British beauty Kate Beckinsale's true loves are her daughter Lily, 9, and husband Len Wiseman, 35.
Despite a thriving film career and her husband's new show on HBO, True Blood, friends say the actress is a pro at balancing work and family.

During the shoot, Kate, 35, visited Lily on weekends. "I put her to bed every night," Kate tells OK!. "And I have breakfast with her every morning."
The Pearl Harbor star may have learned her excellent multi-tasking skills. Kate studied at England's prestigious Oxford University. The actress majored in Russian Studies, something she recently said she regrets.
"Now I only speak Russian with the woman who does my bikini wax," she told Contactmusic. "See what Hollywood does to you?"
