A lot has changed in actress Olivia Wilde's personal life in the past few years: She divorced her husband Tao Ruspoli, got engaged to Saturday Night Live alum Jason Sudeikis and is now mom to their 4-month-old baby Otis. Could another wedding be in the works soon, too? Not so fast, the stunning star tells Glamour magazine.
"We're engaged, but no specific plans yet—we just have to find the time to put it together. In many ways, a child is more of a commitment," Olivia explains. "We are fully committed and really happy as a family."

She adds that these days, love + marriage + baby isn't the default equation it used to be. Families can and do look very different.
"There's no definition of the 'normal family' anymore. Kids today are growing up with so many different definitions of family," she notes. "I guess what I'm saying is that I don't feel any pressure to do it. But I think it will be really fun."
I get what she's saying, and if two people want to be together forever and raise children without the added glue of a marriage certificate, more power to them.
My husband and I had been together for 12 years and lived together for a couple of those by the time we finally tied the knot, so I wasn't expecting it to make much of a difference in our day-to-day lives. After we exchanged those "I dos," though, it did feel as though something had rather profoundly shifted. We had always been together and committed, and I think we probably would've stayed that way with or without marriage, but there was some surprising comfort in knowing that we were "officially" together, that there could be no quick way out.
What do you think: When it comes to commitment, does baby trump marriage?
