Claire Danes is getting honest about motherhood. During an episode of the Smart List podcast, the Homeland star reflects on welcoming her two-year-old daughter with husband Hugh Dansancy in 2023, admitting that having a baby at 44 wasn’t exactly in the plans, saying, “I was so old when that happened. I didn’t think it was possible. I was terrified, but it was all okay.” And while she embraced the newest addition to their family, Clare admits she experienced unexpected emotions along the way, explaining, “Suddenly, I felt a funny shame. I was naughty. I’ve been caught fornicating past the point I was meant to. It was weird, and it was like I found an edge that I hadn’t been quite conscious of. But now that Clare has settled into life as a mom of three, with her and Hugh also sharing sons, Cyrus and Rowan, the Emmy winner couldn’t help but marvel at her kids’ differing life stages.” She continues, “There’s about 5 years between each, but it’s a trip. I have a teenager and a toddler.
