Reese has previously opened up about motherhood and what it means to her when she appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show.
"You take the food out of your mouth, the clothes off your back, the sleep out of your life," she said. "But every bit of it - every bit of that sacrifice is truly worth it because you feel like, that's what makes me wake up on a Sunday. It's not movies or my job, it's my kids."

The Big Little Lies star also admitted that trying to launch her career while being a young mum was difficult. "I got pregnant when I was 22 years old," she said. "And I didn't know how to balance work and motherhood. You just do it, you know?
"I'd made movies but I hadn't established myself as someone who could demand that it shoot close to my kids' school or, you know, I didn't have any real power, leverage within my industry. I was just like every other mum trying to figure it out - and dad out there, and partner, and grandparent who's raising a child."
