Jessie Buckley has confirmed she is a mum after welcoming a baby girl ‘recently’ with her husband, who is only known as Freddie
Jessie Buckley has shared the happy news she has become a mother after giving birth to her first child earlier this year.
The 35-year-old actress and West End star kept her pregnancy under wraps until her bump was showing as she attended a red carpet event back in April.
She didn’t say when she gave birth or share any more details, such as her baby’s name, but did confirm she’d welcomed a little girl with her husband, who she also keeps out of the spotlight.
The fiercely private pair married in 2022 and he is only known as Freddie. He is reportedly a mental health professional who is based in North London. They are thought to split their time between homes in London and Norfolk.
Speaking on The New York Times Modern Love podcast, Jessie shared: “Everyone is doing great. I mean, everything is different. It’s intense, but I just love it. Love it so much.”
Though the tot is only a few months old at most, Jessie said: “I really can see her little personality starting to come through. I see this life-force in her and determination. I hope she loves life as much as I do.”
She also shared how she fell pregnant just after filming for her upcoming movie, Hamnet wrapped. In it she plays a grieving mother – which she says brought on an intense need for her to get pregnant in real life.
Hamnet tells the story of the marriage between characters Anne Hathaway, played by Jessie, and William Shakespeare, played by her co-star Paul Mescal, and the impact the death of their 11-year-old son has on their relationship – which inspired Shakespeare’s famous play, Hamlet.
Revealing how the film impacted her own personal life, Jessie said: “I’m not surprised I got pregnant a week after I finished filming because I had coaxed… it was also quite intense to have that need while I was in this place of absolute mother and it not be a real thing yet.
“There were moments where it broke my heart because I was living this altered world, where I was absolutely that. Well, just be patient…
“I think when I was filming Hamnet, I deeply wanted to become a mother myself. And it was such a gift to move through this woman and her motherhood and her love and her loss before I became a mother myself.
“I think even getting pregnant, and throughout my pregnancy, how I was thinking about what kind of birth I wanted and how I would be autonomous in choosing that as much as I could was very empowering.”
Discussing what she hoped to impart onto her little one as she grows up, Jessie added: “I think the thing I can hope to impart to her, and I’m sure she’s going to go on her whole own trajectory – and she should – is we have one life.
“There’s always going to be things in our life that are going to make us doubt or be afraid or feel like it would be safer to be smaller in some way.
“I see this little life that’s so new, but so full and so untarnished by an idea or a projection of what we’re supposed to be. I just hope that if I can pass anything onto her in the way that my mother’s has passed on to me is that all the parts of you are not too much.
“‘The world needs all of you, and that means incubating the struggles, is like living through the struggles, the shadows. The things that are going to challenge you, you have to metabolise it and incubate it. And there’s no too-muchness. It’s only to be lived fully.”
