Just past the halfway point of her pregnancy, the glowing actressalso shared how she is feeling. “I’ve been feeling, I know I feel bad sayingthis, but I felt really great,” the Banshee actress stated. “I haven’t had anycravings. I’ve been craving cucumber with lemon and salt which is so bizarre.But I’ve been feeling really great.”

Though she was wearing a long, flowing dress, thebeginnings of a baby bump were clearly visible at the Saturday event. As shewalked down the blue carpet, hand in hand with a grinning Dave, Odette has nodoubts that he will be the best father. “Dave is meant to be a father,” shecontinued. “He’s been talking about this ever since I met him, and I even saidto myself when we were first dating ‘if I don’t end up with this guy, I wanthim to be the father of my children.’ No joke.”
