Bosworth's love for horseback riding led her to her stellar career today. A former champion equestrian, she discovered a casting call for a horse-themed movie when she was 14.
Her breakthrough role was in the 1998 movie "Horse Whisperer," which propelled her into the Hollywood spotlight. She starred in several other films, including the iconic "Blue Crush," with actresses Sanoe Lake and Michelle Rodriguez.
The accomplished actress has a large fan base that frequently speculates about her personal life, including whether or not she has any children. Nonetheless, she proved to be a caring stepmother, showing that motherhood can take many forms.
On Mother's Day 2020, Bosworth organized an online discussion with Jasper and her biological mother, Jo Strettell.
Kate Bosworth Was Considering Having Children with Her Then-Husband
Bosworth tied the knot with Michael Polish in 2013 when she was 30. Polish is also involved in the entertainment industry as a director and writer. They were married for a decade.
In a 2014 interview, Bosworth shared her thoughts on parenthood and the possibility of having children in the early stages of her marriage. She mentioned having developed maternal instincts, which included learning how to cook.

Kate Bosworth Has Built a Good Relationship with Her Stepdaughter
In 2011, Bosworth became a stepmother to Polish's daughter, Jasper. The actress shared that while she felt like a child herself at the time, she also recognized the importance of taking a step toward building a relationship with Jasper.
Since then, Bosworth has become an excellent stepmother. On Mother's Day 2020, Bosworth organized an online discussion with Jasper and her biological mother, Jo Strettell.
During the trio's honest conversations, Bosworth and Strettell addressed the negative social stereotype that stepmothers oppose biological mothers instead of avoiding them.
Bosworth emphasized that despite speaking to Strettell several times in the past ten years, they never had the opportunity to analyze their relationship thoroughly.
Both the actress and Jasper's mother have also discussed unique parenting. They aimed to show people in similar situations that love is the best way to deal with relationships. Bosworth stated on her website:
"I am forever grateful to you, Jo. For having the courage to be honest and vulnerable with me throughout this conversation."
Bosworth did not only show off her parenting skills as a loving stepmother to Strettell's daughter, but she also portrayed the role excellently in the recently released coming-of-age film "Along for the Ride."
She took the role hoping to change the stereotype of evil stepmothers. She described her experience as a real-life stepmother as full of warmth, love, and connection. Her role in the film influenced her positive relationship with Jasper.
Bosworth's connection with Jasper remains even after the actress divorced her father in March 2023. The dazzling actress recently went to New York, where she spent quality time with her stepdaughter.
Kate Bosworth Got Engaged to Justin Long
Following her divorce from Polish, Bosworth has been in a happy relationship with actor Justin Long. Bosworth and her new beau recently announced their engagement on their Instagram accounts.
Long's photo showed Bosworth with a smiling face and a stunning engagement ring, while Bosworth expressed her gratitude for Long's presence in her life on her page.
The newly-engaged couple first met while working on the film "House of Darkness" in 2021 and were linked romantically the following year after being spotted together in Hawaii.
Long has never been married; like Bosworth, he has no children. However, when Long was in a relationship with Amanda Seyfried in 2015, she expressed her readiness to have children.
Although Bosworth has begun a new chapter in her personal life with her new fiancé, she remains dedicated to her commitment to Jasper as a caring stepmother.
