Spencer Margaret Richmond is a Los Angeles-born yoga instructor and Jaclyn Smith's daughter. She is a mother of one who prefers a laid-back approach to caring for her child.

Spencer Margaret Richmond comes from a family of actors. Her mother is known for being the Angel, Kelly Garrett, in the 1976 "Charlie's Angels" series. Her father, Anthony B. Richmond, is a producer, director, and cinematographer.

Even though her brothers also work in the movie industry and she was once married to an actor, Spencer Margaret Richmond did not catch the acting bug.

Spencer Margaret Richmond Married Her School Crush

Spencer had a crush on her husband when they were kids in school. They had attended the same elementary and high school, but after they graduated, it took years before they got together.

Her actor husband, Fran Kranz, is known for his role as Marty Mikalski in "The Cabin in the Woods," a horror comedy featuring actors like Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Jesse Williams, Richard Jenkins, and others.

When she and Fran reconnected at a party in Hollywood, they were already on different career paths. The couple started dating and married in 2015.

Spencer seems to be a private person, so her relationship with Fran never sees the spotlight, except for the rare social media posts from his Instagram account.

In January 2014, he posted a selfie of both of them and mentioned in his caption that they were in heaven. In September 2015, he posted another photo with Spencer being goofy, and two months later, he shared another picture as they went out.

However, she filed for divorce in June 2020 at the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Their divorce was finalized on February 4, 2021.

Spencer Margaret Richmond Is a Free-Spirited Mom to Her Adorable Daughter

In September 2016, Spencer became a first-time mom as she welcomed a daughter, Bea, with her then-husband Fran. Jaclyn Smith, who was waiting to become a grandmother, was excited at her grandbaby's arrival.

Even though Spencer was a first-time mother, she was not fussy about how she brought up her daughter. Unlike her mother's protective parenting style, she had a more laid-back style.

One time, when her daughter and mother played, Bea's pajamas got wet, and her mother began to fuss. Spencer told her mother not to worry. She said:

"Mom, that's gonna dry. She's enjoying herself."

Bea is always doted on by her famous grandmother. Jaclyn once said her granddaughter always visits her and knows the special drawer where to find the candies.

Jaclyn also shows off Bea on her social media pages as often as she likes. On Twitter, she shared a baby picture of Spencer's side-by-side photos of her granddaughter celebrating her bear's birthday.

On Facebook, she once revealed that she spent the weekend with Bea, and they spent their day at the Getty Museum. However, she is not the only one who shares pictures of Spencer's child.

Spencer's ex-husband would also share cute photos of their daughter on Instagram. In one picture, they were surrounded by ghost graphics from "The Haunted Mansion," while in another, she was dressed as David Bowie for Halloween.

While pregnant, Spencer inspired her mother to expand her apparel line. Jaclyn decided to add baby clothes to her line while she partnered with Kmart, and they excitedly agreed.

This led the mother-and-daughter duo to work together to create the layette collection for newborns to 12 months. The designs were exclusive to Kmart and consisted of outfits in classic and timeless colors and prints.

Before Jaclyn and Spencer finalized the looks for the collection, they created a Pinterest board to share their ideas. In the process of working as a team, they made each other better. It also allowed them to spend time together as a family.

After the collection was released in 2017, Spencer's mother admitted that she could not have done it alone. She praised her daughter's sensitive and critical eye and her sophisticated take.

In 2020, the actress said she was looking forward to working with her daughter again. She shared the information in the caption of a post that showed them twinning in animal print outfits in a photo studio as they took campaign pictures for Jaclyn's line.

The actress had paired her outfit with a leather jacket, and in the second slide, they wore matching cream trench coats. In 2021, Jaclyn shared another picture, and she wrote:

"It's always Daughter Day in our home! My girl, I love you so much, you made a million of my dreams come true."

In a 2022 post, Jaclyn posted with her husband, Brad Allen, Spencer, and Bea, in a throwback vacation picture. In the caption, she hinted that her son, Gaston Richmond, and his crew were not with them.
