Kristen Wiig Gushes About Being a Mom to Her Twins in Rare Interview!

Kristen Wiig is opening up about motherhood!

The 47-year-old SNL alum chatted about being a mom to her twins in a rare interview.

“It’s the best,” Kristen shared with Entertainment Tonight. “I know everyone always says that, and everyone says, like, it changes how you look at the world and how you, like, see love. Now it’s just, like, such a bigger thing, and all of that stuff is so true.”

Kristen and longtime love Avi Rothman welcomed their twins via surrogate back in June after years of fertility struggles.

“Just having these two other little beings that I get to take care of is so amazing and, even though it’s hard, I feel more relaxed in a way,” Kristen shared. “I don’t know why, but I had this sense of, like, calm after they were born.”

Kristen also chatted about what it’s like working now that she’s a mom.

“Especially being in this business, you’re on your own a lot, and you make your own decisions. It can be very sort of, like, an isolated existence,” Kristen explained. “Now that I have kids, it’s like, ‘Oh, I don’t want this to be about me, I don’t wanna think about me anymore.’”

Kristen Wiig will next be appearing in Wonder Woman 1984, which will be released in theaters and on HBO Max on Christmas Day. Check out the latest trailer here!

Sarah Silverman Wasn't Surprised By 'Imagine' Video Backlash, Says Kristen Wiig Apologized to Her

Sarah Silverman is speaking out about the backlash that the celeb-filled “Imagine” video received at the beginning of quarantine and how the video’s organizer, Kristen Wiig, sent her an apology email.

In the video, Sarah, Kristen, Gal Gadot, and many more celebs performed lines from the song “Imagine” while at home to send hope to people around the world.

Sarah talked about the video on Andy Cohen‘s SiriusXM show.

“Listen, I’m not trying to separate myself from this, but…” she started saying with a laugh. “You know, I did a movie with Gal, and actually Kristen Wiig was the one who contacted me, which I think Gal asked her to. And Kristen Wiig is the sh-t. So she emailed me and she goes, ‘Well, we’re all gonna sing “Imagine.”‘”

“And I wrote her back and I go ‘Imagine really?’ And then I go, ‘is it for a thing? Is it, what’s the call to action?’ And she, and she, and she’s so sweet, you know? I mean, she’s so funny. She’s also so sweet. And she goes, ‘it’s just to like cheer people up.’ And then I couldn’t say no, because one, it was the beginning of quarantine. Like there’s no saying no to anyone because you can’t, there’s no excuse for it,” Sarah added.

She continued, “You know are you going to say no to Kristen Wiig. She is so lovely and she is so cool. So I tried to like, make my part funny at least, you know, like I just feel like I have no currency unless I’m being funny, which is ironic considering this appearance…But, yeah it’s funny because she emailed me after and she’s like, ‘I’m so sorry.’ It was well intentioned, but like, yeah, a little tone death, but it really came from a nice place I think.”

Sarah said “no” when asked if she was surprised by the backlash.

Another star of the video has revealed a lot of details about the video as well.

Kristen Wiig Gets Candid About 'Isolating' IVF Experience & Fertility Struggles

Kristen Wiig is opening up about her motherhood journey.

The Saturday Night Live actress and comedian, who welcomed twins via surrogate earlier this year, opened up to InStyle about her experience in a new interview.

Here’s what the 46-year-old Wonder Woman 1984 star had to say…

On the isolation of IVF: “As private as I am and as sacred as this all is, what helped me was reading about other women who went through it and talking to those who have gone through IVF and fertility stuff. It can be the most isolating experience. But I’m trying to find that space where I can keep my privacy and also be there for someone else who may be going through it..it’s hard not to personalize it when you get a negative result. You go through so much self-deprecation, and you feel like your partner may be seeing you in a different way and all this other stuff we make up in our heads. But when I did talk about it, every time I said that I was going through IVF, I would meet someone who was either going through it, about to go through it, or had a friend who just did it. It’s like this underground community that’s talked about but not talked about.”

On living a quiet life in between performing at the Oscars: “Well, I live underground. [laughs] It’s not a conscious choice to be secretive. I just want to exist in real life with my family, my friends, and my dogs. Work is work. With the Oscars, Maya [Rudolph] and I were like, ‘F–k it, let’s write something super crazy, and, hopefully, we won’t embarrass ourselves.’ The longer I’m in this business, the less I care what people think.”

On living in the uncomfortable: “The moment I feel like I’ve really got something figured out, it’s time for me to do something else. Living in that uncomfortable, unsteady, nervous place helps me creatively. But as far as knowing that I wasn’t making a mistake in trying to do this for a living, that was at the Groundlings. I felt like my instinct was right. But with any project, you’re taking a chance. I just go with my gut.”

Gal Gadot & Kristen Wiig Say 'Wonder Woman 1984' Isn't Really a Sequel: 'It's Totally On Its Own'

Gal Gadot and Kristen Wiig are opening up about how Wonder Woman 1984 really isn’t a sequel to the first Wonder Woman film at all.

The two stars spoke to Total Film magazine and revealed all the reasons why the movie should be considered a stand alone movie.

“In the first movie, we really explored the journey of the coming-of-age, of how Diana Prince became Wonder Woman, and owned her full strengths and powers,” Gal shared. “She was fresh, she was green, she was a fish out of water, she was young…er!”

She continues, “We don’t pick up the story where we left it last, because it was 66 years ago. So she’s been living for over six decades by herself, in man’s world, serving mankind and doing good.”

“This story is a story of its own. I mean, the only thing that we share in both stories is probably, you know, the fact that it’s Diana Prince and also Steve Trevor. But other than that, it’s a whole new world, and the era is different, and Diana is different, and the story is new.”

Kristen, who plays villain Cheetah, agreed.

“It really doesn’t feel like a sequel in that… everything’s different,” she says. “The posters, the music, everything…obviously the posters are different! I meant, like the style! A lot of time, with the sequel, you want to show the connection to the first one. And this one…”

Gal adds, “It’s totally of its own. It’s true. I feel, in the first movie, a big thing that we played off was the naiveté of Diana. And she’s not naive anymore. She’s been around. She’s wiser. She’s more mature. We meet a very much evolved character in this one.”

Just recently, the release date for Wonder Woman 1984 changed again. See when you’ll be able to see it here…
