Sienna Miller On The Messiness Of Motherhood: ‘I Just Smelled, Like, Puke’
Sienna Miller has got frank about parenting and even reveals how her hectic household is not-so-glamorousย despite what people may think about celeb home life!
Sienna On The Responsibility Of Motherhood
In an honest interview with Allure, the British actress opened up on the pressures and responsibility she feels looking after her four-year-old daughter Marlowe.
โI had an amazing moment the other day where I just heard this โMama!โ from upstairs,โ she recalls.ย โI said, โIโm coming, Iโm coming.โ And as I got to the landing I just smelled, like, puke.
โAnd sheโd thrown up basically off the top bunk, so the splatters were like: Pow! Like all four walls. She had the norovirus or whatever. I was like, โIโm coming, Iโm coming!โ And I skidded on the sick and fell. Whacked my head.
โThen I get her out of the bunk; sheโs crying, covered in sick. I take her to the bathroom, take all her clothes off, and then the dog comes up and starts eating the sick.”

โAnd I get her in the bath and in my bed, and Iโm just, like, literally naked, mopping, and crying at midnight,” she continues.
โYou know, and thatโs parenthood. Youโre so enriched by it and so fulfilled, but at the same time, I look at these people who just donโt have any responsibility, and it feels like the responsibility is crippling.โ
But Sienna says the tough times are worth it, and she says sheโd like to one day become โthat wise, happy granny, with a sort of wrap around my head and a few beads… in Tuscany. Wrinkled and tanned.โ
On Co-Parenting With Her Ex
Sienna, 35, who has split from Marloweโs dad Tom Sturbridge also opened up on what itโs like to co-parent with him.
“We do bedtime every day,” she adds.
“We felt like as much togetherness as possible would be ideal, and fortunately we really love each other and are best friends, and so that works.”
Meanwhile, the Layer Cake actress says that she does โmournโ her pre-pregnancy body at times.
โI do miss my breasts being where they were. And, yes, I have nipples like fighter pilotsโย thumbs,โ she jokes.
โBut I also sort of like that theyโre a little โ70s. And that they fed my kid.โ
