Let’s face it—many of us might get a little nervous at the thought of a crying baby waking us up every half hour. But here's the thing: for Kate Beckinsale, that reality hasn’t stopped her from considering expanding her family. In a candid conversation with Tatler, the 45-year-old actress opened up about the possibility of having another child, showing that even celebrities face the same life decisions we all do.
Kate Beckinsale: Open to the Idea of Adding to Her Family
Kate Beckinsale, the talented star known for her work in films like "Underworld," has a 19-year-old daughter named Lily with her former partner, actor Michael Sheen. During her recent interview with Tatler, she expressed her openness to the idea of having more children. "I definitely would [have another child], but then I think, 'Oh God, I annihilated my twenties, and now that I've finally found some freedom, do I want to do it all over again?'" Kate said, laughing at the absurdity of her own thoughts. But despite these musings, she remains open to seeing what life has in store for her. Interestingly, her marriage to director Len Wiseman, which lasted for 12 years, did not result in any children, ending in divorce two years ago.
Life Choices and Career Reflections
Reflecting on her life choices, Kate shared that she has no regrets about how her twenties unfolded. "Lily is an incredible person, and she's made me a better version of myself," she said, acknowledging the profound impact her daughter has had on her life. Yet, she’s also aware of the sacrifices that come with raising a child, particularly in the demanding world of Hollywood. “There’s a certain freedom that comes with adulthood, and I’m not entirely sure I want to trade that for sleepless nights—again,” she joked. Her honesty about the challenges of parenting resonates with many, proving that even stars like Kate face the same dilemmas we all do.

Kate Beckinsale Tackles the "Diva" Label and Gender Dynamics in Hollywood
In addition to discussing her family life, Kate also tackled the often-debated topic of the "diva" label in Hollywood. She boldly stated that men are often the biggest divas in the industry. "All it used to take was someone saying you were difficult or crazy," Kate said, adding, "Not just me, but others too. There are some people who are a nightmare, making everyone wait for hours and then deciding they need a llama on set." Interestingly, Kate pointed out that the people she knows who exhibit such behavior are predominantly men. “Who hasn’t wanted a llama at work, right?” she quipped, lightening the mood with her humor.
Gender Dynamics in the Film Industry
Kate also reflected on the gender dynamics she’s experienced in the film industry. "It’s not like you can become platonic friends with every guy on set," she explained. "Sometimes their girlfriends aren’t really into that idea, or there might just be a weird vibe." Her insights into the challenges of forming professional relationships in a male-dominated industry shed light on the complexities women face in Hollywood. Despite these challenges, Kate remains a beacon of resilience and authenticity.
While we don’t yet know when we might see a pregnant Kate, her fans can look forward to her next film, Farming, set to release on September 8. For now, it seems Kate is enjoying her freedom, balancing her career, and contemplating the next chapter of her life with the same grace and humor that has made her a beloved figure in the entertainment world.
