Katherine Heigl says the best "way to start the day" is cuddling with her children.
The 38-year-old actress is mother to adopted daughters Nancy, eight, and Adalaide, four, as well as three-month-old son Joshua Kelley Jr. – whom she has with her husband and singer Joshua Kelley – and has said there’s no better way to wake up in the morning than to "snuggle" with her brood.
Posting an adorable snap of her and her children in bed on Instagram, the ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star wrote: "My morning snuggle buddies! My favorite way to start the day is with these three! #morningbliss#savoreverymoment #thoseheavenlydays (sic)"
Katherine’s morning cuddles are no doubt good news for the ‘Knocked Up’ actress as she recently admitted she finds it difficult being away from her children when she headed to CinemaCon in Las Vegas last month, her first trip away since giving birth to her son.
She said of her son: "This is the first time that I have left him. He’s just a little over three months now and I’m just here for one day and I thought, ‘You know, it’s irresponsible of me to, like, disrupt his whole schedule for one day just because I have an issue.’
"He’s totally fine without me and I have a problem, so I’m trying to be the grown up here and make the right decision on his behalf. Oh, I’m sure [I’m having a tougher time than he is]. I already Facetimed him from the airport."
And it isn’t just Joshua she misses when she’s away either, as the blonde beauty also said she felt "especially sad" being away from her daughters.
She added: "I should have moved things along because I was late and I needed to get going to make sure I got my flight this morning, but my middle [child], who used to be my baby, gave me this rare like snuggle session this morning.
"She’s not much of a snuggler, like, she’s more of a daddy’s girl, and she’ll come to me for a kiss or two, but never really snuggle snuggles. So I got that this morning too, so now I’m feeling especially sad and missing my babies."
