The 46-year-old star and her filmmaker husband Marco Perego Saldana have three sons, twins Cy and Bowie, 10, and Zen, eight – try not to separate their lives in case it affects their upbringing, but it comes with them getting to know her showbiz identity.
Speaking on the issue of 'process parenting', she said: 'I wish I had kids that didn't yet know what I do, or during my kids' formation my work had grown up with no-one asked.'
'My husband and I really made this decision not to let separate our lives.'
'I feel like my work is kind of like in the backyard, so they do understand it, and then they don't.'
'They care about it, and then they kind of don't.'
'Much like in soccer language. So, it's very much like, it's kind of like the World Cup of acting, but they're simple kids and they get what they get.'
She admitted she wanted to be 'more present' in her children's lives after her blockbuster career in Hollywood saw her become the first performer of Dominican descent to win the Best Supporting Actress award for her role as attorney Rita in the musical comedy film, Emile.

He told E! News in a statement: 'I cared about Sarah, but I don't think I passed the Mom test.

She confirmed the rumours on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, he he asked: 'Did you date Nic Cage?' She replied: 'Yes, I did.' The host, who is close friends with Sarah, quipped: 'Oh wow.

Asked the secret to her happy marriage, she told Britain's HELLO! magazine: 'Probably that I don't talk about it! It really is a secret. 'But maybe it's because we're not a Hollywood couple. We live in New York – maybe that's good.'

John Cena loves a traditional fish and chips
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles John Cena absolutely loves fish and chips and a Full English Breakfast. The 48-year-old actor has been over to the UK a lot over the past two decades during his time as a WWE superstar, and he's embraced the local cuisine to the point that he went for a very traditional meal before Tuesday's Heads of State world premiere in London. Appearing on ITV daytime show This Morning, he said: 'I enjoyed [fish and chips] so much that right before our premiere last night, we had about 90 minutes and myself and my two friends, all from America, we sat down, we ordered fish and chips, we had a pint, and that got us ready for the world premiere.' John - who revealed he went for vinegar and a little bit of dunking in the tartar sauce' - got more of a taste for a chippy after the dish plays a role in his new movie with Idris Elba. The Hollywood star also opened up on his admiration for a 'savoury breakfast', which he learned to love during his early WWE days. He added: 'All savoury! In America, we tend to lean on the sweet. It's all very filling, but very sweet. Boy, do I love a savoury breakfast! 'I've been a fan of the English breakfast for a long time - you gotta remember, with WWE, I've being coming over here for 25 years.' Although the lines between real life and art have been blurred with his food preferences, John insisted that won't be the case after he played the President of the United States in the new action comedy. He quipped: 'I am playing the role of the president of the United States. I would much rather play the role of President of the United States than BE the President of the United States. I'm happy in my lane!' When This Morning host Ben Shephard joked that real life president Donald Trump often appears to be playing a role too, the wrestling legend kept his response diplomatic.
