‘Honestly I was a little terrified’ – Jay Anstey on being a new mom

Legacy’s Jay Anstey, who plays Alexandra ‘Lexi’ Price in the telenovela, gave birth to her and Sean-Marco Vorster’s daughter on 6 December 2021 and when she was a mere nine days old, they gathered the courage to take her out into the big wide world. “Honestly I was a little terrified,” wrote the actress in an Instagram post.

But, in the end, it seems to have been a very successful outing and Anstey says she “felt like somewhat of a person again.”

The actress, who plays one of the three Price sisters who all fell pregnant last year, says that being a new mom is tough and that she has a great amount of respect for women and mothers for sticking it out through sleepless nights, endless opinions on how to raise your children, criticism, spit up, doubts and more. “It’s such a journey.”
