confessed 'being a mum has made her see other mothers differently' in a Mother's Day post shared to Instagram on Sunday.

The singer revealed in May, 2024, that she'd welcomed her second child, son Forever Sugar, with her husband Slowthai.

Anne-Marie, who also shares daughter Seven, two, with her spouse, shared a rare insight into her life as a mother of two with a series of snaps.

In the snaps, her toddlers can be learning to walk, drawing and enjoying their play time with family members.

But while the sweet snaps showed the enjoyment of her life as a parent, Anne-Marie explained that she didn't truly understand motherhood until she became a parent.

Alongside her sweet snaps, she penned: 'Being a mum has made me see other mothers different.

'I didn’t think it was gonna be this hard and it makes me wanna raise an alcoholic beverage to all the women who did it, all the women who couldn’t do it, who didn’t wanna do it, who gave up, who pushed through, who lost their minds, lost themselves, found themselves, did it on their own, got help, split up with their partners, lost their babies, had a traumatising birth, an easy birth, working mums, stay at home mums, mums who are depressed, emotional, happy, complete, broken.

'This motherhood s**t is next level. It’s an experience I cannot explain and didn’t understand until I did it.

'Big ups to my mum who did. My sister who did it. And myself who is just about doing it. What a beautiful, f*****d up, amazing thing to be a part of. Motherhood'

Since the start of the year, Anne-Marie has taken a break from social media, and in a recent post on X, she apologised to her followers for being 'distant' while she navigated her life as a mother-of-two.

She confessed she's been reluctant to document her life online as she 'looks and feels like a wreck most of the time.'

She wrote: 'Feeling emotional today. Sorry I been distant. Not sure if you care but I do. I'm working really hard to get this right.

'Still figuring out how to be a good mum AND write the best album you've heard from me. It's intense. I want to post, but I look and feel like a wreck most of the time.

'I know you don't care about that though hahah. I miss you all so much and hope you are feeling as happy as you can be. A cuddle is needed.'

Anne-Marie previously shared how her life is 'different' in a post to mark the end of 2025, alongside rare snaps of herself and her two children.

In a lengthy caption, she penned: '2025 you brought me another little angel in our lives. I am grateful. I have changed ALOT and learned ALOT this year. I am different. And that’s amazing.

'My outlook is different. My personality is different. My face is different. My body is different. And I love it all. What a beautiful thing. Change. Scary but beautiful. I have met wonderful new people this year. I started adhd medication which made me less anxious and feel more confident and free.

'I am so ready to enter 2026 as a mum of 2 and a whole new artist. I am grateful for everything in my life. I am grateful for you, for Henry the hoover, for peanut butter and for family (and way more stuff but can’t be bothered to write it out hahaha).

'I hope you see change in 2026 for the better which I am SO SURE about. It might just possibly be the best year of our lives. Enjoy it and make plans and be excited to live in this crazy world. I’m glad i get to live it amongst you all. See you next year.'

Anne-Marie has been no stranger to opening up about her mental health including battles with anxiety and OCD, and her most recent single DEPRESSED documented how she handled dark, personal struggles.

She released the single in October after some extended time off, having given birth to daughter Seven in February 2024, and welcoming her son just over a year later in May 2025.
