Suki Waterhouse has revealed that she cried “all the time” after welcoming her daughter.
The singer and actress has opened up about her motherhood journey two years after she and her partner, actor Robert Pattinson, welcomed their daughter in March 2024.
Speaking to The Standard in an interview published on Thursday, Suki shared that becoming a mother changed the way she viewed 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, 34, admitted she was surprised by the vulnerability she experienced after her daughter was born.
“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.”
Suki added, “It makes me cry now thinking about it. It was just… shocking.”
The Notting Hill singer went on to note she is not usually an “emotional person”, so the experience was even more unexpected.
“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, 40, have been dating since 2018 and confirmed they were expecting a child together in late 2023.
The couple, who keep their relationship largely private, have not publicly revealed their daughter’s name.
