Anna Friel plans to freeze eggs to prolong fertility

Actress Anna Friel is considering having her eggs frozen till the time when her boyfriend, 'Notting Hill' star Rhys Ifans, is ready to take on fatherhood.
The 36-year-old 'Limitless' star already has daughter Gracie, seven, with ex-boyfriend David Thewlis but is keen to have more children when her current beau Ifans is ready, reported Easy Living magazine.
"I do want another child, but it's not something I want to rush into at his point in my life with Rhys. I think he would like his own child, but I'm not sure we're ready yet. I'm 36. All my friends around me are freezing their eggs!"

Friel also finds it more of a challenge to be a mother in this day and age as she has to maintain her career while looking after her daughter.
"It's so much harder to be a woman these days. We've got to do everything - keep working and cope with travelling, and still be a mother," she said.
