Suki Waterhouse fears motherhood is going to get “harder and harder”.
The model, 32, is raising her five-month-old daughter with her actor fiancé Robert Pattinson, 38, and opened up about parenting while appearing on Emma Chamberlain’s ‘Anything Goes’ podcast
She said while talking about the challenges of being a new mum in the public eye: “I think it’s gonna get harder and harder. Obviously I would really like to not have her face shown or anything like that.
“That would be like my ideal. But I also think that I have to be kind of a realist about the kind of world that we live.
“And now she's almost six months. She wants to look at flowers and touch things and, like, be out in the world.
“That’s been a little bit more intense.”
Suki also said she was dwelling on protecting her daughter from fans and paparazzi, but wanting to give her access to the world.
She added: “I want to shield her from that, but I also wanna take her for a walk and sit at a cafe and take her out.
“And someone might, like, they probably are going to take a picture and they probably are gonna show her face.
“And you don’t actually get, like, there are laws but they go around them.
“You have to be kind of a realist and not be devastated and wind yourself up so much, because we live in the most insane world.
“If she’s going to have a life where I bring her out, that’s what I care about more.
“I care more about me being peaceful and being able to show her the world than hiding her inside and stuff like that. It’s like that I want her to have a cool life.”
