She told the magazine: ‘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. We’re so excited to be expanding the family. It’s the best blessing ever.
‘I’m very protective of the life we’ve built. Every time Joe and I do a red carpet together, we make sure it’s for the right reason and makes sense for our careers.
‘You never want to market yourself as a celebrity couple. It’s not that cool. And my daughter never asked for any of this.
‘I know what it can do to your mental health to be in this industry, and to be photographed every day and have the comments.

She said: ‘The concept of family has made me an entirely much more emotional person. The empathy is heightened; the feelings about family are just like overflowing.
‘It’s made me a better actor for becoming, you know, becoming a mother.’
Sophie added that an important part of being an actor is bringing your real-life experiences to the roles you play.
She said: ‘As an actor, you know, the only way to become a really brilliant actor is to experience as much life as possible and to bring those experiences in, and so 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.’
Sophie and Joe were initially linked after they were seen getting affectionate at a 2016 concert in the Netherlands.

It was claimed that the X-Men: Apocalypse actress was pregnant with her first child in February of 2020.
A source told In Touch that the movie star and her husband ‘are absolutely ecstatic and can’t wait for Willa to have a sibling.’
They went on to state that the happy couple had a plan in place regarding the revelation of their child’s name.
The insider stated: ‘Picking a name, which they aren’t sharing with anyone until the baby arrives, is what they’re really excited about.’
They added that Sophie was a ‘private person and won’t make an official announcement about the pregnancy until she’s ready.’
