Benjamin Bratt Gets Through Parenthood With ‘The Love of a Good Woman’

Benjamin Bratt is creating a love story with wife Talisa Soto, 41, whom he married in 2002.

“She is heart and soul personified,” The Cleaner star, 45, tells me. “She makes me a better man. That sounds like a line from a movie. It is, right? No, it’s hard not to speak in clichés about her, really, because so much has been made of my wife’s outer beauty — and she is otherworldly beautiful — but as I’ve come to know her, her heart and who she is as a person is even more beautiful. What I dig about her is that she loves me. Even though she knows everything about me, she accepts me anyway, which is a pretty calming influence to have in your life and a great deal of support.”

The couple enjoy spending time with their children Sophia, 5, and Mateo, 3. How does he do it all?

“Little sleep, faultless dedication and the love of a good woman.”
