Gerard Butler: Katherine Heigl Will Be an Amazing Mom

As first time mom Katherine Heigl nests with her newly adopted baby girl, her Ugly Truth costar Gerard Butler raves that she will be a natural at motherhood.
"She will be an amazing mom," Butler told PEOPLE at the premiere of his new film Law Abiding Citizen in New York City Wednesday. "She's incredibly responsible, smart and loving. This is a huge deal for her and she's going to take to it like a duck to water."
In fact, the Scottish actor, 39, said Heigl used her maternal instincts on him while working together. "She mothered me," he said. "Anytime I was feeling under the weather or was having a hard day, that's when she was amazing. She would always come and check on me. I think she's naturally a caretaker in the best way."

Katherine Heigl & Husband Adopting a Girl
Originally posted 09/09/2009 09:55PM
Almost exactly a year ago, musician Josh Kelley said he and wife Katherine Heigl weren't talking about starting a family.
Looks like somebody changed the subject.
"It is a little girl and she'll be 10 months at the end this month," Heigl said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in an episode to air Friday, announcing her impending adoption. "She was actually born the day before me in November, which I thought was really serendipitous and just kind of like a sign. I realized just recently that I basically forfeited my birthday for the rest of my life."
The couple are adopting a special-needs girl from Korea; Heigl's sister also was adopted from Korea.

Katherine Heigl Breaks Relationship Rules – and It Works!
Originally posted 07/20/2009 10:30AM
Katherine Heigl's character learns the not-so-pretty romantic rules of male/female relationships in her new comedy The Ugly Truth, but the actress admits that she's already tested them with husband Josh Kelley.
"I'm not very good at being a wife because I sort of break them all," Heigl laughed while discussing the film with reporters. "So does he, though, so whatever." She admits that, like her character, she set up a lot of rules about what she wanted in a man when she was single.
"I definitely went the whole make-a-list [process]," she said. "I'm definitely a little OCD, I'm particular about how I like things, and how I want things." But she's learned that despite the sometimes dramatic differences between the psyches of men and women, compromise is the key. "You don't have to necessarily completely change who you are to be with someone you want to be with, but you do have to compromise a little bit. You have to let go of a little bit of yourself."
