Emma Stone on Motherhood: 'The Greatest Gift of My Life'
THE SCHOLARLY NOTE EXCLUSIVE
Emma Stone: From Red Carpet Queen to Domestic Goddess?
In a shocking turn of events, Academy Award-winning actress Emma Stone has revealed that her life as a mom is her greatest achievement yet! The usually private La La Land star, 36, has opened up about her experiences as a mother to four-year-old Louise Jean in an exclusive interview with Vogue.
According to sources close to the actress, Emma's decision to keep her pregnancy under wraps was no surprise. After all, this is a woman who has built a career on being a Hollywood A-lister, not a social media influencer. But what we didn't know about Emma was that she's a total sucker for sappy TV shows and baking cookies with her mini-me!
In a rare and heartfelt interview, Emma gushed about her little girl: "There's nothing I feel luckier about. She's the greatest gift of my life, for sure." This is not your average A-list mom; Emma is the real deal! And it seems she's learned to prioritize what truly matters in life – family.
But don't get it twisted; Emma Stone hasn't traded in her stilettos for a life of suburban bliss just yet. She's still set to make waves on the big screen with upcoming films Eddington and Bugonia. However, motherhood has given her a newfound perspective on life. As she puts it: "It's streamlined everything. It's a clichéd thing to say, but it changes everything. And simplifies everything."
Emma's friends are singing her praises too! Close pal Martha MacIsaac, who co-starred with Emma in Superbad, shared: "Motherhood can be so difficult, and she's handling it with grace." We're not surprised – after all, this is the same woman who FaceTimed with both of her labors (yes, you read that right!). And rumor has it, her medical advice is top-notch too!
Now, we know what you're thinking: how does Emma balance her Hollywood lifestyle with being a full-time mom? Well, it seems she's taking things one step at a time. As she puts it: "I do think it unlocks different things... I don't know if it's specifically that, but I feel everything I could possibly feel, because everything has exploded."
And speaking of explosions – Emma gave her daughter a sweet shout-out at the 2024 Academy Awards, where she took home her second Best Actress award for Poor Things. "And, most importantly, my daughter, who's gonna be three in three days and has turned our lives technicolor," she said with a smile. We're not crying; you are!
It seems Emma Stone is trading in the glamour of Hollywood for the joys of domesticity – at least, that's what it looks like on social media (or not, since Emma hasn't been active on any platforms). But make no mistake, this A-lister still has a lot to offer. As she puts it: "It's very exciting" being a mom.
And finally, we've got some juicy gossip for you! Did you know that Emma called motherhood "very exciting" in 2021? And when asked about lockdown, she replied: ".I feel lucky with what lockdown has been but it has been an insane year." We're not surprised – who wouldn't want to spend their lockdown days baking cookies and watching cartoons with their mini-me?
As for her love life, Emma tied the knot with comedian husband Dave McCary in 2020. The couple met four years prior when she hosted Saturday Night Live, and it's clear they're still going strong.
In conclusion, it seems Emma Stone has finally found her happy place – and it's not on the red carpet, but at home with her little family. And who can blame her? As we all know, there's no greater joy in life than being a mom.
