I've heard motherhood described many ways, but Milla Jovovich's take on it is a new one. She calls motherhood "relaxing" (her daughter, Ever, is 21 months). For her, it's a stress reliever from planning her wedding to director Paul W.S. Anderson (whom she met on the set of 'Resident Evil ')

"She’s really opened up a new path in my life, and now I feel not so concerned about myself," the Perfect Getaway star,
33, gushes to me in her lilting Russian accent.

"Everything is about
her and how she feels. If she’s sleeping well and she’s not crying and
she’s eating — well, I can totally relax, which is totally crazy
because I never used to be able to relax before, and now I’ve been able
to relax. Ironically, having my daughter has made me relax more, which
is really funny, because usually people get so stressed out when they
have kids. She’s helped me adjust, chill out and be happy when she’s
happy."

Well, now, that makes sense. Sounds like she's learned not to stress over the small stuff :)

And I can see where the wedding preparations may be stressful: although Milla says she wants the wedding to be an "intimate" ceremony, she's making her own wedding dress. That would stress anyone out!
