Beckinsale: 'We're a family with two dads'

Kate Beckinsale has revealed that her ten-year-old daughter has a "family with two dads".

The British actress, who lives in Hollywood with husband Len Wiseman, has daughter Lily with former boyfriend Michael Sheen.

"We're a family with two dads," she told Self. "Somehow it all works out. Lily [walks] around the house going, 'Daddy!' and several people [say], 'Yes?' It's kind of funny. 'No, not you, the other one!'"

Beckinsale said that she enjoys staying friendly with Frost/Nixon star Sheen, with whom she split in 2003, for the sake of their daughter.

"Michael had a huge beard recently, and I decided it would be fun if Lily got to shave it off," she said. "So we got Len's clippers and shaved Michael.

"I'm sure that's why Lily doesn't feel like she has split parents. Your stepfather helping to shave your biological father isn't something that necessarily happens in every household."
