I was showing from day one! There was no way I was able to work when I was pregnant. You\u2019re basically off for a year, and then I chose more time to be with my family, so it ended up being two years that I didn\u2019t act, but it was obviously a magical time in my life. But it also was good because it gave me a hunger to come back and an excitement and the renewed energy of why I want to make things and how I want to make things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Natalie gave birth to the couple&#8217;s second child, six-year-old daughter Amalia, in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Natalie previously admitted she is \u201creally trying to impress\u201d her children with her movie roles. <\/p>\n<p>\nThe \u2018Thor: Love and Thunder\u2019 star said she is in a \u201cphase\u201d where she wants to wow her kids with her work, which was why she reprised her role as Jane Foster after eight years since \u2018Thor: The Dark World\u2019 in 2013. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe told Variety last year: &#8220;I feel like it&#8217;s the phase of my career where I&#8217;m really trying to just impress my kids. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;My five-year-old and my 10-year-old [now 11] were so enthralled by this process, getting to visit the set and see me dressed up in a cape.
