Penélope Cruz: My Family Will Always Be a Priority

It’s not even three months since she gave birth to her daughter, Luna, so Penélope Cruz knows all about the difficult balancing act that working moms struggle with.

“I’ve always been a very family person, since I was a little girl, that’s the way I was raised,” Cruz, 36, said during Saturday’s London press conference for her new movie The Counselor. “So that will always be a priority. But I have to work, like everyone else, so I will

find a way to balance.”

The mom of two – who debuted her post-baby slim-down in a figure-hugging Temperly London gown earlier this week – wore a red-hot Nina Ricci suit as she promoted her new film, which also stars Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz and Michael Fassbender.

Cruz’s husband, Javier Bardem, also has a role in the film, but the couple do not have any scenes together, “unfortunately,” Bardem said.
