She added that embracing motherhood, completely changed her life, "Everything felt redefined for me at that moment, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to pursue acting as a career anymore."
The actress-businesswoman shares two kids, a daughter Apple, and a son Mosses, with ex-Chris Martin, whom she stayed married to from 2003 to 2014.
The Shakespeare in Love star appeared in an interview with Bustle and opened up about having a teenage daughter. She stated, "Having a daughter of that age is so fun, especially because she's into clothes, skin, and all that kind of stuff."
