The couple welcomed their daughter on Sept. 15, 2015, and later their son in August 2017. At the time of her daughter's birth, Mulligan joked that the lessons she would impart to her were "no makeup, no piercings, no tattoos."
Last year, Mulligan chatted with PEOPLE about her role in the film She Said and opened up about her experience coping with postpartum depression after the birth of her first child.
In the film, Mulligan plays New York Times investigative reporter Meghan Twohey, who, with journalist Jodi Kantor (played by Zoe Kazan), published a bombshell Harvey Weinstein investigation in 2017 that would go on to spur a worldwide #MeToo reckoning.
When Twohey took up the towering investigation with Kantor, she was on maternity leave coping with postpartum depression, and Mulligan told PEOPLE: "One of the parts of the script that hit me initially the most was Megan's experience with postnatal depression. I had a very similar experience with my first child seven years ago, and felt very alone, and very scared, and also very confused by the whole experience."
For Mulligan, "it was really going back to work in some form," shooting the 2015 film Suffragette, "that was the thing that got me on the road to finding myself again with incredible support around me."
