Julia Stiles, yeah, you’ve probably heard of her, just expanded her family to five! In a low-key reveal, she mentioned that last year, a new little bundle of joy arrived. This baby makes it three with her hubby, Preston Cook. He’s in the acting biz too.
So, Julia had a chat with The New York Times. The reason? She’s diving into directing with a film called Wish You Were Here. And guess what? She’s juggling this new role with being a mom to a 5-month-old. Talk about multitasking! They wrapped up the film’s production in February.
Oh, and about keeping her pregnancy under wraps? Julia was like, “I didn’t really talk about it.” She’s keeping the baby’s name and sex just between her close circle. Julia and Preston are already parents to two boys, Strummer, who’s 6, and Arlo, the 2-year-old tornado.
Julia’s in that new-mom fog, running on what she calls “fumes” of sleep. Yet, she’s feeling a surge of energy she’s never felt before. Directing and motherhood? According to her, they’re not so different. Both roles demand foresight, presence, and a knack for managing chaos while keeping everyone happy.
The couple’s love story began back in 2015 on the set of Blackway. Fast forward to Christmas that year, and they’re engaged. They tied the knot in a whirlwind of love in September 2017. Fun fact: Julia was pregnant with Strummer during their “shotgun wedding.” She even joked about it on Instagram.
Big congrats to Julia and Preston on their newest family member!
Kate Fann’s the name, writing’s the game. She’s nestled in East Tennessee with Casey, her husband, and their two sons, Quinn and Noah. When she’s not crafting words or scrolling through Instagram, you might find her sipping fine wines, dabbling in makeup, baking something scrumptious, or exploring the Smoky Mountains.
