Actress Julia Stiles recently revealed that she and her husband quietly welcomed their third child last year. Stiles, 43, shared in a New York Times interview that she is juggling motherhood with directing her first movie, 'Wish You Were Here.' Despite the challenges of sleep deprivation, she expressed feeling more energized than ever.
Stiles did not disclose details about the new baby's name or gender but emphasized how being a parent has influenced her approach to her career. She likened motherhood to directing, highlighting the importance of thinking ahead, managing time effectively, and balancing sensitivity with setting boundaries.
Stiles and her husband, Preston Cook, are also parents to two sons, Strummer, 6, and Arlo, 2. The couple exchanged vows in September 2017 on a Seattle beach while expecting their first child. Subsequently, they welcomed Strummer two months later and Arlo in January 2022.
Despite their decision to keep their children's identities private on social media, Stiles has faced criticism from followers, particularly regarding her parenting choices. In response to negative comments about her use of a carrier in 2017, she encouraged critics to have more fun rather than engage in judgment.
