Back in March, Kerry opened up to Elle magazine about how playing hercharacter Olivia Pope on the popular ABC drama series helped prepare her for motherhood. "Even though Olivia Pope has obviously made the decisionthat she is not a mom," she said, referring to Olivia’s choice to have anabortion, "playing her made me feel like I could be a mom. Because she knows there's always anotherway—there's always a way to fix it, there's always a way to solve it, to win.And I feel like playing her made me feel like, All right, I can do it. I will figure out how to juggle it all.”

Last year, the actress admitted to Entertainment Tonightthat she has changed since giving birth to her daughter. She said, “The thing that has changed the most about me since Ibecame a mom is that my heart keeps getting bigger and bigger."

STARS EXPECTING BABIES IN 2016

Kerry is known for being notoriously private. At the 2016 SXSW Music, Film + Interactive, the TV star said, "I don't talk about my personal life."

Her statement echoed a previous interview in 2013 with Glamour magazine. At the time she told the publication, "I learned through experience that it doesn't work for me to talk about my personal life. I've had earlier times in my career when I did talk about it. I was on the cover of a bridal magazine [InStyle Weddings, in 2005, when Washington was engaged to actor David Moscow]. But I couldn't just turn around and say, "I only want to talk about the good stuff, but not the bad stuff." So I just thought, OK, no more."
