Renee Zellweger has admitted she has no plans to become a mother.

Although the 39-year old’s biological clock is ticking, she reveals her independence is more important to her, preferring to take one day at a time instead.

The Oscar-winner explains: "Motherhood has never been an ambition. I never have expectations like, 'When I'm 19 I'm going to do this, and by the time I've hit 25, I'm going to do that.'

"I just take things as they come, each day at a time, and if things happen, all well and good. I just want to be independent and be able to take care of myself. Anything else is just gravy.”
