Speaking to Vanity Fair, Michelle said: "I always say to Matilda: 'Your dad loved me before anybody thought I was talented, or pretty, or had nice clothes."

And, as a result, Michelle says she's raised Matilda with the philosophy of being accepting of herself.

She said: "When you’re a single parent, and that element of provider and protection is missing, it’s scary. I never gave up on love. I work to be free inside of the moment. I parent to let Matilda feel free to be herself."

So lovely. 💕
