Charlize Theron has always wanted children.
The ‘Monster’ actress – who has been in a relationship with
actor-and-director Stuart Townsend for around six years – has never wanted
to get married, but has not given up her dream of starting a family.
She said: “I've actually always known I wanted to have kids. Even when I was
little, I never dreamed about walking down the aisle, but I always wanted to
be a mom because I have always had such a close relationship with my own
mom.”
The 33-year-old star remains adamant she will never tie the knot, saying she
thinks the institution is “beautiful” but not something she wants to get
involved with.
Speaking on US TV show ‘The View’, she added: “I just know I don't want it,
Stuart doesn't want it. Why mess with a good thing?”
The actress has previously admitted she thinks fate played a large part in
her relationship with Stuart, who she met while shooting 2002 film
‘Trapped’.
She said: “We met on set and we liked each other. It was like, 'You are
awesome, and I'm never going to see you again.' But somehow we always ended
up in the same places.
“I was in London working, and we were sitting in his apartment drinking
wine, and before I knew it we were packing up his apartment and he was
moving to Los Angeles. Someone wanted us to be together."
