Kristen Wiig gushes about motherhood, saying it’s ‘the best’ following birth of twins in January

She gave birth to twins with fiance Avi Rothman back in January.

And on Thursday, Kristen Wiig told Entertainment Tonight that being a mom was ‘the best.’ 

‘I know everyone always says that, and everyone says, like, it changes how you look at the world and how you, like, see love. Now it’s just, like, such a bigger thing, and all of that stuff is so true,’ the actress, 47, shared.

Wiig and Rothman embarked on a relationship five years ago and had been trying to get pregnant for three years before welcoming their twins via a surrogate. 

The SNL alum explained to ET that becoming a mother has made her a lot less selfish.

‘Especially being in this business, you’re on your own a lot, and you make your own decisions. It can be very sort of, like, an isolated existence,’ she said.

‘Now that I have kids, it’s like, ‘Oh, I don’t want this to be about me, I don’t wanna think about me anymore.”

She went on: ‘Just having these two other little beings that I get to take care of is so amazing and, even though it’s hard, I feel more relaxed in a way. I don’t know why, but I had this sense of, like, calm after they were born.’ 

Wiig will next be seen in Wonder Woman 1984 opposite Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. 

Wiig stars as Barbara Ann Minerva, aka Cheetah, a mild-mannered geologist who gains superhuman powers and transforms into one of Wonder Woman’s most ferocious enemies.

‘It was intense, because when you’re not shooting, you’re training or you’re working with the stunt team or memorizing choreography and doing all that stuff,’ she shared.

‘So, you show up to shoot and you’re, like, already tired and sore.’ 

Wonder Woman 1984 will be in theaters and streaming on HBO Max on December 25.
