Charlize Theron Wants Kids

Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron is keen to join the likes of new Hollywood moms-to-be Jessica Alba and Minnie Driver, revealing that she feels ready to have a baby.

"I've been thinking about becoming a mom for a couple of years now," she told In Touch Weekly magazine.

"My biological clock is ticking, but it hasn't gone off yet. I couldn't hope for my career to be going any better, and I have found the great love of my life in my relationship.

Theron, 32, has been dating actor Stuart Townsend for seven years, and says she thinks now could be the right time to welcome a new addition to the family.

"I think we're ready to start having kids running around the house," she said.

"I'm ready to take on the responsibility of motherhood, and Stuart is the man I want to share parenthood with."
