She doesn’t regret waiting until her 40s to have a child.

Diane Kruger welcomed her first daughter with her fiancé Norman Reedus in 2018 when she was 42. And in a recent interview with The Daily Telegraph, the 45-year-old actress said she would have “resented” it had she given birth at 30.

The German beauty said, “I am so glad I did not have a kid at 30. I think I would have absolutely resented it for all the things that you have to give up because today I am happy to do so.”

“I have been to every party, I have been to every country that I wanted to visit. So I’m 100 percent ready and willing to give my kid the attention. But at 30, I know I would not have been ready to do this properly.”

Proving age is just a number, the Troy star showcased her toned figure as she attended the Museum of Modern Art Film Benefit, honoring Penélope Cruz, last month.

She flaunted her arms and abs in a two-piece Emilia Wickstead Fall 2021 ensemble that included a tiny white floral-printed crop top with a large collar and a matching A-line maxi skirt.

Currently on sale for $2,200 (from $2,750) at Matches Fashion, the “Vonda” skirt is inspired by costumes worn by Grace Kelly in the 1954 thriller Rear Window.

It’s made in the UK from midweight faille fabric and features blue floral print, a high waist, and godet inserts.

She styled the look with a diamond necklace, a pair of diamond earrings, and her engagement ring and carried a black Chanel quilted wallet clutch.

For her beauty look, Guillaume Canet’s ex-wife pulled her blonde tresses back into a side-parted ponytail and wore a hint of blue eyeshadow with mascara, eyeliner, and pink lipstick.

Wearing a red pedicure, Diane rounded out her look with strappy black sandals. They feature a three-strap design, about 0.5-inch platforms, and high stiletto heels.
