Actress Alexandra Daddario Reflects on Joy of Motherhood at Fashion Week

NEW YORK — Actress Alexandra Daddario expressed her joy of motherhood while attending the Tory Burch Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear show during New York Fashion Week. The 38-year-old star, known for her roles in ‘White Lotus‘ and ‘Percy Jackson & the Olympians,’ shared insights about her new life as a mother in an interview with PEOPLE.

Daddario, who welcomed her first child with husband Andrew Form on Halloween 2024, spoke candidly about the challenges and delights of parenthood. ‘I only came to one show this season because I have my son at home,’ she said. ‘Fashion Week is a breeze compared to a hungry little baby.’ She emphasized that she feels ‘very lucky’ to be a mom and described her baby as ‘a great baby.’

‘He’s brought so much joy and peace into my life, so I recommend it to anyone who wants a kid,’ she added. Daddario kept her pregnancy a secret for six months before announcing the arrival of her son on Instagram. Her playful Halloween post featured her newborn swaddled in a blanket decorated with candy.

In the weeks following the birth, Daddario reflected on the physical and emotional journey of motherhood in her social media posts. ‘I’m proud of my body and everything it has endured since giving birth,’ she wrote, shot against the backdrop of balloons spelling out her daughter’s name, Athena Rose. Taking to Instagram on Nov. 13, she shared images of herself with her son, stating, ‘Women’s bodies are amazing. So much love to all the new moms out there leaning into their new powers.

Despite her busy schedule, Daddario has embraced her role as a stepmom to Form’s two children, Rowan and Julian, from a previous marriage. As the couple juggle family life and their careers, Daddario expresses admiration for other new mothers navigating similar post-birth challenges.

‘It’s overwhelming at times, but every moment has been rewarding,’ she said. Her experience at Fashion Week served as a brief escape, but underscores her priority remains her family.
