Teri HatcherIt looks like it’s another case of art becoming reality for Teri Hatcher: while she’s not a housewife, she’s started describing herself as “desperate” when it comes to love.

She’s told the US magazine Ladies’ Home Journal, “I don’t want to get married. But I want to be monogamous and I want to be with somebody I can trust and I can really divulge who I am, and all my secret fabulous mysterious passions, some of them dark and some of them not.”

She’s been single for nearly a year and says she is sick of having to “roll over to an empty slot in bed” but isn’t resorting to dating agencies or single ads just yet - because she suspects the tabloids would have a field day if she did.

“Can you imagine the National Enquirer?!” she laughed.
