"Hopefully, I'll have children, if I'm lucky enough," Romijn, 34, says in the August issue of Self.
But the confident supermodel-turned-actress – who turns heads as transsexual tycoon Alexis Reade in Ugly Betty and married Jerry O'Connell last year – didn't always have the world at her feet.

"I'm not model-thin anymore, but that's fine," Romijn says. "I've earned everything I have, and I feel great."
