Suki Waterhouse is sharing with her fans a peek into her postpartum experience following the arrival of her first child with fiancé Robert Pattinson.
"The fourth trimester has been quite humbling!" Waterhouse, 32, shared in an Instagram post on Monday, April 8. She described the postpartum period as a mix of joy, laughter, tears, and a rollercoaster of hormones.
Waterhouse proudly flaunted her postpartum body in a white bra and gray underwear from the motherhood brand Frida Mom. She topped off the look with a gray cardigan, expressing her pride in her body's achievements and the kindness she has shown herself during the recovery period.
Just days before opening up about her post-birth journey, Waterhouse introduced her and Pattinson's newborn to the world. Sharing a photo on Instagram on Thursday, April 4, she warmly welcomed the baby with the caption, "Welcome to the world angel ❤️." The name and gender of the baby are still kept under wraps.
Waterhouse and Pattinson, 37, recently welcomed their first child as they were seen strolling with a baby carriage in Los Angeles. In pictures from the Daily Mail, Pattinson was dressed in a gray hoodie, a puffer jacket, shorts, and sneakers, while Waterhouse wore a long black jacket and a baseball cap.
Since they began dating in 2018, the couple has kept their relationship private. Waterhouse hinted at her pregnancy while performing at the Corona Capital 2023 Music Festival in Mexico City in November 2023.
"I decided to wear something sparkly today in the hopes that it would catch your attention," she mentioned while wearing a shiny purple and green mini dress paired with gold boots on stage. "But it seems like it's not really working."
Suki Waterhouse shared a post on her Instagram account. She proudly displayed her baby bump at various public events, such as the British Fashion Awards in December 2023 and the Emmys in January. Additionally, she showcased her baby bump in a cropped blouse and green sheer dress for an Instagram laundry detergent ad in December 2023.
Waterhouse is scheduled to make a comeback to the stage shortly after welcoming her baby, as she is slated to perform at Coachella in Indio, California, on April 12 and 19.
Currently, the star of Daisy Jones & the Six is relishing some precious moments with Pattinson and their newborn. According to an insider who spoke to We magazine last month, Pattinson has witnessed a different side of Suki since she became a mother. The insider mentioned, "He has a deep admiration for Suki, and she has seamlessly transitioned into motherhood."
According to the source, only a few close family members have visited the baby. The couple is excited for the next chapter when they officially get married.
