“Im so excited about this next adventure… a new album and Im going to be a mum!

A source close to the ex-Neighbours star told The Sun Online in August that Natalie hoped having a baby will help her find Mr Right.

“Men love Natalie and she has never been short of admirers – they go crazy for her and even now she can have her pick of dudes,” the pal said.

“But I think she has often chosen guys who are in it for the thrill and passion and not for the long run.

“She got so tired of the disappointment and just really needed a break from all that. She is a super confident and fulfilled person who can give a child everything. But I think one great thing about being a mum for Natalie is that she has a much better chance of meeting Mr. Right because she is thinking about finding a great dad – not just a guy to hang out with.

“Natalie is a role model in so many ways because she really has evolved.

“She has definitely raised her standards for what a good relationship is. She knows that respect and friendship comes first and she is now totally willing to wait for that instead of diving in head first because of sexual attraction.

“But she is not bitter or disappointed.

“Natalie believes for sure that she will find a long term partner – but for now the baby is her focus.”

The actress and musician was born in Sydney, Australia and became a naturalised British citizen on 28 February 2013.

She dated Friends actor David Schwimmer in the late 90s, and married Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns on New Years Eve 2003. However, they announced their divorce in January 2008, saying they lived too far apart.
