Kate Beckinsale believes the secret to a happy marriage is lots of sex.

The Hollywood actress - who is married to Len Wiseman, the director of her hit film 'Underworld' - has revealed she and her husband enjoy a very passionate relationship.

Kate confessed to She magazine: "I'm very blessed to have a husband who appreciates me.

"Women feel sexy from feeling attractive and desired. Men feel sexy from having sex.

"If you can strike a balance where the man is having sex a lot and the woman is feeling desired enough to have sex, then you've figured out the secret to a marriage that's alive."

The 'Pearl Harbour' star has a seven-year-old daughter, Lily, with ex-boyfriend, British actor Michael Sheen, and she makes sure she balances all her relationships.

She said: "Just because you're a mother doesn't mean you can't feel sexy! We've worked extremely hard to make it comfortable for Lily and I'm quite proud of that.

"When we're in town the three of us, and Lily, often all go out together. Or Michael will babysit so Len and I can go out."
