Aside from being incredibly in bliss being married to her husband, French journalist Romain Dauriac, the actress shared that she also loves the responsibilities that go along with having a baby. She said she loves taking care of her baby, be it feeding her or changing diapers.

However, the "Avengers" star confessed that although she adores her little one and enjoys every moment with her, motherhood can be "exhausting".

In an interview with Barbara Walters for her annual television special, "The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2014," Johansson shared that the love she feels for her daughter is "overwhelming" and unbelievable," and nothing short of "magical".

The actress, so used to having odd hours and some sleepless nights due to work, said she never appreciated a good night's sleep until she became a mother. But despite being exhausted, she says the fatigue is the good kind of tired.

She admitted that although she is doing the best she can for her baby, she still feels that she has a lot to learn, especially since Rose is her first child.

"I still lack experience. Right now I'm just trying to manage. You have to first, how should I put it, learn the ropes," Johansson shared.

Johansson and Dauriac recently wed in a private ceremony.

The couple met through their mutual friend, tattoo artist Fuzi Uvtpk, and the star was said to have been drawn to Dauriac's love for the arts.

Johansson was previously married to actor Ryan Reynolds.
