Seeing how About a Boy star Minnie Driver already has a boy in real life, would the actress be interested in a girl one of these days as well?

"I'd love to. I'd love to have a girl," she told E! News. "I'd love to have a boy. I'd love to have another baby, but really, I'm so lucky that I have one at all."

The 44-year-old mom then joked, "I'm quite elderly now," before adding, "But yeah. Sure, if it came up, if it happened with the right person."

Driver gave birth to her now-5-year-old son Henry in September 2008.

As for how she juggles motherhood and career, Driver said, "I don't know. You just have to get up every morning and work hard. It is quite challenging having a son, but that's why it's good we shoot [About a Boy] at Universal. I'm nine minutes from the studio and Henry's 10 minutes from there. It works."

And it's obvious she's one proud parent.

"He's a really good swimmer," Driver told us. "He sings and he plays the piano. He's a good musician. I love it," she said, adding with a laugh, "I can't wait to see what he is apart from being, you know, perfect."

Meanwhile, NBC's About a Boy, which premiered on Feb. 21, moved into its plum post-Voice Tuesday timeslot last night.

(E! and NBC are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
