Hey there! You might have missed it, but the movie Instant Family is not only playing in theaters right now, but it’s also been getting some fantastic reviews. The film stars the talented Rose Byrne alongside Mark Wahlberg as a couple deciding to foster three children. Because of her role in this heartwarming story, Rose sat down with Sunday Life magazine to talk about the portrayal of parenthood and the realities it brings.

Rose Byrne Talks About Realistic Parenthood

At just 39 years old, Rose Byrne is on a mission to showcase the raw and unfiltered reality of parenthood on the big screen. In a world dominated by aspirational social media, where every moment seems curated for perfection, Rose is bringing authenticity to the forefront. She's using her role in Instant Family to highlight the challenges and complexities of raising children, showing that it's okay to admit when things aren't perfect.

Challenging the Norms of Parenthood in Media

Rose shared her thoughts, saying, "There’s so much aspiration around motherhood and fatherhood, especially when it comes to social media. People often present an idealized version of family life, but that's not always the reality. In Instant Family, we’re presenting what life is really like for many parents. It’s not all sunshine and roses; sometimes, it’s hard, messy, and even uncomfortable. And that’s perfectly okay."

Rose also revealed that she felt "uncomfortable" playing scenes in Instant Family where her character admits she dislikes her foster children. She explained, "I felt so exposed during those scenes. But then I realized that’s exactly how it’s supposed to feel. It’s okay to feel uncomfortable because that’s part of the journey. Parenthood isn’t always easy, and admitting that is crucial to understanding and appreciating the full experience."

Rose’s Personal Journey as a Mom

Rose is a mom to two young children, Rocco, who’s two years old, and Rafa, who’s just one. She’s also a stepmom to her partner Bobby Cannavale’s son, Jack. Rose recently shared that becoming a mother has changed her life in profound ways. "Being a mother changes everything," she said. "You're constantly thinking about your kids, and that thought process influences everything else in your life. It truly informs everything you do, from the choices you make to the way you view the world."
