Sean Bean and Georgina Sutcliffe marriage at Westminster Register Office, Marylebone Road. London, England - 19.02.08

The Lord of the Rings star, 49, wed 29-year-old Sutcliffe in February (08).

Their union came under intense scrutiny just months into their marriage when Bean was accused by his wife of assault. He was arrested by police but Sutcliffe later requested authorities drop the case.

Now Bean is keen to dismiss any talk of a split by revealing their plans to start a family.

The actor, who has three daughters from his previous marriages, is hoping to hire his children to look after any kids he and Sutcliffe may have in the future.

He says, "The older ones can babysit too. But only if I can get them because they are always out on a Saturday night. That would be handy!"
