The actress says motherhood is her number one priority
Christina Applegate expressed her love toward her five-year-old daughter Sadie Grace, saying it should be “humanly impossible” to care as much as she does.
Applegate and husband Martyn LeNoble had their daughter in 2011 and the actress says her love toward the child is a strong and spiritual one.
She told People magazine: “I love my kid … more than I’ve ever known [is] possible. Like, humanly possible. It’s a spiritual thing. I really love her.”
The Bad Moms actress also says that Grace is her highest priority, particularly after not spending much time during her early development due to a busy acting career. She now considers motherhood to be her primary job.
“Once I had my daughter, I was doing a show six months later … which I did for two years and I didn’t see her, that was something that wasn’t right to me, so I had to make a decision truly conscious about how I was a mother before anything else.
She continued by adding: I took a year-and-a-half off and was with her. In between jobs I spend the majority of my time with my daughter so she knows I’m there. Plus, I enjoy doing things with her so much, she is my number one priority, nothing else is as significant as she is.”
The actress now consults with her entire family prior to accepting a busy acting role to ensure it is the right thing to do.
Applegate explained: “Every work decision is made by the whole family, we discuss every role to ensure it suits the family dynamic, if it will make us all happy. I mean, we do a consensus so everything goes right regarding our family.”
