Lara Bingle reveals why marrying Sam Worthington makes her feel ‘like a different person’

For Lara Worthington (nee Bingle), getting married and having children has completely transformed her life.

The 31-year-old model and businesswoman has been married to actor Sam Worthington for four years, and the couple have two sons together, Rocket, three, and Racer, two.

Speaking to PopSugar on Tuesday, Lara revealed that she feels like a different person to the one she was before meeting her husband.

‘Five years ago I felt like a different person to what I am now, and it’s nice to be able to grow,’ she told the publication.

‘When you get married and have children it’s not all about you anymore, you have a responsibility to make your family proud and I really cherish that,’ she continued.

‘That’s probably the most important thing to me.’ 

Changed woman: Lara explained she is a ‘different person’ now to the one she was before meeting her husband 

It’s not the first time Lara has spoken fondly about family life.

In June last year, she told The Sydney Morning Herald becoming a mother had taught her to love.

‘Everything just seems far more rich and meaningful now,’ she told the newspaper. 

‘I love the quote, “Making the decision to have a child – it is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” 

Change of priorities: ‘When you get married and have children it’s not all about you anymore, you have a responsibility to make your family proud and I really cherish that,’ she said

‘This resonates deeply with me. Motherhood has taught me the greatest love of all.’

Lara said Sam was also the backbone of their family, describing the 42-year-old Avatar star as their ‘world’.  

‘Sam has a really good heart – amazing husband, and he’s so good with the kids. He’s very hands-on, and I think we really complement each other. He is our world,’ she added.
