Sienna Miller - Miller Hinted At Ifans Split Weeks Ago
British actress SIENNA MILLER hinted that a split between her and ex-fiance RHYS IFANS was possible - weeks before reports claimed they had separated.
The couple is alleged to have parted ways earlier this month (Jun08), with Miller reportedly dumping Notting Hill actor Ifans by phone.
But the Alfie star revealed she wasn't ready to settle down while recently promoting forthcoming film GI Joe.
In an interview with Britain's Telegraph Magazine, which was published on Sunday (08Jun08), Miller appears to cast doubt over the future of her relationship with Ifans.
She says, "When it comes to settling down, I chop and change.
"I really thought I was ready for it, and then I realised that I wanted to be selfish for a little bit longer. I'm full of curiosity. I know that as soon as I have a child it will probably be everything, and I don't want to regret not doing more.
"I'll always work, I hope, but I want to have the freedom to go to India tomorrow for three months, like Tarka (Cordell, her writer friend) did.
"The press will say, 'She doesn't love Rhys' and 'She's selfish!', but I'm 26 and I have time and when it's right it will happen."
