Rachel McAdams calls her son a ‘very welcome distraction’ as she opens up about being a mom during quarantine
Rachel McAdams rarely talks in public about her son with partner Jamie Linden.
But the Academy Award nominee opened up about making the most of the extra family time as she quarantines amid the coronavirus pandemic.
She gushed about her two-year-old, who she said is a ‘very welcome distraction’ as she isolates at home.

The 41-year-old gave a glimpse at her home life this week on the LHSF Canada Steam-a-thon, raising money for the COVID-19 Response Fund.
She said: ‘I have a very welcome distraction in my son, who is two. So, that’s pretty much what I do… all the time.
McAdams added: ‘It’s true, he’s so entertaining! I thought about that, ‘Would I rather be alone in quarantine? Or with my family?’
‘You know, there are days sure, but I mean I would be so bored without him around to make it so fun.’

The Mean Girls star also revealed that they’re enjoying some country living, which is perfect for a toddler during quarantine.
She said: ‘We live sort of out in the country, a little farm down the road, so we can go and look at the animals.
‘We’ve been doing some planting, some okra, well, I mean, I do the planting and he snacks most of the day.’
McAdams welcomed her son in 2018 with producer Linden, 39, with whom she was first romantically linked in 2016.
She later told The Sunday Times that they’re raising him away from the public eye: ‘I want to keep his life private, even if mine isn’t.’
