LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Diane Kruger's perspective on being a mother has changed in recent years as the actress opened up in her latest interview. ‘The 355’ star while shooting for Tatler’s January issue cover, talked about what led to the change. "I didn't want children for a long time. I really liked my life the way it was. In my late thirties, I was starting to think about it but I wasn't in a place in my relationship at the time – or whatever – where that was going to be a possibility and so I had kind of given up hope and I thought it was just too late. And I was OK with that," shared Kruger.

The 46-year-old German-American actress had a challenging time as a kid and felt like "an outsider," but she makes sure her daughter, Nova, never comes close to that feeling. "Wherever I go, I put her in school. I don't want her to feel like her life is on hold when I'm working or Norman is working," she explained. Kruger shares her 4-year-old daughter with fiance Norman Reedus.

Appreciating Nova, the mother describes her as a "very outgoing young girl" with whom Kruger speaks German "all the time." Kruger shared with Tatler, "The arrival of Nova has changed my life – our lives – in the best possible way. It's just amazing that you thought you were one thing but you're meant to do something completely different."

In an interview with People, Kruger talked about the reason behind her daughter’s naming. "I had her late in life at 42, and [Norman] had a child when he was much younger. 'Nova' in Latin means new beginning, and a nova star keeps changing and is reborn. And we love Tennessee and the Smoky Mountains; we do motorcycle trips there," revealed the 'Troy' star.

Kruger further said that she surprised herself after becoming a mother, "How much I love it. I wanted to be a mom, and I was sure I was going to like it, but just the magnitude of wanting to be there every second, not missing a thing." "[Nova] was a surprise. I thought it wasn't going to happen, and she came into my life when I was ready. I'm grateful that happened for me and our family. She's changed my world and the way I look at everything," she concludes.
