Actress Julia Stiles recently revealed that she welcomed her third child with husband Preston Cook. Stiles, 43, shared the news while reflecting on her iconic role in '10 Things I Hate About You,' which premiered 25 years ago. The couple already has two sons, Strummer, 6, and Arlo, 2.
Stiles, who is also making her directorial debut with the movie 'Wish You Were Here,' emphasized the parallels between motherhood and directing. She highlighted the importance of time management, sensitivity to others' needs, and the ability to think ahead while staying present.
Stiles and Cook have a history of keeping their personal lives private. They began dating in 2014 after meeting on the set of Stiles' film 'Blackway' and got engaged in December 2015. The actress described the proposal as a surprise, as she had initially talked herself out of expecting it during a vacation with Cook's family.
The couple tied the knot in September 2017, and Cook later worked as a crew member on Stiles' show 'Riviera' from 2017 to 2020. Stiles expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work together, noting that it strengthened their relationship.
Stiles' latest revelation about her third child adds another chapter to her evolving personal and professional life, showcasing her ability to balance motherhood, directing, and maintaining a successful partnership with Cook.
