Diane Krugerspent her recent birthday in her favorite place!
TheInglourious Basterdsstar, who celebrated her 43rd birthday on Monday, spent the special day in Paris, France, with boyfriend andWalking DeadstarNorman Reedusand their 8-month-old daughter.
“And it was Bastille Day on Sunday, so they had fireworks at midnight, and you know,” Kruger added of the celebratory family time.
Talk show hostsKelly RipaandRyan Seacrestgushed over Kruger’s ability to speak French, joking that when they visit the City of Light, locals give up on speaking their native language to them.
“We speak English with a French accent,” Ripa joked.
Kruger explained that she mastered the language when she moved to France at age 15, saying she “had to, because nobody speaks English to you, as you know.”
Kruger’s birthday included some activities that weren’ttotallyfamily-friendly, though: she told the hosts that she and Reedus went to the famous Crazy Horse cabaret show.
“So I took Norman, he was like, is it my birthday or is it yours?” Kruger said with a laugh. “He was literally like” — Kruger mimicked her beau’s open mouth — “I was like come on, close your mouth. It’s cute.”
“It’s so fabulous. I’ve been a few times, and this one in particular right now is really good, the show,” Kruger added. “It’s beautiful, though. Those girls are amazing dancers.”
“She’s so big, it’s crazy,” Kruger said of her little bundle of joy. “She’s teething, and it’s like, you know — so the nights can be hard for her. She’s, you know, drooling all over.”
TheNational Treasureactress also revealed that her daughter inherited her own love for France.
“But she loves Paris,” Kruger said. “It’s the second time in her life she’s in Paris.”
Kruger and Reedus have been purposefully keeping their little one out of the spotlight.

“While we understand that some people would like to see a picture of our daughter, we as parents, want nothing more than allow her to grow up in privacy and safety,” she went on. “Me and @bigbaldhead would kindly ask you not to repost these pictures and help us achieve that goal.”
Kruger concluded: “Whoever has already posted them, please take them down. Please put yourself in our shoes. We are just like any parent wanting the very best for our child. Thank you for your support.”
