Julianna Margulies has had her share of famous lip-locks, but the actress says that the smooches that stand out the most are the ones that come from her very own leading man -- her husband, Keith Lieberthal.

"At dinner recently, a friend of mine went through the list of leading men I've kissed: Chris Noth, George Clooney, Pierce Brosnan, Aidan Quinn, Matthew McConaughey ... I realized I've been very lucky," Margulies, 44, tells Britain's You magazine. "But my husband is very secure in himself. He knows he has nothing to worry about. To me, none of them compare to him -- he's really rather yummy."

Margulies and Lieberthal married in November 2007 and welcomed a baby boy, Kieran, a few months later. The Good Wife star says that a stable home life was something she had always wanted for herself, after growing up the child of divorced parents, but wishes she hadn't been quite so cautious in her past.

"Because I come from divorce, and because I saw my mother go through many lovers, I always felt that I had to stay in just one relationship for a long time," she says. "And without wishing to take anything away from those experiences, which I enjoyed at the time, I wish that I had allowed myself to play a little more, and not be so serious."

She adds: "I wish I had known in my 20s that I was going to meet the right man and have a child, and that I didn't always have to worry about it and always be the good girl."

But all's well that ends well for Margulies, who admits she hit the jackpot with Lieberthal.

"He knows how to have a good time, how to enjoy life the right way," she says. "He is a deep thinker, but he knows, too, that life is short. He is a man who understands what a good meal and a decent bottle of wine can do."
