Diane Kruger admits she didn't want children for a 'long time' and then thought it was too late

Diane Kruger has admitted that she didn't want children for a 'long time' and then thought it was too late as she spoke while posing up a storm for a magazine cover.

The actress, 46, said she didn't want children when she was younger and then 'gave up hope' in her late 30s when she wanted kids but wasn't in a place where it was 'possible'.

But she said the arrival of her daughter Nova Tennessee, four, in 2018 changed everything for her and her longtime partner Norman Reedus.

Appearing as Tatler's January cover star, she explained: 'I didn't want children for a long time. I really liked my life the way it was.

'In my late thirties, I was starting to think about it but I wasn't in a place in my relationship at the time – or whatever – where that was going to be a possibility and so I had kind of given up hope and I thought it was just too late.'

'The arrival of Nova has changed my life – our lives – in the best possible way, it's just amazing that you thought you were one thing but you're meant to do something completely different,' she added.

Her comments came as she posed up a storm in an array of sensational photographs as part of Tatler's January cover.

In one snap, she put on a glamorous display in a voluminous purple gown with an extravagant ruffled layered skirt and sleeves.

She completed her look with sheer black gloves and styled her blonde locks in a slicked-back up-do.

The actress accentuated her natural beauty with a smokey-eye make-up palette and a touch of red lipstick for the cover shoot.

In another shot, she looked elegant in a blue layered skirt and a cropped red long-sleeved top, which gave a flash of her underboob.

Diane completed the look with a pair of statement droplet gold earrings and a black choker necklace.

She also sported a sequinned gown and a feather scarf as she posed up a storm leaning over a balcony in one final photograph.

It comes after Diane marked her six-year anniversary with her partner Norman, 53, in July.

Diane and The Walking Dead star Norman first met when they co-starred in the 2015 movie Sky and began dating in 2016.

They welcomed their first child, Nova, together in 2018 and then announced their engagement in 2021.

Norman also shares a son Mingus Lucien, 22, with his ex-girlfriend Helena Christenson, 53.

The January issue of Tatler is available on newsstands and via digital download on Thursday December 1.
