The British-born Beef Season 2 star shares three kids with husband Marcus Mumford of Mumford & Sons, and while she keeps her family life largely private, she says that her tykes have each impacted her work onscreen (as well as, obviously, her life at home offscreen).
Part of her change in attitude is her approach to growing older. In 2026, she told the New York Times that her kids don't really understand Hollywood's—and sports'—fear of aging.
Get to know the little ones who keep Mulligan humble.
Mulligan told the The Times of London in 2018 that balancing work and motherhood—including cooking dinner for her children every night—leaves her exhausted by 7:30 p.m. most days.
"It impacts you a lot but definitely since having kids," she said. "It's just impossible to imagine my kids having to go through anything like what these kids have experienced. They're incredible, so many of them have a joy and desire to learn. That's what really strikes me when I'm on trips with War Child, is that you never see a kid who doesn't want to be in school. The desire to be the best in their class, to know the answer to the question—everyone wants to be learning. There's a real hunger for education and there's nobody who's taking it lightly."
How old was Carey Mulligan when she had her third child?
Mulligan and Mumford's third child's exact birthdate isn't publicly known. That said, Mulligan was born on May 28, 1985, so depending on exactly when their second daughter was born in 2023, Mulligan was either 37 or 38 years old at the time.
Mulligan's eldest child is her daughter Evelyn Grace Mumford. Her son's name is Wilfred Mumford. Her third child, a girl, hasn't had her name made public.
Who are Carey Mulligan's children?
“The first time I did press after I’d had my daughter, she was one month old,” Mulligan recalled to the Times. “I literally ran to the red carpet, did it, ran home, pulled off my dress and fed her in my Spanx and six-inch heels.”
"It was either cancel the whole thing or just get on and do it," she explained. "And that—and a combination of lots of other things, and help and support from everyone around me—was my light." She added that playing journalist Megan Twohey, who broke the Harvey Weinstein serial sexual assault, harassment and misconduct scandals for the New York Times, helped her as well, because Twohey also overcame postpartum depression.
In 2018, Mulligan told the Times that she was physically strong thanks to carrying Evelyn and Wilfred up five flights of stairs to the family's apartment, but that watching them grow up in front of her eyes also makes her hyper-aware of her own age.
She added that Evelyn specifically kept her humble and keeps her vanity in check.

Wilfred Mumford
Mulligan told InStyle in 2020, “My favorite game to play is filling a tray of toys with water and putting it in the freezer overnight, and then the kids get to ‘rescue’ their toys. They love it and it takes hours.”
In April 2026, Mulligan revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that her and Mumford's kids also enjoy touring with their dad—but that the rock and roll stereotype doesn't apply to their family.

Unnamed daughter
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight in November 2023, Mulligan described her baby girl as "Great. Good baby, 10 out of 10, so far."
"We were on the same flight over, and I got to snuggle her delicious baby, who I got to just sort of bite her cheeks," Blunt said. "She is so beautiful."
In January 2025, Mulligan revealed to PEOPLE that she had her then-newborn daughter with her on the set of the film The Ballad of Wallis Island and appreciated the production team's accommodations for her when she was newly postpartum.
