Actress Uma Thurman has hinted she would like to expand her family - and have children with Swiss businessman Arpad Busson.
The Kill Bill star is set to marry Busson, whom she has been dating for a year.
And the star, who has two children with Ethan Hawke, also hopes to add to her brood.
She says, "I love and adore being a mother. (My children) are the greatest gift I've ever been given."
Last month, Thurman was forced to deny she was pregnant after pictures of the 38-year-old in a bikini while vacationing on the island of Corsica sparked reports she was expecting.

For a total of 312 films from 64 different countries. Wow, I wish I could go. Of the remaining announcements in 3 different sections, the most intriguing would have to be Vincent Cassel playing legendary French gangster Jacques Mesrine in Public Enemy No. 1. It's listed as a "work-in-progress" so I guess that means what will be screened is not the final cut. Another I'm looking forward to is The Lucky Ones which stars one of my favorites, Tim Robbins. It's about some returning soldiers who go on a road trip across America. Check out the full list following.

Polls show that in certain demographics, more people identify the name Paris with "Hilton" than with "France." Gaining intimate access to the glamorous and chaotic day-to-day life of one of the world's biggest icons, director Adria Petty explores the businesswoman and the human

Now that she's engaged to Swiss multimillionaire Arpad "Arki" Busson, Uma Thurman says she's open to the possibility of having more children. "I can safely say I don't know," the actress, 38, tells InStyle for its September issue. "If it's meant to happen, it will. I love and adore being a mother." Thurman says parenting her two children (with ex-husband Ethan Hawke), Maya, 10, and Levon, 6, is "the greatest gift I’ve ever been given." The actress – who announced her engagement in June – adds: "I understand that raising children is universally difficult and that people read an article hoping for something worthwhile in it.

Starring: Mark Webber, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Michelle Williams, Laura Linney, Ethan Hawke
Directed By: Ethan Hawke
Ethan Hawke seems to be misinterpreted throughout his career. His tale of turbulent love didn’t have many takers when it came out last year. But it is probably because of lot of cross referencing many of the critics employed to push this film to the grave. The film is laced with some really unbelievable performances from the principal cast. Mark Webber who plays William Harding who I last saw in Storytelling is still an outcast when...

The Toronto International Film Festival has announced a whole load of films, including many world premiers, to be added as part of their lineups. Some of the more interesting looking ones are Lance Daly's Kisses about two Irish brothers who run away from home and deal with the dark underside of Dublin. Another film I'm definitely interested in is Scott McGehee and David Siegel's Uncertainty which stars one of my personal favorites, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It's about a couple in love who find out she's pregnant and they flip a coin from where it apparently follows both possible storylines, but with the same disastrous consequences. Also screening will be Fabrice du Welz's Vinyan (trailer here) which is about a couple who lost their son in a Tsunami and won't give up looking for him. In the Discovery program, the stop-motion animation $9.99 which is about a man seeking the meaning to life.

Ethan Hawke and his new wife Ryan Shawhughes have snubbed the opportunity to sell the first photos of their newborn baby daughter, by posing in public with the one-week-old.
Shawhughes gave birth to Clementine Jane Hawke in a New York hospital last Friday.
And the couple stepped out in Manhattan with their new daughter on Friday, killing any chance of a potential exclusive family photo deal with a tabloid magazine.
Hawke and Shawhughes, who married in June, refused to chat with photographers as they carried tiny Clementine into a yellow cab.
Magazine bosses have bought the first snaps of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's twins Knox and Vivienne for a reported $11 million (GBP5.5 million), and an exclusive peek at Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves' baby son Levi was reportedly worth $3 million (GBP1.5 million).
That photo and others graced this week's Ok! magazine.

Christian Bale and Michael Caine paid tribute to their late co-star Heath Ledger at The Dark Knight world premiere in New York on Monday.
Stars including Ethan Hawke, Gary Oldman, Maggie Gyllenhaal and her brother Jake - who appeared with Ledger in 2005 movie Brokeback Mountain - walked the red carpet to see the tragic actor's turn in the film.
And his co-stars were keen to honour his performance as The Joker.
Bale, who plays the caped crusader in the sequel, says, "Working with Heath was fantastic. He steals the movie and I'm quite happy to say that.
"He's a hell of a talent and created a joker that's very iconic and one that will become a classic portrayal of the ages."
And Michael Caine, who plays the hero's butler, was full of praise for the "intensity and ferocity of the performance" given by Ledger.
He adds, "When we were sitting down between takes, he was completely ordinary. He wasn't preparing himself or saying 'Please leave me alone, I've gotta do this.' Instead he was talking to me.
"We would sit and chat and have a cup of coffee, then suddenly they'd say, 'We're ready, Heath,' and he'd go straight into The Joker. His energy was astonishing, especially when it came from this kind of calm. He's certainly the best villain I've ever seen."
Ledger was found dead from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs at his New York apartment on 22 January. He was 28 years old.
The Dark Knight hits movie theatres in the U.S. on 18 July.

But, speaking out for the first time since announcing her engagement to multi-millionaire businessman Arpad Busson last month, the actress insists she is happy to go back on her word.
She says, "I'm going to have to retract my statement of never. I'll have to eat my words - what a surprise."
Thurman split from first husband Oldman in 1992 after two years of marriage. Her divorce from Hawke was finalised in 2005.

The English Patient star Kristin Scott Thomas is to make her Broadway debut in a revival of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull.
The actress will play Arkadina opposite Peter Sarsgaard when the play opens on 1 October.
The production premiered at London's Royal Court Theatre last year and became the biggest-selling stage event in the venue's 50-year history, winning Scott Thomas a Laurence Olivier Award earlier this year.
The 1985 Chekhov play centres around the romantic conflicts and regrets of a group of actors, writers and artists on a Russian estate.
It was last seen on Broadway in a 1992 National Actors Theater production starring Tyne Daly, Jon Voight, Laura Linney and Ethan Hawke.
