Thalía: Sabrina is a Singing Sensation

Jimmy Lenner, Jr.

Since becoming a mother when she welcomed Sabrina Sakaë, now 19 months, life for Thalía has been full of surprises. While her 33-hour labor may have been an unpleasant — and very unexpected — one, the songstress has since been basking in the marvels of motherhood. In a new interview with The Boston Globe, Thalía reveals that her daughter is already showing great talent when it comes to belting out her baby voice on her mama’s tracks!

“She’s singing a little bit of Amor a la Mexicana. She sings the ends of some of the others too, but mostly she dances to them.”

For a woman who enjoys motherhood as much as she does, the 37-year-old realizes that, for her, starting a family came later in life. According to the actress, with a career that took off when she was only a toddler, there was little time to concentrate on anything other than show business. “Seriously, there’s a biological clock that everyone talks about and you really start to feel it,” she explains.

“I thought, this is a great moment for me and I was feeling the clock and knew now was the time.”

Fortunately, the addition of baby Sabrina has only inspired Thalía’s music in more ways than the proud mama could ever have imagined. “Having a baby makes you want to connect with humanity in a more sincere and honest way,” she says. “I’m not saying that before I didn’t do that, because before I did all kinds of romantic, profound, and touching songs, but now it’s a different approach.”

Sabrina is Thalía’s first child with husband, music executive Tommy Mottola. Her new book, Thalía: ¡Radiante!, is available now.

Rachel Weisz Went Without the Baby Books

When most mothers discover they are expecting their first child, trips to the bookstore or late-night searches online often become a normal routine. The same, however, cannot be said for actress Rachel Weisz who skipped the pregnancy literature all together! “I think the most incredible thing for me was that I didn’t read any books about how to be a mom,” she tells PARADE. Instead, the 39-year-old proudly admits she relied on none other than her natural, gut feelings.

“Your instinct kicks in and it’s like you’re tapping knowledge that you have in your DNA.”

After all, Rachel says, she is not alone in her journey through motherhood and has simply joined forces with “the millions and millions of women on the planet who are working moms,” as she struggles to find a balance between spending time with son Henry Chance, 3 this month, and nurturing her acting career.

Fortunately for Rachel, show business has made the responsibilities of motherhood all that much easier. Considering herself among the lucky few that can easily bring her child to work, the actress realizes that her childcare solutions are not a reality for most mothers. “If you work in an office or a factory, your kids can’t come visit you during the day,” she explains. “On films there’s a lot of down time so he’s with me a lot.”

That said, Rachel laughs that she has found a fault in keeping her little boy on set all day. “The only problem is that everyone is spoiling him rotten,” she laughs.

Henry is the only child for Rachel and fiancé Darren Aronofsky.
