Felicity Jones Talks About Holiday Stress with Her and Charles Guard's Children

Felicity Jones is diving into the festive season with a mix of excitement and chaos. The Rogue One actress discussed how she and her husband, Charles Guard, manage the holidays while raising their 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter, whose names they prefer to keep private. She mentioned that this years celebrations will largely follow the same routine as previous years.

Its going to be just like it always is, Jones shared during an interview at the premiere of her new film Oh. What. Fun. in New York City on December 2. Every year, people stress out over small things, like whether the food is hot enough or if it burns. But that quest for perfection is part of the fun of the season.

This theme is also central to her latest holiday movie, premiering December 3 on Prime Video. The story follows a devoted mother, played by Michelle Pfeiffer, who goes missing and disrupts her familys meticulously planned Christmas. Jones emphasized the invisible labor involved in family life, saying, Often, one person stays up late wrapping gifts and handling everything. The movie is a reminder that everyone should pitch in so no single person bears the entire burden.

For Felicity and Charles, married since 2018, balancing work, parenting, and holiday preparations is a continuous effort. The actress previously mentioned that despite the demands of motherhood, she makes time for herself whenever possible. With two very young children keeping me indoors most of the time, I cherish moments to go out. But usually, Im in bed early to wake up at 4:30 a.m. the next day, she told People in December 2024.

Jones reflections highlight the universal challenges and joys of parenting during the holidays, emphasizing the mix of stress, love, and shared responsibility that defines family life at this time of year.
