British actress Anna Friel is planning a second child with long-term boyfriend David Thewlis, and she wants it to be born and raised in America.

The pair's three-year-old daughter Gracie is desperate for a little brother or sister - and 32-year-old Friel admits she is eager to be expanding her brood. She tells Page Six magazine, "I really want to be a mother again." And the family is so settled in Los Angeles - where Friel shoots TV show Pushing Daisies - she wants to make it their permanent home.

The star adds, "You know, I'd always thought we'd go back (to Britain), but David and I had that conversation the other day asking, 'What happens if Daisies doesn't continue - would we then go back?' I think my life has sent me in this direction and that I should be here."
