Alicia Vikander opens up about motherhood while filming 'Hope'

One of the most beautiful couples in Hollywood has welcomed their second child. Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender have been married since 2017 and are very protective of their privacy.

Taylor Russell, who stars alongside Vikander in the new film titled "Hope," showed a lack of discretion. Not much is known about this project yet, only that it is supposed to be an action film with elements of science fiction and required considerable physical fitness from its cast.

Russell praised her colleague's form, "especially since she just gave birth to her second child." This happened during an interview for the British magazine "Elle," so Vikander, if she wanted, could have removed it during authorization. Instead, she shared her thoughts:

- All women have such different experiences, and going through it a second time was definitely harder for me. But I think training made it easier. Going through those nine months is like a marathon, so it does help if you’re strong going into it. It’s so physically demanding, and I have so much admiration for any woman who has done it.

The relationship between Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander started unassumingly. The couple met in 2014 on the set of Derek Cianfrance's film "The Light Between Oceans." The actors played a married couple raising a child they rescued from a drifting boat. There was an immediate spark between Alicia and Michael.

Since then, the couple has been inseparable. However, neither he nor she flaunted their relationship. Both were very concerned about their privacy. They got married away from the spotlight. The media found out about the ceremony much later. The press also found out they welcomed their first child when photos of them with a baby at the airport surfaced.

- Michael and I agreed that some things remain just between us. We have already made that clear. These are too personal matters to discuss publicly - the actress once confessed.

However, two years ago, the actress made a confession about a miscarriage.

- [The miscarriage] was so extreme, painful to go through and, of course, it made me recall making that film [The Light Between Oceans]. That film has another meaning now.
