Swank's baby no

09:30 21 March 2005

Hilary Swank has confessed her husband is desperate for children - but admits she's not ready for them yet.

The Oscar-winning actress, who has been married to Chad Lowe for 12 years, says she doesn't feel her biological clock ticking at the moment, and despite Chad's pleas, she's not about to change her mind.

She said: "Chad wants babies. I do, too, but not quite yet. I'm 30 now and I'm just waiting for my biological clock to start to kick in so hard I can't ignore it. For Chad he's there already. Any time I say to him, 'Hey, guess what?', he looks at me and says, 'You want a baby?'"

Hilary says when she does eventually have children she wants to be able to devote all her time to motherhood and is worried she won't be able to do that if she is still acting.

She added in an interview with Britain's Elle magazine: "I wouldn't describe it as an issue between us - well, maybe, it's definitely out there - but it will happen. I sometimes think I could never do a part like this if I had a baby, but I guess I could. It's just I know how obsessive I am, when that baby comes, I would have to give myself time to just be baby, baby, baby, baby."
