Julia Stiles: US star secretly became a mother for the third time

The American actress Julia Stiles (43) secretly became a mother for the third time. She announced this almost casually in a statement published on Wednesday. “I’m a bundle of emotions right now because I have a five-month-old baby and I’ve directed my first movie,” Stiles said. She had previously decided not to announce her pregnancy to the public: “I haven’t really talked about it.”

She has not yet revealed the gender or name of her third child. She previously had two sons Strummer (6) and Arlo (2) with her husband Preston Cook, whom she married in 2017. Being a mother is “great training for working as a director,” explained Stiles in an interview with the renowned newspaper.

She only finished work on her directorial debut “Wish You Were Here” in February. She always had to think ten steps ahead, which is also the case at the current moment in her life: “You have to have good time management. You have to be sensitive to people’s needs and guide them, but you also have to set limits. ” This applies both as a mother and as a filmmaker.

Nevertheless, Stiles also admitted that she is currently still in baby mode: “I hardly sleep anymore.” Nevertheless, the bottom line is that she feels great and “more energetic than ever.” The “10 Things I Hate About You” star announced the birth of her second son Arlo and also posted some photos of her baby bump beforehand. In 2022, after giving birth, she wrote on her official account: “Welcome to the world, baby Arlo! The newest addition to our family reminds me how endless love can be.”
