Being A Mum Is Liberating

It’s All Happening For Our Golden Girl Next Door – From A Hit Tv Series To The Impending Arrival Of Her Baby Girl.

Gorgeous, talented and business-savvy – Teresa Palmer is hot property in Hollywood at the moment. But instead of hitting the audition circuit every other week or fighting for the limelight, the Aussie actress is embracing her most-valued role to date – motherhood.

Speaking from her home in Los Angeles, the 32-year-old is counting the days until she and husband Mark Webber, 38, welcome the arrival of their first daughter. The mother-of-three – Bodhi, four, Forest, two, and 10-yearold stepson Isaac – recently announced she’s expecting on her social media account. ‘We’re over the moon,’ she says excitedly. ‘I almost fell out of my chair when the doctors told me [it was a girl]. I thought, “What? We don’t have girls.” Mark was overwhelmed and burst into tears, so it was a big shock for us.’ Despite having a well-travelled brood, the South Australian has returned home for the birth.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

‘The good news is she’ll be an Aussie baby,’ Teresa says. ‘We’ll come back for a while and she’ll be born in Adelaide.’ It’s been a steady rise in Tinseltown for Teresa, with notable roles in December Boys, Warm Bodies and Hacksaw Ridge – to name just a few – and the occasional modelling gig. In 2019, she’s also set to star as female jockey Michelle Payne in the Australian biopic Ride Like a Girl.
