Jodie’s appearance comes after she spoke about being a mother earlier this year, with the Anne Boleyn star revealing she wept after daughter Janie was born because she felt a sense of ’emptiness’ in her womb. 

Despite feeling emotional, she said that giving birth was a ‘beautiful’ experience that showed ‘the evidence of her biological powers’.

The Queen & Slim star, who is married to Joshua Jackson, told MATCHESFASHION in a new Q&A for their Curated By series: ‘I remember feeling my womb for the first time after I gave birth, feeling the emptiness, and I just wept.

‘Because it’s just as beautiful, as it is bizarre, as it is completely f****** normal and human. My body has more curves now, more folds, more softness, and all of that is the evidence of my biological powers.

‘I just kind of grow more in awe of that every day.’

Reflecting on the birthing experience, Jodie reaffirmed how going into labour made her realise how ‘powerful’ women are.

She said to Elle earlier this year: ‘The men think they’re hard-core, but they could never do what they do while also making a baby. They just couldn’t.

‘[Giving birth reaffirmed to me that] patriarchal society really is out here, scamming women into thinking that they’re not supremely powerful beings, because damn, it’s some goddess-level s***.’

And the actress also told the ways in which becoming a first-time parent has been more difficult than ever, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

She added: ‘Navigating parenthood at any time is difficult, and it’s even more difficult without support, when everything is shut down and you can’t really see other people or go anywhere. 

‘[Luckily] I’m not having to sit on Zoom with her and suddenly become her educator as well as her caretaker.’ 

Jodie and Dawson’s Creek alum Joshua started dating in 2018 and they wed in 2019 before welcoming their daughter a year later.
