”Everything About Motherhood is Surprising” – Pop Star Paulina Rubio Reveals as she Covers Latest Issue of Nexos Magazine

Mexican pop singer, Paulina Rubio graces the covers of the latest issue of Nexos magazine. In an interview with the magazine, the 45-year-old super mum opens up about family life with her cute little sons, Nicolás, 6, and Eros, 10 months.

On motherhood:

“I always wanted to have babies, but I wanted to have them when I wanted to. All of my friends were quick to have babies, my mother was a very young mom. I wanted to develop myself more. I was able to choose when I wanted to have them, and I’m very happy. Everything about motherhood is surprising. The love you feel for them from the very first moment.

It’s very dramatic and the same time it brings you so much joy. I didn’t want any help with the babies for the first six months and it’s exhausting. I’m a very controlling person and I know that’s not ideal. I’m working on it. But no one was going to take care of my babies but me.”

On how motherhood changed her:

“It was the best thing for me. I had felt like a narcissist. Me, me, me all day long. And then you have a baby, and everything’s about him, thank God. For me it was like giving my mind a vacation. I started [my career] very, very, very young.”

On enjoying life with her cute boys:

“I was born in Mexico City, and maybe because I was born in one of the world’s biggest cities, nature, the ocean, anything outdoors is what relaxes me most. I’ve got my bike and my skates, and now that I have the babies, I’m more active than ever. I’m really a hands-on mom.”

On keeping her figure in check:

”I do a monthly detox with green juice. And I really like to walk at night. It relaxes and inspires me. I’m very nocturnal. Sometimes I have insomnia and I try to get things done, personal and professional. I write a lot at night, and I love to have my space, my time, when the boys are asleep.

I don’t like to go to events much. It must be because I’m an artist and I make my living in concerts and events, so I try to avoid them. I’d rather invite you over to my house and make some pasta and open a bottle of wine than be in the spotlight.

My mom is my soul mate. I think that my mother is key, my family is key, my spiritual growth is key. Family support is important no matter what your career, but even more so when your profession is very intense, very solitary, and, at times, very cruel. It has soaring ups, but also downs. It’s a roller coaster.”
