Suki Waterhouse has admitted that she cried constantly in the months following the birth of her daughter.
The singer and actress, now 34, opened up about her parenting journey two years after she and her partner, actor Robert Pattinson, welcomed their little girl in March 2024.
Speaking to The Standard in an interview published on Thursday, Suki explained that becoming a mother shifted her perception of the world.
"I think it’s made me marvel at our humanness. It’s so funny, even just your kid getting a fever, watching a little body recover from that, it’s brought me down to what it is to be alive and I really love that," she said. "It feels very survivalist and medieval in a way, especially birth, birth is medieval."
The Daisy Jones & The Six star, now 34, admitted she was taken aback by the vulnerability she experienced after her daughter arrived.
"I’m almost two and a half years in now, but when she was first born, I remember thinking that I can’t believe everybody does this and I can’t believe how vulnerable I feel," she told the publication. "I was crying all the time."
"It makes me cry now thinking about it. It was just… shocking."
The Notting Hill singer added that she isn’t typically an "emotional person," which made the experience even more surprising.
"It’s so f**king weird! I’m not a cryer! I’m so not an emotional person, I’m such a Capricorn. But being a mum just fed me up in such a sweet way," she stated. "It just absolutely broke open my heart, and I’m just madly in love and, despite my crying right now, I enjoy it so much and I’m so taken by my daughter and so in love with doing it with my partner and I just feel the preciousness of it very much."
Suki and Twilight star Robert Pattinson, 40, have been a couple since 2018 and confirmed they were expecting a child together in late 2023.
The pair, who keep their relationship largely private, have not publicly disclosed their daughter’s name.
