You feel more deeply \u2026 It\u2019s a love like no other \u2026 You\u2019re just more alive. This [parenthood] is the best room in the house, and I didn\u2019t know that. I was quite happy before, but this is the whole point of living here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Last month, the Loki star, who has not publicly shared the names or genders of his and Ashton\u2019s children, insisted it is a \u201cprivilege\u201d to be a dad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Hiddleston told Men\u2019s Health magazine: \u201cI want to be fit and strong for my children. I\u2019m so aware that they are watching me and I\u2019m a model for them. It\u2019s such a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nzherald.co.nz\/topic\/family\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nzherald.co.nz\/topic\/family\/\">privilege to be someone\u2019s father<\/a>. And I mean that humbly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cIt\u2019s such an honour to live up to what that means. And both my children, to introduce them to the joy of movement and the joy of their bodies \u2026 I want to keep up with them. I want to play with them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cI want to carry them and run with them, play football with them. To swim and chase and throw them up in the air. And so, that now is the motivation. Trying to hold on to it for as long as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Ashton previously declared motherhood as the \u201cmost unparalleled and important role\u201d she will ever have.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">In October 2023, she told the Sunday Times Style magazine: \u201cThe place that I\u2019m at right now is the past, present and future working in a really special alignment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cIt\u2019s the most unparalleled and important role I will ever have, and I look forward to being in dialogue about it when the moment is right.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cListening is serving my energy best as a mother right now. I\u2019m brand new to this and absorbing all the knowledge and stories I can.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cYou just feel more of everything.
