Why Jennie Garth Wants 'Twilight' To Be Over Already

Being married to a vampire may look sexy in the upcoming The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- but as Jennie Garth knows, it has its downsides. Garth has been married to Twilight actor Peter Facinelli for ten years, and she admits that his best-known role -- as Carlisle, the benevolent vampire father figure -- has been a huge strain on the family. In fact, she can't wait for the Twilight films to wrap up!
"Oh, for sure," the actress tells PopEater. "I can't even remember what life is like with a husband." Garth and Facinelli have three daughters, ages 13, 8 and 4, whom the actor tries to see every two to three weeks. The commitment of shooting five consecutive movies on location, though, has made regular visits a challenge. "It gets harder the more time he's gone," Garth admits. "It's more of a challenge to keep everybody connected, and for the girls, they miss him so much, so it's kind of heart-wrenching to see him come and go." The actress says that she doesn't want the family to "become a traveling circus"; her husband's absence is the price that she pays to give her daughters "regular quiet lives." And yet Twilight has put their lives in the spotlight -- especially their oldest daughter, thirteen-year-old Luca Bella, who lives among Twilight-obsessed teens. "I was with her at a soccer tournament over the weekend," Garth recalls, "and there was a gaggle of girls walking by, and one of them said, 'Have you guys seen the super hot Twilight guy?' -- having no idea that was her dad. She said, 'Mom, did you hear those girls?' They were looking for him, having no idea he's across the country right now.'" We understand where they're coming from!
