Cate Blanchett offered rare insight into her relationship with motherhood as she posed for a stunning shoot with Harper’s Bazaar’s Spain.

The actress, 55, shares sons, Dashiell, 23, Roman, 20, and Ignatius, 16, with her husband of 27 years Andrew Upton, and they adopted daughter Edith in 2015.

Cate told the publication that despite her love and ‘adoration’ for her family she realises that being a mother is ‘not all that she is.’

She explained: ‘I love my children. Motherhood is a vital part of who I am, but it is not all that I am. 

‘I think there are many people who are a mother to communities in the workplace. It is equality, it is a sense of care, respect and nurturing. 

‘If we all developed a greater sense of motherhood , in the best possible way, men and women, the world would be a better place.’

Cate and Andrew currently reside at a £5million country estate near Crowborough, East SusSєx, and in 2020 they purchased a £1.6million holiday home in Cornwall.

During the interview, Cate also spoke about her role in psychological thriller Disclaimer, an Apple TV+ series where she stars as a renowned journalist who is forced to confront her dark past. 

Speaking about the show, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination earlier this month, she said: ‘I knew from the beginning that it was going to be provocative and polarizing, because it’s becoming increasingly clear that there are many wars in the world, but one that’s going on is the war of narratives, the battle for a singular truth and who gets to control it. 

‘And that’s very much what Alfonso Cuarón is playing with as a director and screenwriter. It’s been fascinating to watch the conversation around it.’ 

Cate also put on a glamorous display in a black-and-white shoot for the magazine, posing up a storm in an elegant black silk top and velvet trousers.

The sighting comes after Cate shocked with a dramatic transformation for her next big screen feature.

Fans might have to do a double take when they see the Blue Jasmine star in her new film Black Bag.

The upcoming American spy thriller for Focus Feature is directed by Steven Soderbergh, known for the likes of Erin Brockovich, Logan Lucky, Magic Mike, and the iconic Ocean’s Trilogy.
