Rebel Wilson has spoken candidly about the challenges of being a new mum while being "the breadwinner" of the family.
The 42-year-old actress said it was "so emotional" when she welcomed her first child, daughter Royce Lillian, in November and said her life has now changed dramatically.
While she has found being a mum "amazing", Rebel admitted it hasn't come without struggles.
"It’s really challenging. I have this big international career and you know, I'm, like, the breadwinner of my family I like to think.
"So it’s really challenging too, like, 'Well, now how do I do all the things and be a great mother and great partner and all of that?'" she said in a new interview.
