'I'm doing four films this year, so 2026 is shaping up to be a really exciting year creatively,' the actress shared.

'My children are always my greatest inspiration. Watching them grow, their brilliance and heartfelt natures I marvel in. They are as always the most important part of my life.'

King has two sons with her ex-husband, : James Knight (born October 2013) and Leo Thames (born July 2015). Leo is famously the godson of .

King wore a super sexy bodysuit and see-through black gown by designer Rita Ghamine showing off her amazing body, with ruby red lips and slicked back hair. She was styled by Ricardo Rojas. 

The SXSW event is close to her heart. 

Self Custody is a 'micro-feature film' by Garrett Patten starring Patten, Champion and Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo and Entourage star Adrian Grenier, presented by The Hollywood Reporter.

The film Self Custody is a micro-feature about a desperate father (played by Patten) who races against time to recover a forgotten Bitcoin fortune.

King was there to support her fellow filmmakers and friends in this exciting new genre of micro-filmmaking.

The star told Daily Mail, 'What Garrett Patten is doing with these micro-films like SELF CUSTODY is extraordinary. I really believe this format is part of the future of filmmaking, and I'm excited to work with him.'

Of being back in Austin for SXSW she shared, 'I've spent a lot of time here in Austin because of Robert Rodriguez.

'He's one of my most beloved directors. We shot both Sin City films here, and a really cool project that Robert cast George Clooney and I in, so Austin has always been a part of my creative journey.

'I was thrilled to move down here while I was filming Noah Hawley's series My Generation, so coming back always feels really nostalgic for me.'

'I love this city. It's so rich with culture and creativity, and people here are incredibly supportive of artists.'

In January King said she was 'blindsided' by her husband Austin Sosa filing for divorce.

The 46-year-old actress tied the knot with the investment banker in a secret ceremony after the pair got engaged last July but he is said to have filed paperwork to end the marriage after less than a year - much to the shock of the Hart of Dixie star.

Jaime told Us Weekly: 'I was completely blindsided by the divorce filing, which came out of nowhere.

'I was with Austin the night before it became public, and while like many marriages we had normal challenges, I genuinely believed we were working on our relationship.'

King stressed that she was 'focused' on her children James and Leo whom she has with her first husband Kyle Newman, in the wake of the divorce.

The White Chicks star added: 'This is deeply personal and should remain private, and I hope people will stop making assumptions — particularly ones that unfairly and disproportionately scrutinize women simply for doing their jobs.'
