beautiful”, and “Next”. She also drew appreciation for commentating at the “Sexiest Bachelor in America” in the 2000 pageant. In 1998, Lisa made her debut when she secured a minor role in an episode of “Brimstone”, and then appeared in the romantic comedy movie “America’s Sweetheart”, getting a chance to act alongside big shots such as Julia Roberts and Billy Crystal.
Lisa has acted in 10 gig, but also works with the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission mentoring group, and is also part of a committee that assists in foster inclusion and school diversity.
Lisa Personal Life, Married, and Husband
Lisa is married to Jon Cryer, an actor who starred in the film “Two and a Half Men”. The couple’s engagement was disclosed on 23 January 2007 on Jay Leno’s “The Tonight Show”, subsequently tying the knot on 16th June of the same year. Lisa is the daughter-in-law of Gretchen and David Creyer. Before Cryer married Lisa, he was married to Sarah Trigger, a British actress; they married in 1999 and had a son called Charlie Austin, however, the couple divorced in 2004. Lisa is thus a stepmother to Charlie.
They later adopted a daughter, Daisy Cryer, who was born on 11 August 2009, shortly after her birth and raised the girl as their own.
Lisa lives in Los Angeles with her husband and daughter. They apparently share a beautiful relationship with their daughter, and there is no information on whether Lisa plans on having children of her own; she remains both an adoptee and adoptive parent.
