Alexandra Daddario Is Expecting! Opens Up About Pregnancy After Loss

Alexandra Daddario is pregnant!

The White Lotus star shared the big news in a tell-all with Vogue on July 10. The actress, who has been hiding her pregnancy for almost six months, told the outlet that she is “overjoyed” to be pregnant, but the journey hasn’t been easy, from dealing with severe morning sickness to reflecting on previous pregnancy loss. “I feel like now that I’m pregnant and it’s all successful and everything’s healthy, I shouldn’t complain,” she said before reflecting on a past pregnancy loss.

“It’s long and complicated, so I don’t want to be too specific,” she continued. “Those kinds of losses and trauma are very hard to explain unless you’ve been through them. I really relate to all the women who have been through those kinds of things in a way that I didn’t understand fully before. It’s very, very painful. It was actually quite hard to process. You have a lot of complicated feelings.”

Some of those complicated feelings followed her into her early pregnancy, where she dealt with pregnancy anxiety. Her savior and stressor? Work. “I was so overwhelmed with work. Part of me was like, This is the worst thing ever. Then part of me was like, This is actually a great distraction. Because I’m not sitting there all day long in my house going, If I pick up this pot to make pasta, is something bad going to happen? If I eat this pasta, is something bad going to happen?”

Despite her long journey to motherhood, Daddario remains excited about upcoming adventures. Talking about sharing the news and her growing bump, she noted that she’s “finally embracing it,” and is excited to show off her bump in a number of different outfits from cute dresses from Reformation and Goop to splurge pieces from Dior she plans to wear post-baby too.

When it comes to navigating her pregnancy woes and questions, from dealing with nausea to workout safety, the star says her go-to is Reddit. “I’m like, Should I be doing Solidcore at 14 weeks? Better check with Reddit on this.” She’s also picked up prenatal yoga after reading studies that say it makes childbirth easier.

Overall the soon-to-be mom is looking toward the future with her little one and husband Andrew Form. In an Instagram post announcing her pregnancy, the star cheekily captioned a photo of her bump out sitting on her kitchen counter, “Excited for my child to go to pre-school with Margot Robbie and Hailey Bieber’s kids.”

Congratulations to Daddario on her big news!
