Reese Witherspoon: I feared I'd be a bad mum

Actress says it took her a while to feel comfortable

Reese Witherspoon has 2 children with her ex-husband Ryan Phillippe

Reese Witherspoon worried that she wouldn’t be a good mum to her children.

The actress says it took her a while to adjust to parenthood.

‘When I first held my baby, Ava, that was the first time I’d ever held a baby in my life,’ she tells People.

‘So I understand that sort of fear of not being a good mom.

‘It took me a long time to feel really comfortable in the role of being a mother.’

Reese has two children, Ava, 9, and 5-year-old Deacon, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, 34.

The actress, 32, is now dating actor Jake Gyllenhaal, 27.
