Waddingham said, according to Glamour.
The performer also reflected on the initial adjustment to raising her daughter after her separation from Cugnetto.
“Of course, I never intended to be a single mother, but luckily I’m still on good terms with my daughter’s father, which is important.

Our relationship ended when our daughter was around two and a half years old.
It felt like the rug was pulled from underneath me, but I had to make the decision not to be weakened by it,” she said.
Waddingham acknowledged the ongoing balancing act between professional demands and parenting.
“I do believe that when you painfully shut one door, the sun shines through the cracks of another and you have to go to it.
Of course, some days I think that I’m an absolutely rubbish mother because I go out to work strange hours and I can’t always be with my girl, and I do believe women particularly have inherent guilt.
But I’m learning to feel pride in my work and that can only be a positive thing to teach my daughter—just as I saw my mother working, my daughter now sees me, and so it continues,” Waddingham said.
Speaking on industry confidence and stature, she previously recalled navigating physical presence in television and theater roles.
“Never slouch – physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually – never slouch for anyone, ever. Because I feel like I did for a long time, to feel like you fit in.
