Sienna Miller Opens Up About the ''Curse of Motherhood'' and Her Split from Tom Sturridge

Sienna Miller talked about parenthood and her recent split from Tom Sturridge with British Vogue for the October issue of the magazine.

After giving birth in 2012, the 33 year old actress admitted that being a mother has been an exhausting process for her.

She said, "Obviously when you have a baby it's the most incredible experience but your life is also catapulted into this chaos and you are exhausted. I could literally get on this table and fall asleep."

Miller, who is juggling her career with raising her kid, Marlowe, described her overwhelming experience as "the curse of motherhood."

"I'd like to be better at managing things; I'd like to be more super-although we're never going to feel it, even if we are," she said. "That's the curse of motherhood-we just run ourselves ragged."

"I'm just trying to get a sense of what that guilt is. I sometimes feel like it's a totally invented emotion. It's strange to be punishing ourselves this way. It's not healthy," she added.

She also opened up about her recent split from Tom Sturridge, the father of her child. The pair ended their relationship in July after being engaged for three years.

"It's been really quite overwhelming recently, just with the volume of everything going on," she told the mag. "Everything is shifting. It's actually been the s--ttiest year, and amazing. It's always yin and yang. I feel like if you're excelling in one area, it's hard to manage both and I do feel like the work is going really well."

Miller and Sturridge announced their engagement in 2012 and welcomed their daughter six months later. However, the couple reportedly had been fighting in recent months and decided to break apart. Amid the split though, they remained friends for their daughter, Marlowe, according to E! Online.
