When it comes to celebrity moms, Jade is a breath of fresh air—she’s real, honest, and relatable in a way that many others simply aren’t. As the mother of a lively six-year-old, Lila, and a cute nine-month-old, Theo, she’s been happily married to her husband, Sam, for over a decade. And let’s be real: she’s the first to admit, “No marriage is perfect!”
If you’re hoping for a glamorous, fairy-tale depiction of celebrity life, you might want to look elsewhere. In a candid chat with The Gazette, Jade opened up about the roller coaster of emotions that comes with marriage, especially when kids are in the mix.
“There are days when I look at Sam and think, ‘Wow, he’s so thoughtful and steady; he’s like my anchor,’” Jade shares. “But then there are moments where I’m like: ‘What was I thinking? I don’t even like you! We have nothing in common, and I’m not sure I ever want to see you again!’”
This emotional tug-of-war is just part of the parenting package. As anyone with kids knows, it’s easy to lose sight of who you were before becoming parents, and sometimes, even who you are to each other.
“Then two weeks later, I’m feeling great about everything, and suddenly, it hits me—what if we haven’t been intimate in forever?” Jade confesses. “Is this what they call bed death? Am I still attracted to him? Is he to me?” She pauses for dramatic effect. “Monogamy requires effort! But when you put in the work, things can turn around.”
Can I get an amen? Hearing someone as talented and successful as Jade voice the same struggles we all face is downright inspiring.
And speaking of inspiration, Jade’s journey wasn’t always smooth sailing. She’s been open about her turbulent teenage years, including struggles with substance use and running away from home. Now, she’s a devoted mom who prefers exploring local parks and museums with her family instead of hitting the party scene while on tour.
“Back in the day, other parents would cringe at the thought of me around their kids,” she laughs. “I was the wild one, always in trouble. But now, moms say, ‘I love that my daughter looks up to you!’”
For anyone who has followed Jade on social media or caught her empowering speeches, it’s clear she’s someone we admire—both for ourselves and for the messages she sends to our children.
“How the world turns,” she concludes.
