'I made an honest mistake'
"Earlier today I made an honest mistake accidentally posting a video of our daughter on instagram stories," she began. "We have always advocated for our kids' rights to privacy so sharing this publicly is something that is against anything I stand for. Our children deserve the right to grow up out of the public eye, to learn and grow in private. If I ever were to post anything of our kids, know that it is unquestionably a mistake. I would greatly appreciate if anyone who has reposted on any of other platform, please delete the video," Turner concluded.
Turner and Jonas welcomed their first child in July 2020. The couple managed to keep both of Sophie's pregnancies a secret until she was spotted with a visible baby bump at various public events. The couple, who are both vocal about protecting their children's privacy, have been careful about not sharing too much about their daughters on social media. In fact, Turner recently had to apologize after accidentally sharing a video of Willa on her Instagram story.
Despite their celebrity status, Turner and Jonas have made it clear that their children's privacy is of utmost importance. While fans eagerly await the reveal of their second child's name, it's likely that the couple will continue to keep their family life as private as possible.
'Family has made me a much more emotional person'
"The concept of family has made me a much more emotional person. The empathy is heightened, the feelings about family are just overflowing," Turner shared while appearing on The Wrap's 'UnWrapped' podcast in April 2022. "It’s made me a better actor for becoming a mother — because the only way to become a really brilliant actor is to experience as much life as possible and to bring those experiences in. This is just another little part of life that I’m experiencing that I get to bring in, and hopefully, it helps my performance one way or another," the actress added.
The actress also shared that she feels she has "become way less cool" since becoming a mother of two. "I’m like an old woman," Sophie joked to Elle UK in May 2022. "It’s what life is about for me – raising the next generation. The greatest thing in life is seeing my daughter go from strength to strength," she said, before adding, "We’re so excited to be expanding the family. It’s the best blessing ever."
