TheBad Teacheractress, 48, sat down with Kevin Hart for an episode of hisPeacock talk showHart to Heart, in which she promotes her line of Avaline wine while discussing herdecision to step back from Hollywood.
Diaz — who shares daughter Raddix, 2 later this year, with her husband, Good Charlotte frontman Benji Madden — opened up about being a mom and spending more time at home.
“Everything starts and goes and stops and goes because it’s all about her needs,” says Diaz while walking through her day-to-day life. “I cook all of her meals. I wake her up, my husband puts her to bed. We’re a total tag-team.”
“You know, we do have childcare that helps us, which, I don’t even know how mothers who don’t have childcare do it,” she adds. “I really do not understand. My heart goes out to them. They are superheroes. I know that’s where the true fatigue comes in, when you don’t have somebody to sort of pass them off to.”
Hart, 42, jokes, “Absolutely. You give me my kids for an hour, I’m out of it. There’s no shot. No shot. I’m looking around — I don’t know how anybody does it. I don’t get it. How do people do this? I get scared if my wife leaves.”
“But you do see how people are like, ‘Get outside,’ " says Diaz. “Like, the mother who locks their kid outside because she just needs 10 minutes, I get it. I understand.”
