She opened up to a US magazine about breastfeeding and how that affected her normal life after giving birth.

โ€œAfter we got home from the hospital, I didnโ€™t shower for a week, and then John and I were like, โ€˜Letโ€™s go out for dinner,โ€™ โ€ she says. โ€œI could last only about an hour because my boobs were exploding. When the milk first comes in, itโ€™s like a tsunami. But we went, just to prove to ourselves that we could feel normal for a second.โ€

But she also said that it has been quite a change with another child in the picture.

โ€œWhen there was just one kid, somebody would get to sit down. Now nobody gets a break,โ€ she says. โ€œBut John is the most unbelievable daddy. He prioritises Hazel so she doesnโ€™t miss me too much because Iโ€™ve been so consumed with the baby.โ€
