Cameron Diaz Talks Relationships & Children

Copyright 2009 / Parade Magazine
Cameron Diaz opens up about her past relationships and reveals her views on having children.

The actress -- who has been linked romantically to Justin Timberlake, Jared Leto and, more recently, model Paul Sculfor -- tells Parade magazine of her love life: "I think that what I've found, in my experience, is that you always find the person who you're meant to be with at that time in your life. And what I've also found is that you have to move on from those people at certain times, because that's the way it happens."

Cameron continues, "For me personally, there's nothing wrong with that. A lot of people find themselves trapped in something that they've outgrown and are unhappy. And they don't know how to get out of it because they think that they're supposed to make it happen."

As for having children one day, the 36-year-old actress doesn't seem for or against the idea. "I think that it's normal for people to ask that, especially of someone my age, because it seems like the obvious thing: 'Why haven't you done it?' It doesn't bother me. It's not the cross I bear. I'm not somebody who is going to declare either way if I'm absolutely going to or I'm absolutely not going to have children. I have no idea," she tells the publication. "I'm still young. I have an unbelievable life. In some ways, I have the life that I have because I don't have children."

Cameron graces the cover of Parade magazine, on newsstands May 31. She can also be seen in the new film 'My Sister's Keeper,' in theaters June 26.

  • And ditto, to her commentary of, "I have an unbelievable life because of the fact that I have no children" I myself too have no siblings of my own, and since a young girl, have I been exposed to diverse areas within the field of creative arts; piano, choir, photography, hula and jazz dancing, modeling, self interest in lyric song writing and poetry since High School-present, and pulling in all my hard and dedicated efforts from College University skills, self attempted journalisms and other discussions. I have never fully let go of any of these activities. This is where I can be fully creative and express my truer sides of what, (out 7 billion other existing souls) and who I am with the on going journey in LIFE discovering about my self mixed from my past to present experiences as all a lesson to learn and or grow from.

  • Cameron obviously has her head in the clouds...she says she's still young!?!? at 37..cmon for a woman who doesn't even have a man and remotely thinking of having their first child close to 40, you have to think about your fertility and if the baby will be born healthy. That's a grim reality. Wake up Cameron. It will never happen for this woman.

  • i like her...she has a refreshing honesty, and she's not wrapped up in living her life according to anyone's expectations but her own. Having kids because it's what everyone does, and you're expected to is the worst reason in the world. She's smart...not everyone is supposed to have kids.

  • She should never procreate. She is too selfish to have children. If she isn't capable of having any relationship lasting longer than 4 years. Raising a child would cramp her lifestyle and she is a narcissist

  • Cameron just have kids already. You ain't gettin any younger. Plus kids are a wonderful blessing and I think that is a better blessing than any life you live now.
