Kate Walsh Opens Up About Aging & Marriage
Newlywed Kate Walsh seems to be sitting pretty these days. She's got a new man and a new show, but the actress — who just celebrated her 40th birthday on Oct. 13 — admits she's struggled with the aging process. "I went through a phase last year where I obsessed over every flaw," Walsh says in the November issue of Marie Claire. "I'm so happy that I got through it and didn't take any action."
The Private Practice star explains, "It was just the regular anxiety of, 'It's weird to age.' My body changed hugely between 35 and 37. Everything suddenly dropped. This is pretty much how it's going to be for me, right here. I enjoy life, and part of that for me is eating."
Walsh, who tied the knot with 20th Century Fox exec Alex Young over Labor Day weekend, also reveals she "wasn't obsessed with marriage." Walsh says, "I'd let that go. I thought, I'm happy, I have a good life, a lot to be grateful for. But then I met him, and I knew unequivocally. Is that strange? I used to want to hit people who said, 'You know when you know.' It made me want to throw up. But I'm the annoying one now."
