Cate spoke to Australia's Sky News at the premiere of her latest film, Disney's new live-action Cinderella, on March 15.
"Fourth time around, it's extraordinary. We're besotted," she gushed.

Speaking of their decision to adopt, she explained: "There's a lot of children out there who don't have the good fortune that our biological children do, so it's wonderful. It's wonderful to welcome a little girl into our fold."
The couple's adoption news was first revealed March 6. They were said to have "especially wanted a girl to even out the household".
