There is new speculation that Kerry Washington is so in love with her new family and motherhood, that she might consider leaving Hollywood so she can concentrate on raising her baby instead. The Scandal star, who gave birth to her daughter Isabelle in April, is said to be loving her new family life so much that she's having a hard time leaving her baby's side.

According to Washington's friend, legendary actress Diahann Carroll, she says the new mother is in her "perfect place" in life right now.

"You could smell that she wanted this whole life: the baby, the husband, the in-laws [and] the house," she said, "She wants it. She wants this baby and her husband wants the baby, so the baby is coming into an absolutely perfect situation."

Meanwhile, rumor has it that Washington has "forbidden" her Scandal co-stars from talking about her personal life to the media. Her co-star Bellamy Young recently said that Washington has forbid to her speak about the Hollywood's star baby girl.

While at The Wrap's First Annual Emmy Party in Los Angeles, Young did her best to avoid any questions about Washington and her daughter from reporters. "We can't talk about Kerry on the carpet," she said, according to Us Weekly.

When asked if she feels "happy" for her co-star, Young replied with, "I am Switzerland of Kerry."

However, despite the rumors, ABC previously announced that Washington will be returning for the fourth season of Scandal this fall.
