Kate Beckinsale became emotional as she responded to unkind critics targeting her appearance. The 52-year-old actress took to social media to address those commenting on her recent transformation.
Expressing her sorrow, Kate revealed the heart-wrenching reason for her significant weight loss. Through an Instagram post, she disclosed that she had endured an extremely challenging year.
This revelation coincided with the passing of her mother, Judy Loe, earlier in the year due to cancer. Kate attributed her weight loss to the profound impact of losing her mother and stepfather within a year, causing her body to shut down emotionally.
In a vulnerable moment, wiping away tears, Kate shared, “2025 was a really, really hard year. It was also the last year that my incredible mum was on this planet. So I feel really torn about letting go of it as well.”
Reflecting on her past losses, Kate recounted the pain of witnessing her father’s death at a young age and the subsequent passings of her stepfather and mother. She acknowledged the immense suffering she had witnessed, leading to a loss of appetite due to grief rather than a conscious effort to restrict food intake.
Kate pondered on the feelings of survivor’s guilt following her stepfather’s death and how the trauma and shock had impacted her physically. She emphasized that the profound experiences of watching loved ones endure agonizing deaths had left her with little desire for food.
Earlier this year, Kate shared the heartbreaking news of her mother’s passing, revealing that she was overwhelmed with grief. Despite not specifying the cause of her mother’s death initially, Kate later disclosed that her mother had battled stage four cancer for two years.
In a touching tribute on social media, Kate expressed her mother’s vibrant spirit and the difficulty of accepting her absence. She described the emotional turmoil of saying goodbye and the unexpected comfort found in the celebratory funeral that honored her mother’s life.
Kate concluded by noting the uplifting atmosphere of the funeral, highlighting the outpouring of love and joy that celebrated her mother’s legacy.
