Helena: I would love another child

May 15th, 2007

Helena Christensen has revealed she wants another baby - and predicts it’ll happen in the next three years.

The supermodel, who has a seven-year-old son Mingus, is 38 but says she expects to have added to her family by the time she’s 41.

“I would love another child,” she told Hello! magazine. “I know the window of opportunity gets smaller and smaller but I have a feeling it is going to happen for me when I am about 40 or 41.”

Helena, who split from Mingus’ dad Norman Reedus several years ago, also revealed she might adopt.

“If I can’t have a second child, I would love to adopt from Peru,” said the star, the daughter of a Danish father and a Peruvian mother.

“It would be wonderful to help a child but also amazing for Mingus to grow up with another child from his grandmother’s culture.”

But the model insists she won’t be tying the knot in the near future.

“There is something very beautiful about dedicating yourself to another person for the rest of your life - believe me I am the first to cry at weddings - but it is not for me.

“My lifestyle doesn’t lend itself to marriage and I am fiercely independent.”

She added: “The idea strikes me as unnatural - and rather claustrophobic.”
