“My water broke in the middle of the night at seven months,” the actress told Redbook magazine in 2015, three years before she and the Guardians of the Galaxy actor divorced. “We rushed to the hospital and they were able to halt active labor with magnesium.”
She said she was supposed to be there for a month until doctors planned to deliver Jack. “But on the seventh day, I went into labor again,” she said. “I was in denial. For hours I was like, ‘I’m just having indigestion.’ Chris and I were so scared, but when Jack came out, even though he was so tiny, he looked so good to us.”
Jack turned 12 in August. “Happy Birthday to my wonderful son Jack,” Chris wrote on Instagram at the time, including pics of the pre-teen feeding and tending to animals at the actor’s farm on the San Juan Islands in Washington State. “I thank God every day for you sweet boy.”
The Jurassic World star continued, “You are so smart, hilarious, kind, thoughtful, trustworthy and tough. I love you so much kiddo. Twelve!? I honestly can’t believe it.”
