Milla Jovovich is marrying British director Paul Anderson to give their 21-month-old daughter a stable upbringing.
Milla Jovovich is getting married so she doesn't raise "a little b*****d".
The model-and-actress has been engaged to British director Paul Anderson for around six years and admits they finally made the decision to tie the knot because of their 21-month-old daughter Ever.
She said: "We've been together for a long time. We've talked about marriage a few times, but we were pretty easy about the whole thing.
"What decided it? Having a baby. That pretty much decided it. So we don't have a little b*****d running around."
The 33-year-old star loves being a mother and says raising a child has finally made her realise who she is.
She added to Britain's Guardian newspaper: "There's no mystery to who I am any more. You know, you go though your whole life looking for an identity and then you become a mother and you're like, 'Oh? I'm a mom'. So no matter what, that's who I am.
"If all else fades, I'm still a mom. The acting, the modelling career - I'd give it all up for her."
The Ukrainian beauty is due to marry on August 22 at the couple's Hollywood home, with Milla designing her own wedding dress. |
