Kruger was one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood at her peak. Having started her journey in Hollywood alongside Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom in Troy in 2004, she worked on many other fantastic projects.
This fame and connection in the industry also took her places. She enjoyed her life to the fullest she could even before turning 40.
"I have been to every party, I have been to every country that I wanted to visit," Kruger told The Telegraph in January 2022.
And it was exactly this experience and having had the fill for it that made her realize she was ready for motherhood.
She had, in a way, given up on becoming a mother. But when she first realized she was about to have a baby, she was happily taken aback.
"She was definitely a surprise. I sort of had given up on the idea of that happening," she admitted while talking about her daughter.
Kruger and her fiance, Norman Reedus, had their daughter in November 2018. Kruger was 42 when she had her.
Even though it was a case of luck striking late, she does not wish for things to have happened differently.
