Outlander’s Catriona Balfe discusses parenting during filming
Outlander’s Caitriona Balfe and Sophie Skelton aren’t just one of television’s best on-screen mother-and-daughter duos – they’re close friends.
In the hit Starz series, nothing, not even time, can keep the beloved characters apart, and a break from filming the show won’t separate Balfe and Skelton either.
On Wednesday, Skelton, 29, took to her Instagram to post a sweet birthday tribute to her on-screen mom and friend.
The Brianna actress posted a heartwarming black and white photo of the pair embracing while sitting at their table at the 2022 BAFTA Scotland Awards dinner.
The snap depicts the co-stars as perfect reflections of each other.
Balfe wore a white dress to the event and tied her brunette hair back into a tight updo while Skelton wore a black dress and wore her blonde hair up in a similar fashion.
Skelton captioned her post with: “Happy birthday @caitrionabalfe. Treasured real-life friend. Treasured fake mama. Love you.”
Hundreds of fans took to the comments to praise the pair and how lovely the post was, with one fan writing: “I love this photo of you two. This magnificent photo represents your complicity and your friendship. Love you both.”
Another user added: “Lovely post! Happy Birthday to a remarkable woman!” while one person said: “Such a truly beautiful picture of you both Happy Birthday Caitríona.”

In September, Balfe debuted short blonde locks on her Instagram and Skelton couldn’t contain her excitement over her on-screen mom joining the “blonde gang.”
Skelton commented on the post that showed off Balfe’s very noticeably different hair, writing: “Ohhhhh, you look beautiful! As always. Stunner ps. Welcome to the blonde gang. You be slllayyyinnng it.”

Skelton’s Brianna has deep red hair inherited from her father Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), but she is naturally a blonde.
The star has always praised her Outlander co-stars.
In June, she posted a touching photo of her embracing Balfe, Heughan, and Richard Ranking before going into the Happy Sad Confused panel.
She captioned the post with: “Pre-panel family moment. Suchhhh a great time on #happysadconfused with the absolute legend that it @joshuahorowitz (next slide please ) Thanks for having us back, Josh. Was a dream to do this in person this time around! We adore you, and you rock. To all the fans who came to watch us chat our usual banter, I think you’ll agree Josh tamed us very well. Thank you all for being there. So good to share this special time, and this epic season with you. Ep 2 coming soon! Big love x.”
The touching message comes after Balfe previously spoke about a hard moment on season seven, part two and working with an intimacy coordinator.
Moreover, Outlander’s showrunner Matthew B. Roberts shared an update about season eight.
