Suki Waterhouse has spoken candidly about how she found herself crying constantly after the birth of her daughter.
The singer and actress reflected on her experience as a mother more than two years after she and her partner, actor Robert Pattinson, welcomed their baby girl in March 2024.
During an interview with The Standard published on Thursday, Suki explained that motherhood has completely shifted her outlook on life.
"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 actress, 34, shared that she was caught off guard by just how exposed and emotional she felt after giving birth to her daughter.
"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 continued, "It makes me cry now thinking about it. It was just... shocking."
The Notting Hill singer also admitted that she has never considered herself someone who cries easily, making those emotions all the 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 actor Robert, 40, have been in a relationship since 2018 and announced they were expecting their first child together toward the end of 2023.
The pair have largely kept their romance away from the spotlight and have yet to publicly share the name of their daughter.

Although Tory Lanez’s career has continued to gain momentum during his incarceration, the rapper remains caught up in several serious challenges. His efforts to overturn his conviction were recently blocked by the California Supreme Court, and he is also still coping with the consequences of being stabbed in prison. Lanez launched a $100 million lawsuit in California over the attack in April, but the case has now encountered another obstacle.
Court documents submitted on July 29 show that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, known as CDCR, believes the federal court has no authority to hear claims against the agency. According to AllHipHop, CDCR is asking the judge to permanently dismiss Lanez’s complaint, meaning his attorneys would not be allowed to revise and submit it again.
The legal action stems from the May 2025 assault on Lanez while he was serving time at California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi. Authorities claimed fellow prisoner Santino Casio used a makeshift weapon to stab the artist 16 times in the head, face, back and torso. Lanez suffered two punctured lungs and had to be flown to a Bakersfield hospital for emergency treatment. He was placed on a ventilator before eventually recovering.
Lanez later opened up about the emotional toll of the attack during an interview. “Truthfully, I’ve done my best to keep my head above water, but mentally, I’ve gone through trauma that I sometimes even struggle with,” Lanez shared.
Attorneys representing Lanez argue that prison authorities did not take proper steps to keep him safe, even though Casio reportedly had a lengthy record of violent behavior and disciplinary infractions while incarcerated. The lawsuit further claims officers were slow to intervene and did not use emergency procedures that may have reduced the severity of Lanez’s wounds.
In addition to the financial compensation being requested, Lanez’s lawyers claim officials took notebooks containing his unreleased songs and never gave them back.
CDCR argues that the federal civil rights law referenced in the lawsuit does not allow the agency to be named as a defendant. It also maintains that the Eleventh Amendment shields it from the federal and state claims included in Lanez’s complaint.
