Jordana Brewster is thankful for surrogacy because without it, she would not have these two beautiful boys.

She Suggests Surrogacy

Brewster advises couples who are trying to conceive that they should go for surrogacy if that is the only way to get pregnant. She admits that when she found out that she could get pregnant by it, she got empowered. 

Although she finds it hard to explain to her kids how they were formed as they grow bigger every day, she still feels lucky enough to be given an option because if not, then she would not have her two beautiful boys. She added that she loves them more than anything in this world. 

Motherhood is Not Easy

Brewster said that being a mom is not easy. At first, she thought that she would be a chill mom; however, she is "pretty neurotic". She said that having kids makes her anxious, making her appreciate the wonderful effects meditation does to her. 

She added that her children are just like her, especially her firstborn, Julian. Her six-and-half-year-old son always questions things that keep Brewster on her toes. 

Brewster strives hard to be a good mom and not to take mothering too far that it makes her neurotic. She said that it helps that she has friends that she can talk to about similar issues as her. Although she said that she has too few "mom" friends and she admits she needs to have more of them.

Career and Motherhood

One thing that she finds hard to do is balancing her career and motherhood. Her nanny told her a few days ago that to be away for six weeks from her kids is a long time. The thought stuck with her for 48 hours, said the 39-year-old mom to NewBeautymagazine.

"The Fast and The Furious" actress asked her nanny what she meant because she said that both she and her husband have commitments at work. However, she and her husband had to process what her nanny said, so they had a mini-therapy session. 

The former "As The World Turns" actress said that after having internalization, she felt really bad about the whole work-family thing. 

Turning 40 Gracefully

As Brewster turns 40, she does not worry, for she looks up to celebrities who turned her age but "killed it" in Hollywood. She is inspired by how Sandra Bullock and Gwyneth Paltrow maintain their beauty despite being older than her.

Admittedly, she said that when she was younger, she used to worry that her career might suffer as she ages, but not anymore. She said that she would instead celebrate growing old rather than worrying about it. She is excited about her upcoming birthday. 

Her Mom's Beauty Advice

Brewster said that her mom is so elegant and has aged far more gracefully than her because her mom did not undergo any surgery. However, because the high definition is invented, she has no choice but to do some cosmetology makeover. Her mom has not resorted to any "craziness" like her because her mom makes sure to eat healthily, get enough sleep, and follow a specific routine.
