"Becoming a parent is the most selfless act and you need to be at a point in your life where you can give up anything and everything for a child," the actress said "I don't know if you know how to do that when you're in your 20s."

And Freddie is also proud of having waited until they were really ready.

"I'm so happy we didn't have kids in our 20s – I just didn't know a thing. You have so much more patience in your 30s, and I feel like I appreciate this so much more," he said.
