Warning: Do not get between Mira Sorvino and her kids.

The actress says she’d do just about anything to protect her three little ones — daughter Mattea, 5½, and sons Johnny, 4, and Holden, 15 months — with husband Christopher Backus.

“I would die for my children. I would kill for my children if someone were trying to hurt them,” the actress, who plays a mother in her new film Like Dandelion Dust, tells PEOPLE.

Take a bow!

Kingston Rossdale joins Gwen Stefani on the runway at the close of her L.A.M.B. show on Thursday evening at Lincoln Center in New York City.

Although the 4-year-old had patiently watched the show perched on Gavin Rossdale‘s lap, once mom appeared from backstage, the tot wriggled away from dad and joined Stefani onstage, where the No Doubt frontwoman took his hand.

Also taking in the show? Younger son Zuma, 2, who hung out on his nanny’s lap one row behind his proud papa.

Big Kenny’s family just got a little bigger with the addition of a new son, Dakota Jefferson Holiday Alphin, adopted by the Big & Rich singer and his wife, Christiev, in July.

“When they put Dakota in our arms, he had the most beautiful smile, and the moment Kenny started talking to him, Dakota lunged toward him,” Christiev tells PEOPLE of their now 9-month-old.

“We both looked at each other and it was like, ‘Of course he is our son.’”

Big Kenny (whose full name is Kenny Alphin), 46, and his wife already have a 4½-year-old son, Lincoln William, together and they decided to adopt domestically after unsuccessfully trying for a second child.
