'We love each other today, and we hope we'll love each other tomorrow,' Evangeline Lily said, when discussing her relationship with Norman Kali
Evangeline Lily talked with Ocean Drive about her relationship with Norman Kali (via E! Online). "In my world, I don't believe in forever promises. I don't think it's realistic," she said about marriage.
Despite a ring, the two have found a way of life that works for them. "My partner is a stay-at-home father, so if he wants to be on my health plan, or taxwise, or maybe on paper, we want to have our I's dotted and our T's crossed, but emotionally neither of us really feels the need for it. We love each other today, and we hope we'll love each other tomorrow."
The actress also shared her thoughts on having more children. "What I wanted originally was six kids. I frickin' love being pregnant. I'm one of the lucky women who just had a blissful pregnancy, but I wanted to adopt four. My partner and I have really been through the ringer in the adoption world, and it's hard, so we'll see what happens."
