The Emotional Journey to Motherhood
Keeping the Pregnancy a Secret
Daddario first shared her pregnancy news in July 2024, revealing she was six months along and had kept her baby bump hidden under baggy clothes and carefully angled social media posts.
In a candid interview withVogue, she explained that she had initially hesitated to make her pregnancy public, especially after experiencing a previous miscarriage.
Facing a terrible loss and consequent healing
Reflecting on her earlier pregnancy, Daddario described the emotional toll it took on her.
“I had been pregnant. Then I had a loss. It’s long and complicated, so I don’t want to be too specific,” she toldVogue. “Those kinds of losses and trauma are very hard to explain unless you’ve been through them.”
This experience helped her understand and empathize with other women who have faced similar losses. “I really relate to all the women who have been through those kinds of things in a way that I didn’t understand fully before. It’s very, very painful.”
Balancing Work and Pregnancy
During the early stages of her pregnancy, Daddario was also busy filming the second season ofMayfair Witches, a project she found both challenging and rewarding.
She shared how she managed to keep her pregnancy a secret on set for as long as possible, despite the nausea and exhaustion that came with it.
“I was on set, throwing up and having make-out scenes with my costars right after,” Daddario humorously recalled, noting that it became almost impossible to hide her growing belly by week five.
Eventually, she decided to share the news with her coworkers, who were supportive and understanding.
Reflecting on this period, she explained, “I was so overwhelmed with work. Part of me was like, ‘This is the worst thing ever.’ Then part of me was like, ‘This is actually a great distraction.’”
Complex emotions marked Daddario’s journey to motherhood, as she found herself working through the trauma of her previous loss while embracing the excitement of her current pregnancy.
Experiencing complex emotions
“You have a lot of complicated feelings,” she explained toVogue. “I’m finally embracing it. I can show it off.”
Now, as she steps into this new chapter, Daddario has a newfound appreciation for the resilience and strength required to navigate the challenges of pregnancy and loss.
