MAEVA D’ASCANIO OPENS UP TO GRAZIA ABOUT THE UPS AND DOWNS OF MOTHERHOOD

08.12.2024

Maeva D’Ascanio has been refreshingly honest about the struggles of parenting in a new interview.
The Made in Chelsea star, who shares son Beau, three, with her husband James Taylor, said admits she has “amazing days” but “really bad days” too.

However, she says thanks to her incredible family and friends she always feels supported.

She said, “I really enjoy being a mother, and I like being a full-time mum to be completely honest, I think it really suits me. My own problem is just myself.

“I don't know how to manage the stress well, which makes my life hard. All the organisation, all the things I have to do – it's more like how tired mentally I can be than physically, because it's a lot.

“I think it's good to have friends in the same situation that you can talk to when you feel quite down and a bit done with your day and they support you. You need some support.

“I've got my moments where I'm super down and I really lose it, and I've got really bad days, and then I've got amazing days as well.”

Maeva added that while motherhood is a full time job, it’s also her “favourite job”.

She said, “We're obviously [spending] every day together, and we start to really have fun together. I love that he needs me all the time. He's very much in this mummy phase at the minute, and I love that, because I'm thinking, you know what? With everything I do for you, at least show me a bit of love in your way, that's what I deserve! And I love it!”
