She told Grazia: 'I'm looking forward to taking some time off, being with my kids more consistently and surrendering to how random life is.

'That's something that I'm much more curious about as I get older - I have a much clearer understanding of how quickly life goes.

'I've always tried to fill my life with as much diversity as possible, and it's never been boring, so I'm excited to buckle up and continue whatever journey comes my way - the highs, the lows and everything in-between.'
