The actor Jessie Buckley says she wasn’t surprised that she got pregnant right after she finished shooting “Hamnet.” The film — starring Paul Mescal as William Shakespeare and Buckley as his wife, Agnes — tells the story of a couple grieving the loss of their only son. “When I was filming ‘Hamnet,’ I deeply wanted to become a mother,” Buckley says. “And it was such a gift to move through this woman and her motherhood and her love and her loss before I became a mother myself.”On this episode of “Modern Love,” Buckley describes how she was able to access the vulnerability she portrayed onscreen. And she talks about how her life has changed since having her own child. Plus, she reads the Modern Love essay <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/20/fashion/20love.html" target="_blank">“The Wrong Kind of Inheritance”</a> by Victoria Dougherty.<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/article/how-to-submit-a-modern-love-essay.html" target="_blank">How to submit a Modern Love Essay</a> to The New York Times.<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/19/style/modern-love-tiny-love-stories.html?pgtype=Article&action=click&module=RelatedLinks" target="_blank">How to submit a Tiny Love Story</a>.
