While talking about her directional debut in the film Wish You Were Here, Julia unveiled she welcomed her baby no. 3 in an interview published in the New York Times.

Admitting to the publication about hiding her third pregnancy she said, "I didn’t really talk about it."

Stiles detailed how being a mom helped her in direction, “I think that actually being a mom is really great training for being a director,”

She added, “You have to think 10 steps ahead but also be in the present moment. You have to be good at time management. You have to be sensitive to people’s needs and guide them, but also hold a boundary."

The 10 Things I Hate About You star, who also wrote the screenplay of her directorial debut did not reveal the gender and name of her baby. 

“I am running on fumes in terms of sleep, but I feel more energized than I ever have,” she added.
