Parenthood changed everything for Alicia Vikander.

The Firebrand actress offered rare insight into her life as mom to her and husband Michael Fassbender's 3-year-old son.

"Becoming a parent changes you in a second, when the child arrives," Vikander exclusively told E! News' Francesca Amiker. "I, for sure, now have a lot more insight and especially all the worries."

The actress continued, "I think it also gives you extra strength because it's like it's beyond you. It's not just you or survival. You need to stay alive to make sure that you can take care of these young children."

The Tomb Raider star, 35, and Fassbender, 47, met in 2014 on the set of the movie The Light Between Oceans. After keeping their engagement private, the actors married in Ibiza in 2017. 

In 2021, Vikander revealed that she and Fassbender welcomed their first baby, whose name has not been made public. "I now have a whole new understand­ing of life in general," she told People at the time. "That's pretty beautiful and obviously will give a lot to any of my work in the future."

The following year, Vikander gave more insight into her motherhood experience while also revealing that her and Fassbender's child is a boy. "He's learning to walk," she told Harper's Bazaar UK. "So, it's good there's carpet everywhere."

She also spoke about how she and Fassbender always travel together with their son. "That's the rule," she said. "We do jobs so one of us can always be with the baby."

Roadside Attractions is set to release Vikander's latest film Firebrand in theaters nationally June 14.

Read on to look back at Vikander and Fassbender's road to romance...

Back in November 2014, a source told E! News exclusively that the lovebirds were "casually dating." Around that time, the actors were spotted catching some waves together at Bondi Beach in Sydney. 

Alicia and Michael met on the set of The Light Between Oceans, a psychological drama that finally received its September 2016 release date two years after filming wrapped. 

Notoriously tight-lipped when it comes to their relationship, the duo proved they were still going strong when they attended the 2015 Infiniti Red Bull Racing Energy Station in Monte Carlo together. 

Jet-setters! Fans of the longtime couple couldn't help but gush over Michael and Alicia's relationship taking a seemingly serious turn.

The Tomb Raider star kicked off the 2016 awards season by stepping out for dinner with her leading man ahead of the BAFTAs in London. 

These two couldn't keep their eyes of each other while spotted at the 2016 Venice Film Festival.

In The Light Between Oceans, the real-life couple play childless spouses who raise a baby they've rescue from a rowboat as their own. Naturally, complications ensue. 

While promoting their latest film, the stars stepped out at the Venice Film Festival in September 2016 looking every inch joyously in love.

Alicia and Michael were all smiles as they walked the 2016 Venice Film Festival red carpet together with their arms around each other.
