Suki Waterhouse is raising her baby through Reddit advice!
Recently, the singer and actress appeared on SiriusXM’s Ben +1 show and revealed that she has been hacking some parenting skills from an unusual online source. The 32-year-old new mom, who shares her baby with Robert Pattinson, revealed that although she and her fiancee Pattinson did not look through many parenting books, she did find Reddit to be a reliable source of parenting information.
Waterhouse and Pattinson welcomed their first child in March earlier this year.
She revealed, “I wasn’t really leaving the house very much by the end. You know, I didn’t really want to be out and about,” before adding, “There was something really, I found really wonderful about that limitation and just like preparing for something, preparing for this complete unknown. I had no idea what to expect. I did not read any bloody books.”
When asked if she now regrets not having the entire process planned to the T, Waterhouse replied that she did not give it much thought. The ‘Love, Rosie’ actress revealed, “No, not really. I mean, I don’t know. Even when I kind of…I mean, Google is a great thing, isn’t it?” She further continued about the source, “Okay, but Reddit when you have kids, it’s like…” before adding, “Reddit in life. Reddit after everything, right? But yeah. That was probably where I’m gonna learn everything on how to raise my child is Reddit.”
The ‘Daisy Jones & The Six’ actress recently appeared on The Run-Through with Vogue podcast and revealed details about her newest magazine issue which featured her and Pattinson’s baby daughter. Waterhouse commented on how she felt like she was in denial while performing for Coachella right after giving birth. She shared, “I got offered Coachella a long time before I got pregnant. And then when I found out I got pregnant, I remember counting up the months, and I was like, ‘Oh no. Oh no,’ ”
The ‘Persuasion’ actress further noted that although she put in a lot of practice before her Coachella performance, she did not put in the same effort for her baby to arrive. She recounted the situation, “We were both actually just like, let’s just be surprised. Let’s just see what it’s like, and let’s be surprised by the whole thing,” before adding, “But those first two weeks were absolutely insane. You spend so much time just imagining what it’s gonna be like. And I think for me, it just felt like this transition.” The ‘Big Love’ hitmaker further noted, “It just feels like this new season that you’re stepping into where the biggest thing for me has actually been looking around me and also it’s incredibly healing when you look to your own mom,” before adding, “And just have this whole other level of understanding, really, truly.”
