Ginnifer Goodwin has been candid about offering a sperm donation for her best friend, who wanted to be a single mother. The actress suggested that she could have the sperm of her husband, Josh Dallas.
In an interview on "Pop Culture Spotlight with Jessica Shaw," Goodwin expressed that her husband and best friend were completely weirded out by her suggestion because it would complicate their friendship. However, Goodwin insisted that her best friend needed to procreate, and she was happy at the thought of "more little Joshes in the world."
She also explained the IVF process to her best friend and Dallas, who looked at her in disbelief because it sounded like turkey basting. Goodwin also told Dallas he doesn't need to be in the child's life, but he will be in her best friend's life.
A Fairy Tale Romance
Goodwin and Dallas met on the set of the fairy tale supernatural series "Once Upon a Time" on ABC. Her role was the beautiful Snow White, and he played the handsome Prince Charming. He said in 2012 that it was love at first sight for him, and their on-screen chemistry was also sizzling off the screen.
While Goodwin and Dallas denied their romance in public, both agreed that they had an instant connection. Goodwin was coming off a broken engagement with Justin Long when she met Dallas while he was also recovering from his divorce with Lara Pulver.
However, a year after working together, Goodwin and Dallas decided to move in and officially made their relationship public at a White House Correspondents Dinner in 2012. Sources close to the couple said that the pair were serious with each other when they agreed to be together.
In 2013, Dallas asked to marry Goodwin, and they tied the knot by April 2014 while she was eight months pregnant with their first child, Oliver. Their second baby, Hugo, followed in 2016.
Goodwin relishes being a mother to her kids and wife to Dallas, whom she praised as someone who makes her laugh a lot. He still sends her flowers and jams because it's what his wife loves years into their relationship. She also appreciates how much her husband takes care of their babies when she's tired, describing him as her "knight in shining armor."
On the other hand, Dallas praises his wife as "the greatest human I know." He said she makes life easy and he loves growing together with her.
Missing His Wife at Work
Meanwhile, Goodwin had a few other TV projects after "Once Upon a Time" wrapped up while Dallas landed a hit with "Manifest." He said, however, that he misses working next to his wife because she is an "exceptional actress."
"To be on set with her every day is like going to school," Dallas said. "So I miss that, and I will always miss that, and to work with her is the best."
Fans have always wondered if Goodwin will ever cameo on "Manifest," which was renewed on Netflix. But Goodwin is currently busy filming her new mom comedy series, "Pivoting," for Fox.
