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.

BTS fans may have another reason to look forward to the 2026 FIFA World Cup after j-hope appeared to hint that the group could be working on a new song for the tournament ahead of their co-headlining halftime performance at the championship match.
During a Weverse livestream on Wednesday (July 8), the BTS member responded to a question from a fan asking whether the group was preparing a song for FIFA. Reading the comment aloud, j-hope asked, “Is BTS releasing any song for FIFA?” before pausing with a playful grin.
“Hmmm,” he replied, smiling in a way that immediately caught fans’ attention without revealing anything further.
His reaction quickly sparked speculation online. One fan wrote on X, “OH THT LIL SMILE HE HIDING SOMETHING,” after watching a clip from the livestream. Another added, “That face of his I know they are cooking something I just can’t prove it.”
Billboard has contacted the group’s label and representatives for comment.
The livestream took place on the same day FIFA confirmed that Justin Bieber would join BTS, Madonna and Shakira as a co headliner for the FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show, which will take place on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It will be the first World Cup Final to feature a halftime show of this size, with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin serving as curator for the lineup.
The halftime performances will also support FIFA’s Global Citizen Education Fund, an initiative dedicated to improving access to education and soccer opportunities for children around the world.
“The FIFA World Cup brings the world together in a way nothing else can,” Bieber said in a statement. “I’m grateful to be part of this halftime show, and even more grateful knowing it’s already helping expand access to education for children around the world.”
Although j-hope chose not to reveal any additional details about the rumored song, which would potentially join a 2026 FIFA soundtrack featuring original music from Jelly Roll, 21 Savage, Latto, The Rolling Stones, Burna Boy and others, he made it clear that he is excited for the upcoming performance. “Yeah, can’t wait!” he said.
“The World Cup is really fun these days,” he continued, explaining that fellow BTS member SUGA has been keeping everyone updated on the tournament scores before the group goes on stage. “He had to tell us, ‘Egypt is beating Argentina with a score of 2-0! Hey, we turned the tables!’ It’s making me crazy.”
As the tournament heads toward its final match, j-hope also shared which team he is supporting. “Of course, I cheered for the Korean players so much. Personally, this time, Team Norway.”
BTS will perform in New Jersey as part of their ARIRANG World Tour, which is in support of their Billboard 200 chart topping album ARIRANG. After appearing at the FIFA World Cup Final, the group will return to MetLife Stadium for two more concerts on Aug. 1 and 2.
