She said: "I very much believe in marriage. I hope to only be married once, which is why I've never been married. But I am a strong believer. My parents have been together for 40 years and are still very much in love so I think I have very high standards."

The actress also admitted she feels more “pressured” to start a family now that she is approaching her 40th birthday.

Winona, who reaches the milestone age in October, added to Britain’s OK! magazine: "Well, the weird thing is when I turned 38, I didn't really think about it, and then at 39, being a year away from 40, you sort of feel like you don't have excuses anymore!

"If you're a woman and you want to have children, you feel a little bit of pressure there."

Last month, Winona confessed that she worries that having children might end her acting career.

She said: "If I wanted to have a family now, would I be able to come back to work in a couple of years?"
