'The Help' actress Jessica Chastain thinks marriage is 'not an important thing'
Academy Award-nominated actress Jessica Chastain opened up about her relationship with fashion executive Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo in a recent interview.
Chastain has been dating Passi de Preposulo for two years, and said she's perfectly happy being a girlfriend and not a wife.
"I'm not quite sure of what I want in my life, and who knows if marriage is part of it," she told PEOPLE, "so to me marriage is not an important thing."
In a February 2013 interview, Chastain gushed over her Italian beau's "passion for the arts," and said she was "very, very happy" with her life overall.
"It's a wonderful thing when a career does so well and your personal life goes so well," she told "Extra."
The 37-year-old echoed that sentiment in her most recent interview, insisting that "everything is fantastic."
Chastain has never been married, but was in a long-term relationship with director and producer Ned Benson. The couple split in 2010.
Although the "Zero Dark Thirty" actress is indifferent towards matrimony, she expressed a desire to have children in a conversation with one of her brothers.
"I said, 'Someday you're going to have children, someday I'm going to have children, and I want our children to know each other,'" she recounted. "If we can spend a week together every year wherever we are, how beautiful would that be?"
