The Brokeback Mountain star has revealed giving birth to two-year-old Matilda – whose father Heath tragically died of an accidental prescription drugs overdose on January 22 – has transformed the way she “judges” her body.
She said: “My body has done this totally miraculous but utterly ordinary thing. I feel like I didn’t have any relationship with my body before Matilda. Well I did, but it was just a bad one. After having my daughter I can’t judge myself in the same way.”
Michelle – whose three-year relationship with Heath ended in September last year – admits the couple struggled to cope with being in the public eye.
Speaking to Wonderland magazine prior to Heath’s death, she said: “When you’re in a relationship with somebody who is also a public personality then it doubles the attention from the media. When you minus that equation it’s just less enticing.
“It was so pervading, it got bad there for a while.”
Earlier this week, Michelle returned to work for the first time since Heath’s death, joining her co-stars for filming on the New York set of upcoming movie Mammoth.
