“I want to be as present of a mother as humanly possible and I want them to feel my presence,” she said last month while chatting about her recently launched non-alcoholic mixer lineBetty Buzzand its new partnership withBritish Airways.
“But I also think the best way to be the best mother is to show them that you can have a life and have a passion and have an identity outside of just being a mother,” the star continued.
“I mean, being a mother is completely all-encompassing, and that doesn’t mean there are a lot of mothers who don’t have the opportunity to work as well, but just having your [own] identity is, I think, very important,” she added. “And teaching them that they can maintain themselves and that everything is possible [is crucial].”
“So it is very important for them to see me working. I bring them along, though. I mean, it’s amazing they’re not hidden under my skirt right now,” Lively said with a laugh. “I bring them everywhere. It’s so inappropriate, but I’m very lucky to be at a job that allows me to do that.”
Lively and Reynolds, 45, have been together since 2010 when they met and starred together in comic book filmGreen Lantern. They wed in 2012 and later welcomed their three girls in 2014, 2016 and 2019.
Earlier this month, Reynolds announced that he is taking a sabbatical from acting after a successful year to spend more time with Lively and their kids.
