Amy Adams Anxious to See Who Her Baby Grows Up to Be

An admitted “last minute” kind of gal, Amy Adams tells USA Today that she’s not feeling overly stressed about impending marriage and motherhood.

In fact, the 35-year-old actress — expecting her first baby with fiancé Darren Le Gallo this spring — says that not only is there no set wedding date, there are no nursery plans underway either! “What I’m actually looking forward to is when my child is old enough to tell me what they want in the room,” she explains. “We could do it together.”

“I’m more interested in seeing who this child is, as a human being. That’s what’s exciting to me. I’m just so excited to see, if I have a little girl, does she want a princess room or is she into soccer?”

Digging into a plate of eggs and bacon — “emergency eating,” she explains — Amy is clearly enjoying an early maternity leave.

“It’s been good for me,” she says. “I’ve benefited a lot from taking some downtime and working on friendships and really reconnecting with my fiancé.”

Amy’s new film Leap Year is in theaters now.

Mark Wahlberg On a Fifth Child: 'The More the Merrier'

When it comes to family planning, Mark Wahlberg‘s approach is simple.

“I’m the youngest of nine,” the Lovely Bones star points out during a Friday appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, “So the more the merrier.”

Of course wife Rhea Durham — who delivered the couple’s fourth child, daughter Grace Margaret, earlier this week — has a well-earned say-so in the matter, and for now she is standing pat.

“My wife has always wanted four, two boys and two girls, so miraculously she got everything she wanted … She’s saying she’s done.”

That’s not to say a change of heart couldn’t occur, however. Although Rhea has been “hinting” that their family — which includes Ella, 6, Michael, 3 ½, and Brendan, 16 months — is complete, Mark isn’t so easily convinced. “She loves being a mother, so she may end up wanting one more,” he muses before adding,

“We’ll see what happens.”

Just what could motivate the model, 31, to contemplate a fifth pregnancy? The rest and relaxation afforded by the maternity ward! “She likes hanging out at the hospital,” Mark jokes. “It was the first time we had a couple of days of peace and quiet, even though she had to go through the pain of giving birth.”

Likening the experience to a hotel stay, Mark, 38, pointed out that mom and dad even had their own televisions for viewing. “She didn’t really want to go home,” he said.
