Leslie Mann Reveals Mistake of No Self-Care When Raising Kids Maude, Iris

Leslie Mann wasn’t exactly taking spa weekends while raising her kids.

The This Is 40 star got candid about how she approached motherhood back when her daughters Maude Apatow, 28, and Iris Apatow, 23—who she shares with husband Judd Apatow—were younger and why it left her with little time to prioritize her own needs.

“When my kids were little, I didn’t have self-care,” Mann told E! News in an exclusive joint interview with Spa Weekend costars Isla Fisher, Anna Faris and Michelle Buteau. “I didn’t even know how to do it. I didn’t even think of myself, because I just didn’t—and that was a mistake. I think it’s important to at least sleep.”

These days, the 54-year-old is able to make more time to focus on her own self-care.

“Now that my kids are older, I’m better with it,” she explained. “I have more time for myself. I don’t know how you do it when you’re a mom of young kids.”

“But, also, I have a 28-year-old now and a 23-year-old,” Mann added later, “and they’re awesome.”
