Jennie Garth just can't wait for the final installment of the 'Twilight' film saga to hit theaters next year -- but not for the same reasons as Twi-hards. The former '90210' star, who recently celebrated her 10-year wedding anniversary with Peter Facinelli (that's Carlisle the vampire, the Cullen clan leader, for the uninformed), admits she'll be relieved when it's all over.
"Oh, for sure. I can't even remember what life is like with a husband," she tells PopEater. "I will be very happy."
According to Jennie, Peter "tries to go no more than two weeks at a time" without seeing her and their three daughters, ages 13, 8 and 4.
"It gets harder the more time he's gone. It's more of a challenge to keep everybody connected, and for the girls, they miss him so much, so it's kind of heart-wrenching to see him come and go. But there's no other way to keep him doing what he does and keep their lives normal," she adds.
"We could become a traveling circus -- go with him wherever he goes and homeschool the kids. But they're enjoying having regular quiet lives, and we like them to be able to have that."
The 'Twilight' phenom brings other stresses to the family as well, as in some of fame's less appealing side effects. Are people genuinely interested in being friends, or is it Carlisle they want to get next to? For the eldest Facinelli daughter, who is 13, the question comes up again and again.
"I was with her at a soccer tournament over the weekend, and there was a gaggle of girls walking by, and one of them said, 'Have you guys seen the super hot 'Twilight' guy?' -- having no idea that was her dad. She said, 'Mom, did you hear those girls?' They were looking for him, having no idea he's across the country right now."
Jennie notes, "In her world, she doesn't like it to be a big deal. But she's very proud of him."
Part one of 'Breaking Dawn' debuts Nov. 18; the second half is set for Nov. 16, 2012.
Jennie also makes her pride and support clear. "He's on a roll, he's on fire right now. It's a great time for him," says the actress, who parted ways with the CW's current '90210' more than a year ago. "I've really been focusing on the family and the girls and keeping things normal for them. Whether it's a sacrifice or not, I don't know -- but it's definitely what I want to be doing. I want him to take this time for himself and make the most of it. And besides, with him as the breadwinner, that dynamic works for a marriage."
