Jennifer Love Hewitt will be 'good' wife

Jennifer Love Hewitt thinks she will make a "good wife".

The actress - who recently separated from her 'Ghost Whisperer' co-star Jamie Kennedy after a year of dating - is comfortable being single but wants to settle down and have children.

"I'm a hopeless romantic. My middle name is Love. Valentine's Day is my favourite holiday. I want to have a family and children. I am a sucker for every romantic comedy that comes out."

The 31-year-old star - who has previously dated singer John Mayer, actor Ross McCall and was engaged to professional kayaker Brad Ludden - also laughed off her 'serial dater' tag, insisting she is no different to many other women.

She told the USA Today newspaper: "I'm made fun of a lot for it, but I don't think I'm that different from a large group of people out there who are better and happier when they can spend time with someone."

Jennifer Love Hewitt's public wedding

Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ross McCall reportedly split after she demanded a high-profile wedding.

The 'Ghost Whisperer' actress - who became engaged to the Scottish actor in November 2007 after nearly two years of dating - was believed to be adamant the pair should sell the rights to their nuptials, but Ross was against the idea.

A source said: "They had a massive fight over the wedding plans. Ross felt he was being exploited by Jennifer because she was planning to sell their wedding pictures to a celebrity magazine.

"And when she told him she even had plans to sell the rights to their bachelor and bachelorette parties, Ross hit the roof!"

Friends of the couple remain hopeful they will give their romance a second chance, although Ross has made it clear he does not want his private life to be played out in public.

The source added: "Friends are hoping they'll reconcile.

"Ross didn't want his relationship played out in the press. Jennifer's need for media attention put a strain on their relationship and resulted in the split. Being in the limelight wasn't important to Ross. He valued privacy more than she did."
