More extracts from the February issue of Instyle:
On starting her own maternity line called Loved: “I got the idea to design clothes for women like me who want to be fashion forward even with a baby on board.”
On the love that surrounded her during her pregnancies: “Everything is about love when you’re pregnant. The baby’s being loved by you, the baby’s being loved by your husband, by the grandparents, by your children. And you’re being loved by everyone: ‘Can I do this for you? What can I get you? Do you want some M&Ms?’”
On breastfeeding: “My boobs are on a schedule!”
On being like every other new mom: “You don’t walk out of the hospital and get right back into your 27s.”
On changing her last name to Samuel: “I want us all to have the same name. So my husband, the children, and me, we’re now all one.”
On not flirting with anyone except for Seal: “I don’t flirt. It’s disrespectful to your husband. I would never do that. I’m very devoted, and he’s the same.”
On renewing their marriage vows annually: “We’re still for a minute and stare into each other’s eyes. Because if we don’t take that time, then it’s karate, then it’s ballet, and then there’s Christmas, and my husband’s flying off to tour around the world.”
On the nude photos of her and Seal in their bedroom: “It’s not like, ‘Hey, Mom and Dad are naked, come check it out!’ But if I go to the bathroom and my kid walks in, I’m not going to be like, ‘Oh my God! Close the door!’ They see their parents naked all the time. We are not ashamed.”
On not doing certain jobs anymore: “Models have a sell-by date. There are certain jobs I don’t do anymore, like the young, sexy, cute things for teenagers, or even 25-year-old girls. I go in a different bracket now.”
On her dreams for the future: “At 65 I’d love to be on a boat with my husband, floating around, our kids visiting us with their friends, dropping anchor whenever we want.”
