Virginia Madsen: "I Don't Consider Myself A Single Parent"

Any working mom knows it can be a challenge juggling both roles, but Virginia Madsen, who is mom to 15-year-old son Jack, credits her ex Antonio Sabatto Jr with helping to make it easier for her to be both a mom and an actress.

"I don't consider myself a single parent because Jack's dad has always been in the picture, and we live around the corner from each other and we parent together," the star of ABC's The Scoundrels tells The Vancouver Sun. "He's been a great help to me being away for so long (for the show) because I've never had to be away for this long. So Antonio has taken parenthood on. He's done full-on high school parenting while I've been away having a great time. So I'm very grateful to him."

Still single, the 48-year-old actress says she hasn't given up on finding Mr. Right.

"God, I hope I fall in love again," Virginia says. "I wish he'd get his act together and come get me or maybe I'm supposed to go get him. But I have a lot of work to do right now and I've been raising my son and it's hard for guys to be involved with an actress. And I get that."

She sounds so strong and smart. Too many women today seem to think they're more appealing if they whine and talk about how hard everything is. A strong woman doesn't play the victim or make excuses, she sees the best in her situation, and just keeps plowing forward. Virginia is super classy and gorgeous and has a handsome son.

I'm glad she and Antonio get along and can come together for the sake of their son. Many men would walk and never look back. Both of them are to be commended for putting aside any differences they have and take cared of their boy. She is very classy, very beautiful and a great actress to watch.
