Evangeline Lilly's greatest role yet? Being a mother to a four-month-old baby boy with boyfriend Norman Kali, whom she began dating while starring on ABC's Lost.
"My son is wonderful. He is amazing!" the Reem Acra-clad actress, 32, told Us Weekly at the Real Steel premiere in Universal City, Calif. Sunday. "Motherhood is a joy! I have dreamed about being a mother since I was 12 years old and there's nothing disappointing about it."
Lilly added that being a first-time mom is "actually more incredible than you can imagine. I think everything I say about motherhood sounds so cliche, but it's true."
When she's not busy filming — Lilly next appears in The Hobbit — the actress said she spends most of her time "feeding" her son. "All he does is eat all day!" she joked.

Though Lilly has yet to reveal her son's name, the Canadian star told Us she's eager to expand her brood with Kali. "If I wasn't working right now, I'd probably be pregnant again!"
