Zoë Kravitz has hinted that she could step away from Hollywood to become a mother, as she spoke about the scrutiny around her relationship with Harry Styles.
Posing for a stunning cover shoot with British Vogue, the actress, 37, insisted she doesn’t want to pursue her passions while ‘having a kid at the same time,’ and said she would focus her ‘energy’ on one of the two.
During the interview, Zoë also spoke about her relationship with Harry Styles, amid speculation the couple are set to tie the knot in the coming months.
Zoë said she likes to be pragmatic around the expectations of balancing her work with motherhood.
She said: ‘You just kind of have to be realistic. If I want to do something well, I have to focus on it.
‘Knowing myself, I’m not going to have a kid and direct movies at exactly the same time. You just have to decide where you want your energy to be.

‘I think that I’m hyper-aware of the fact that I’m going to die one day.
‘The other day, I was walking past this woman, she was very old and she was walking so slow. The fact that I can just walk up a flight of stairs with no problem is amazing. Someday I might not be able to.’
Zoë then went on to reference her relationship with Harry, following reports that the couple are planning an ‘intimate’ winter wedding in the UK.
The Big Little Lies star, who previously dated Channing Tatum, was asked what it’s like to fall in love in the public eye.
She said: ‘I think doing anything in the public eye is uncomfortable.’
The star said she is aware of the interest surrounding her love life, saying: ‘I’m aware it’s happening… I’m aware of all the ingredients that create the thing that we’re talking about. But that doesn’t mean you’re necessarily OK with it.’
‘There are moments obviously when you just want to hide because it feels overwhelming.
‘And then there are moments when you, whether it’s in a defiant way, are like, ”I’m going to walk and get my coffee and you’re not going to take that away from me.”

Harry is believed to be engaged to Zoë after a whirlwind eight-month romance – with the star pictured in April with an enormous diamond ring on her wedding finger.
According to Page Six the couple are mulling over ‘a small wedding in front of just family and close friends in the UK around Christmas time’.
A source told the publication: ‘I know for a fact Zoë would want to do something in New York because of her dad Lenny, so if anything it’s going to be two weddings.
‘Dad still lives in downtown [Manhattan]. It could be at the Fouquet’s Hotel. If she does two [weddings] it would be one in London and one in New York.’
A different source previously said: ‘Zoë is already thinking about the wedding. She wants something unique and has started discussing ideas for outfits, themes and designs.
‘She’s torn between a very intimate ceremony — possibly even eloping — and a larger celebration with all their loved ones, though a bigger wedding may ultimately win out.’
They added to The Sun: ‘She talks about it all the time — beautiful locations like Paris or the French Riviera, lots of flowers, stunning outfits, and a celebration that lasts all day and night, surrounded by love.’
The Daily Mail has contacted Harry Styles’s and Zoe Kravitz’s representatives for comment.
A small wedding for just close friends and family may be a good thing after One Direction bandmate Niall Horan revealed that he won’t be attending the nuptials.
Niall, 32, was asked about the upcoming nuptials during a recent radio interview, but joked he was ‘too busy’ to attend Harry’s big day.
Speculation surrounding Harry’s wedding is mounting with sources saying the couple have been eyeing up locations in the south of France or Italy.
Zoë recently debuted a stunning diamond on her ring finger during an appearance in Hampstead, and it was later revealed that Harry proposed to her with a massive sparkler rumoured to cost around $1million.
She was previously engaged to actor Channing Tatum, but they ended their relationship in October 2024. Zoe was married to actor Karl Glusman from June 2019 to December 2020.
