Chloë Sevigny Gets Candid About The 'Hardest Part' Of Motherhood And 'Irrational Fears'

Chloë Sevigny recently opened up about motherhood, emphasizing the difficulties of working as a mom and irrational fears when away from her 3-year-old son.

Sevigny made the confession during the red carpet premiere of her new FX miniseries, "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans," which will be released on January 31, promising drama and luxury.

During an interview with Page Six, Chloë Sevigny got candid about the challenges of balancing motherhood and work and admitted to feelings of guilt when separated from her 3-year-old son for work.

The 49-year-old actress revealed that "the hardest part [of motherhood] is being away and not feeling guilty."

She told the news outlet: "I'm trying to work through that and irrational fears, [they're] the worst … Micro-stresses, the worst!" Sevigny then described her son's daily check-ins as "a joy."

In a 2022 interview with The Independent, the "American Psycho" actress shared the complexities of being an actress supporting her family financially.

"I could cry just thinking about the fact that I'm a damn actress, and my career has to pay our mortgage," Sevigny said. "I mean, I can't complain. I'm very privileged, but there is something enviable about the nine-to-fivers when you have a kid. I'm trying to navigate the mom guilt, but it's pretty daunting."

Sevigny embraced motherhood in May 2020 when she welcomed her son, Vanja, amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Announcing her bundle of joy to the world, the actress shared a snap of her and her husband cuddling their baby with the heartfelt caption, "Welcome to the world."

She expressed gratitude to the medical staff at Mt. Sinai East, adding: "Thank you to all the staff at Mt. Sinai East for your bravery, perseverance, and kindness, especially the nurses for being so gentle and patient. Blessings to all the other families giving birth during this time."

Sevigny and her husband, Sinisa Mackovic, secretly tied the knot in a New York City courthouse two months before Vanja's birth. The lovebirds later celebrated their union with a traditional church service in front of friends and family two years after their initial courthouse ceremony.

Sevigny currently graces the screen as socialite C.Z. Guest in the forthcoming FX miniseries, "Feud." The series delves into Truman Capote's clash with a group of socialites who felt betrayed by his unflattering portrayals in an excerpt of his unfinished book "Answered Prayers." Most severed ties with Capote, but Guest, the only "swan" who continued speaking to him, intrigued Sevigny.

The Oscar nominee suggested that Guest "came from money and wasn't as much of a fighter as [the other socialites]."

"She had a different kind of air of privilege to her. She didn't just marry into wealth, she came from wealth," Sevigny noted.

The star-studded premiere included Demi Moore, Molly Ringwald, Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, and Tom Hollander, with The Plaza Hotel hosting the afterparty reminiscent of Capote's 1966 Black and White Ball.

Beyond the captivating storyline, the series guarantees a spectacle of drama and opulence in onscreen fashion.

Scheduled to premiere on FX on Wednesday, January 31, the eight-episode limited series is set to deliver a narrative complemented by extravagant and stylish visuals.

Appearing on "The Tonight Show" for the promotion of "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans" on Monday, Sevigny radiated elegance in a voluminous little black dress.

The Simone Rocha creation, part of the Spring/Summer 2024 ready-to-wear collection, formed a giant, airy bow, sliding off one shoulder for an asymmetrical silhouette.

The actress paired the silky piece with black Christian Louboutin pumps and diamond drop earrings, keeping it simple yet chic. Her hair was put in a bun with curled strands framing her face.

During her appearance, Sevigny discussed her role in Ryan Murphy's "Feud," exploring the glamorous lives of high-society "Swans" betrayed by Capote's exposé.

"They were very glamorous ladies, fashionable and kind of precursors to influencers," she said. "Then [Capote] wrote a story throwing them all under the bus."
