The marathon of motherhood
Vikander, who has always approached her roles with profound depth and authenticity, shared that her second pregnancy was a tougher ride. "All women have such different experiences, and going through it a second time was definitely harder for me," she confessed. Yet, her preparation and physical training eased the journey, likening the nine-month stretch to running a marathon. "It's so physically demanding, and I have so much admiration for any woman who has done it," Vikander added, paying tribute to mothers everywhere.
Despite her busy schedule, including her recent work on 'Firebrand' alongside Jude Law, Vikander is mastering the art of work-life balance. "I am finding the balance between work and having a family," she shared. With a focus on projects that promise creative fulfillment and joy, Vikander is selective, ensuring she's not just making movies but making memories with her family, including her son welcomed in 2021 and her newest bundle of joy.
From miscarriage to motherhood: A journey of hope
Vikander's path to motherhood wasn't without its hurdles. She opened up about the "extreme" pain of a miscarriage before the joy of her first child. This experience, she believes, has brought a new layer of meaning to her roles and life, emphasizing the importance of family and the strength of women enduring similar struggles.
It's a love story that seems straight out of a movie—Vikander and Fassbender, two stars' paths crossing on the set of 'The Light Between Oceans,' leading to a fairy-tale wedding in Ibiza in 2017. Their journey, marked by both joy and challenges, reflects the depth of their on-screen performances and their off-screen love.
