Reese Witherspoon seemingly has it all – an Oscar, a thriving acting career, a book club, a production company, beautiful kids, and a billionaire boyfriend.
However, the 48-year-old Morning Show star recently candidly said that her life isn’t perfect, despite dating billionaire Oliver Haarman (pictured with Reese below,) and admitted that she found it “hard being a working mom” because of the sacrifices she undoubtedly has to make to fit everything in. So we guess it’s true when they say you really can’t have it all!
Reese Witherspoon Gets Candid About The Reality Of Being A Working Mom
"It's hard being a working mom, traveling, and living out what I want to accomplish in this world, and also be a great mom," the Legally Blonde alum told Parents in an interview published last month.
Reese went on to say that she was grateful for all the help she has when it comes to raising her children, and raved about her tight knit community.
"I feel lucky that I'm surrounded by people who love my children and help care for them," the Reese's Book Club founder said, adding: "I don't know what I would do without them."
Reese Witherspoon Says She's Grateful For Her Community
"As a working mom, I'm not always around for volunteer activities at school. So, they will sign me up when they know I'm in town and make sure that I get an opportunity to be part of the community," the Your Place or Mine actress continued, before recalling a particularly heartfelt moment that proved just how close and loving her community is.
"I was at a dance last night with a lot of 12-year-olds, and one of the kids was feeling sad," the Big Little Lies actress recalled. "Every single mom took time out to go over, sit with him, talk to him, and watch him. Mothering is this beautiful thing when you're in the right community, and you feel very connected in your values. There are no other people's children; they're all our kids."
When asked what her "parenting superpower" is, the Walk the Line star said: "Not taking things personally. Occasionally I do—I'm still human—but I create the space for conversations with my kids. We work through conflict well. If there's any question that comes up about their choices, we talk it out."
