Actors Alicia Vikander, 35, and Michael Fassbender, 47, have quietly welcomed their second child together, as revealed by Vikander in a recent interview with Elle. Vikander shared that her second pregnancy was more challenging than the first, describing it as a physically demanding experience akin to a marathon. She credited her physical training for helping her navigate the process.
Vikander, known for her roles in various films, including portraying childbirth scenes on screen, expressed admiration for the strength and resilience of women who go through pregnancy and childbirth. She acknowledged the difficulty of pretending to give birth as an actor compared to the real experience.
The couple's latest addition comes after the birth of their first child, which was announced in 2021. Vikander had previously spoken about the profound impact of motherhood on her life and work, emphasizing the beauty and inspiration it brings.
Vikander and Fassbender, who met on the set of 'The Light Between Oceans' in 2016, have maintained a private relationship, with occasional glimpses into their personal life. They confirmed their marriage in 2017 and have since settled in Lisbon, Portugal, where they prioritize balancing their careers with parenting responsibilities.
In a candid interview, Vikander shared her struggles with fertility, revealing the challenges she faced while trying to conceive. Despite the difficulties, the couple has found ways to support each other in their professional endeavors while ensuring one of them is always available to care for their children.
Their upcoming thriller, 'Hope,' features Vikander in a physically demanding role shortly after giving birth, showcasing her dedication to her craft and physical fitness. The film is set to premiere next year, adding to Vikander's diverse body of work.
