Alexandra Daddario, known for her enchanting roles in Mayfair Witches and Percy Jackson, is celebrating a new kind of magic in her life: motherhood. Just two weeks after welcoming her first child with husband Andrew Form, the 38-year-old actress took to Instagram to share a candid glimpse into her postpartum journey.
In the heartfelt post, Daddario stood in front of a mirror, her newborn—a rainbow baby—nestled snugly against her chest. She beamed with pride, capturing a moment that resonated deeply with fans and fellow mothers alike. “I play a witch on TV and gave birth on Halloween,” she wrote, “but nothing could have prepared me for the magic, and scares, of postpartum.”
Her words, raw and uplifting, struck a chord with many as she shared her experience just six days after giving birth. “THIS is what it looks like for me six days after giving birth to my magical little baby,” Daddario continued, embracing the reality of her postpartum body with pride. “Women’s bodies are amazing, and I’ve never felt more proud of mine.”
Daddario’s journey to motherhood has not been without its challenges. In a July interview with Vogue, she opened up about her past miscarriage and the emotional toll it took. “Those kinds of losses and trauma are very hard to explain unless you’ve been through them,” she shared. “It’s very, very painful.” Her transparency about such a deeply personal struggle made her celebration of new motherhood even more poignant.
In her Instagram post, Daddario extended love and solidarity to other new moms navigating their postpartum journeys. “So much love to all the new moms out there leaning into their new powers (and new @fridamom undies)!” she wrote, adding a touch of humor and relatability to her message.
Daddario announced the arrival of her baby on November 1, revealing that she had given birth on Halloween—a fitting date for the actress who famously portrays a witch. The little one joins a blended family that includes Form’s two children from his previous marriage. While the couple has kept the baby’s name and gender private, the joy and gratitude in Daddario’s words spoke volumes.
Her post wasn’t just a celebration of new life—it was also a tribute to the resilience of mothers. The term “rainbow baby” refers to a child born after a miscarriage or loss, and Daddario’s journey has been a testament to perseverance, healing, and hope. By sharing her postpartum experience, she not only celebrated her own strength but also inspired others to embrace the transformative power of motherhood.
As Daddario adjusts to life with her newborn, her openness and authenticity continue to resonate with fans, offering a glimpse into the personal triumphs behind her public persona. For the actress, this chapter is a reminder of the magic that comes with embracing every part of the journey—challenges, scars, and all. “Women’s bodies are amazing,” she declared, and in that moment, she reminded everyone of the incredible strength found in motherhood.
