Known for her role in Now You See Me: The Second Act, Lizzy Caplan told You magazine she wants to get married and have a big family. The 34-year-old actress is dating Tom Riley and the two live together in London for six months of the year.
She said, “I would [like to get married]. I’m a bit old-fashioned that way. I can see why in this day and age a lot of marriages end in divorce, but I think there’s no more romantic a notion than swinging the bat and saying, ‘It’s going to be different for me.’ It does take guts and a lot of work, but even if you fail. I think there’s something noble in the attempt. I was lucky in that my parents have been married for 25 years and it was a healthy relationship.”
She continued, “[I have] always wanted a big family, but I don’t know how realistic that would be.”
Although she wants a large family and to marry someday, the actress also feels she might be getting too old for it to happen.
She explained, “If I could have four kids, I would be very happy, but I’m getting a little old for four now. That said, I have a new puppy and I put a lot of maternal energy into that poo dog, so for now, I’m good.”
While she currently pours her maternal love into her new puppy, she still seeks advice from those who are in long-term relationships.
“Whenever I meet anybody in a long-term relationship, I ask them what their secret is. It seems to be: just genuinely like the other person, because all the other stuff ebbs and flows,” the actress added.
