Nicole Kidman wants to have another baby.
Despite already having six-year-old daughter Sunday Rose and three-year-old daughter Faith with husband Keith Urban and adopted children Isabella, 21, and 19-year-old Connor with ex-husband Tom Cruise, the 47-year-old actress is still broody for more.
She said: "I had my last one at 43. My grandmother had her last at 49. Every month, I'm like, 'I hope I'm pregnant!' ... I wish I was!"
The 'Grace of Monaco' star also opened up about her decision to marry country music star Keith after just one month of dating, claiming it felt "natural".
Nicole told the new US issue of ELLE magazine: "I'm spontaneous. I jump in ... I kind of like getting married and then getting to know each other. I know it sounds incredibly strange, but to me, it's a more natural process."
The flame-haired beauty also spoke of her relationship with Cruise and working with him on legendary director Stanley Kubrick's 'Eyes Wide Shut'.
She shared: "We loved it. Everyone thought that was when our marriage started to break down - not at all. That movie was a great part of our life together, and I'm glad we have it."

Joaquin Phoenix is not engaged.
In an appearance on 'The Late Show With David Letterman' this week the 'Her' star claimed he had proposed to his yoga instructor girlfriend after she made him perform a complicated movement during a gym session and he realised she was "the one".
But Joaquin has now come out to say it was just a joke and he only uttered it to make the studio audience like him.
Being interviewed by George Stephanopoulos on 'Good Morning America', he confirmed: "I think like my life's so boring, and it seemed like something exciting to talk about, and I wanted the audience to like me. They really like people getting married ... I can get engaged again, if you like?"
In another interview on 'Live! With Kelly and Michael', Joaquin insisted Letterman knew his proposal story was just a gag.
He said: "I did not play a prank on him - he knew that I was joking around."
A representative for the 40-year-old actor has also come out to clarify that he is not getting married, adding: "How about the fact that he happens to have an extraordinary spontaneous sense of humour?"

Justin Bieber dyed his hair to win back Selena Gomez.
The 20-year-old singer showed off his platinum blonde locks at an event in Glendale, California, over the weekend, and is reported to have made the dramatic change to his trademark style in order to entice his former lover back, as she always wanted him to have lighter hair.
A source revealed: "Selena has been telling Justin to highlight his hair for the past year. He was always resistant to the idea so she thinks it's strange that he would decide to dye his hair now. She's surprised how blonde he went."
The on/off couple broke up earlier in 2014 and the 'Beauty and a Beat' hitmaker has reportedly been desperate to entice his former flame back, despite the gestures failing to impress his 22-year-old ex-girlfriend.
Speaking to HollywoodLife.com, the source added: "Selena thinks Justin is trying to get her attention for sure. But if he wants to get back with her, he needs to try a lot harder than just getting his hair dyed,
"She isn't sure yet if she likes his new hair colour. She just isn't happy that he's made no effort to get in touch with her."
Meanwhile, Justin - who was recently rumoured to be dating model Hailey Baldwin before she denied the claims - has been described as "depressed" regarding his single status as he feels alone without the 'The Heart Wants What It Wants' hitmaker.
A source previously said: "Justin has been really depressed. Nothing he's doing so far to get Selena back is working and it's put him in a really dark place.
"He went to New York for a change of scene to try and find new perspective; he's hoping Selena will come and meet up with him."

Britain's Prince William shocked passengers by flying to Washington DC on a commercial plane.
The second-in-line to the British throne opted not to use a private jet for his trip to meet the US President Barack Obama yesterday (08.12.14), instead he settled on flying first class on a commercial flight from New York to the country's capital.
Many customers who were on the domestic flight took to the photo sharing app Instagram to share their amazement.
User Sam Kim wrote: "Our flight was delayed and a caravan of black suburbans pulled up to the plane.
"Then the most unexpected guest stepped onto out DC shuttle flight this morning. (sic)"
While Twitter user Eli Ross noted how "humble" the 32-year-old royal must be.
Alongside a picture of the Prince, Eli wrote: "I am still amazed #Prince William flies COACH. That's pretty humble/awesome. Who knew? (sic)"
His Royal Highness was visiting the President to discuss the problems of the illegal wildlife trade, while his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge spent the morning crafting with children at the Northside Center for Child Development in New York.
The royal couple are enjoying a three-day trip to the United States of America, before returning to the United Kingdom on Wednesday (10.12.14).

Gwen Stefani wants to collaborate with Chris Martin.
The 'Baby Don't Lie' hitmaker is gearing up to release her third solo album, and is still hoping to record a track with the Coldplay frontman after fighting to work with him for a decade.
She said: "I would love to work with Chris Martin. I've tried to get him to work with me for 10 years, so maybe he'll do it this time."
Although the No Doubt star has not managed to secure a collaboration with the 37-year-old singer/songwriter, she revealed Sia - who has also worked on hits such as Rihanna's 'Diamonds' and David Guetta's 'Titanium' - has written a song titled 'Start A War' for her upcoming LP.
Speaking about the Sia, 38, Gwen said: "She's a genius and I love working with her. There's a song on the record called 'Start A War' that she wrote that I'm very grateful for. I think that girls are gonna love that one."
Elsewhere on the as-yet-untitled record, Gwen - who originally forged a solo career in 2004 with the album 'Love. Angel. Music. Baby.' - has worked with Calvin Harris and is still working on new music with Pharrell Williams, who famously wrote her hit single 'Hollaback Girl' and her latest track 'Spark The Fire'.
She explained: "I'm gonna definitely go back in with Pharrell, and I know that I want to work with Diplo. There's so many people!"
The 45-year-old mother-of-three also admitted she has never met 'Boom Clap' hitmaker Charli XCX, despite having a track co-written by the 22-year-old pop star.
She told Spin.com: "She wrote with Benny [Blanco] and then I wrote with Benny separately.
"I wrote her an email and was like, 'This is so weird that I haven't ever met you and now we have this song.' "

Bob Dylan says it was a "privilege" to cover Frank Sinatra on his new album.
The 73-year-old musician will release his 36th studio album, 'Shadows in the Night', next year, comprised of covers of songs once sung by the legendary late crooner but admitted it was a challenge to simplify the original big band arrangements.
He said: "It was a real privilege to make this album. I've wanted to do something like this for a long time but was never brave enough to approach 30-piece complicated arrangements and refine them down for a 5-piece band."
The LP will feature well-known tracks by Sinatra, including 'Stay With Me', as well as versions of 'Autumn Leaves', 'What'll I Do' and 'I'm A Fool To Want You'.
The 'Like a Rolling Stone' singer - who released his last album, 'Tempest', in 2012 - also stripped back the recording process for his new LP, because he believes a studio version of the tracks would not do them justice.
He explained: "That's the key to all these performances. We knew these songs extremely well. It was all done live. Maybe one or two takes. No overdubbing. No vocal booths. No headphones. No separate tracking, and, for the most part, mixed as it was recorded."
Due to the way in which the album has been recorded, Dylan - who unveiled the LP's first track, 'Full Moon and Empty Arms' earlier this year - has assured sceptics his versions of the tracks do not sound like the originals.
Dylan said: "I don't see myself as covering these songs in any way. They've been covered enough. Buried, as a matter a fact. What me and my band are basically doing is uncovering them. Lifting them out of the grave and bringing them into the light of day."
'Shadows in the Night' will be released through Columbia Records on February 3 2015.
The tracklist for the album is as follows:
1. 'I'm A Fool To Want You'
2. 'The Night We Called It A Day'
3. 'Stay With Me'
4. 'Autumn Leaves'
5. 'Why Try To Change Me Now'
6. 'Some Enchanted Evening'
7. 'Full Moon And Empty Arms'
8. 'Where Are You'
9. 'What'll I Do'
10. 'That Lucky Old Son'

Pixie Lott has asked Trent Whiddon to choreograph her next music video.
The 'Lay Me Down' singer was voted off 'Strictly Come Dancing' on the weekend but admits she has no plans to hang up her dancing shoes and has even asked her professional dance partner to work with her on her music career.
She said: "I think Trent's a genius. I'm going to have him choreograph the music video for my next single."
However, the blonde beauty has confessed that despite having had dance training prior to her appearance on the BBC One celebrity dance contest, she did struggle with some of the routines.
The 23-year-old star explained: "The first week where I found it particularly hard was the samba week, because the routine was so fast.
"I finally just felt like it got into my body and then I loved the dance on the night."
Pixie also revealed that while she doesn't panic about performing in front of hundreds of thousands of people in concert, dancing in front of just hundreds in the 'Strictly' studio made her really nervous.
She told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I always think the bigger the better. I find it really strange. When I'm just standing there singing I never get nervous."
Meanwhile, Pixie claims she has "no idea" who's going to win the show but says she's "rooting" for the remaining girls, Caroline Flack and Frankie Sandford.

Daniella Westbrook has had to visit food banks.
The former 'EastEnders' actress confessed yesterday (08.12.14) that she's been living in sheltered housing after losing her home and she's now revealed she's had to collect food from volunteer organisations to feed her and her children.
She said: "I get a small amount of money from my daughter's dad for her ... and that's it really. I've been really very lucky with friends of mine that supply me with a food delivery to the house to help us out.
"And I have been to food banks this year because we haven't had any money. It's been difficult. Friends have pulled together and of them has lent me a little car to drive so I can get the kids to school."
The 41-year-old star - who has 18-year-old son Kai with former partner Robert Fernandez and 13-year-old daughter Jody with ex-husband Kevin Jenkins - insists that although this year has been the worst of her life, she's thankful to her local council for putting a roof over her head.
Speaking on 'This Morning', she admitted: "They got us in somewhere within two weeks, in sheltered accommodation which is like a bedsit, which is where we are now."
Danniella - who has famously struggled with drug addiction in the past - admitted to relapsing earlier this year and claims she's now lost a number of jobs because of it.
She explained: "I've lost all my work. I was supposed to be in Torquay this Christmas in panto [pantomime] and as soon as I got exposed they called and said, 'We can't possibly have her at our theatre', and other work I had lined up, I've lost because I've relapsed."
However, she refuses to place the blame for her current situation entirely on herself, adding: "Being a drug addict, you do bring a lot of stuff on yourself ... I did relapse earlier this year, and I completely admit that. But I was clean for 13 years before that. I messed up. I'm a human being."

Al Pacino has suggested he could appear in an upcoming Marvel film.
The 74-year-old actor has revealed he's met with Kevin Feige, the President of Marvel Studios, and has suggested he may soon star in a comic book-inspired film from the studio behind the 'Thor' and 'Iron Man' movies.
He told the Happy Sad Confused podcast: "I've met with the Marvel guy. It's a Marvel how things happen.
"I would imagine that either there's something he feels is right for me and if I feel..."
At that point, Al was interrupted by a telephone call and quipped it was Marvel calling to prevent him from revealing any spoilers of the film.
Last week, Benedict Cumberbatch was cast in the lead role in Marvel's 'Doctor Strange'.
The 38-year-old Brit was linked to the coveted role for a number of months and his casting was confirmed by the film studio.
Kevin Feige, 41, said: "Stephen Strange's story requires an actor capable of great depth and sincerity. In 2016, Benedict will show audiences what makes Doctor Strange such a unique and compelling character."
The film is being directed by Scott Derrickson, who helmed 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose', and is set for release in October 2016.

Kevin Feige, 41, said: "Stephen Strange's story requires an actor capable of great depth and sincerity. In 2016, Benedict will show audiences what makes Doctor Strange such a unique and compelling character."
The film is being directed by Scott Derrickson, who helmed 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose', and is set for release in October 2016.

Ariana Grande has a "onesie and heels" day to relax.
The 'Break Free' hitmaker loves nothing more than slipping into a comfortable all-in-one pyjamas set when she isn't working.
The 21-year-old pop beauty - who is currently dating 26-year-old rapper Big Sean - shared: "But that's fine, that's OK. As soon as I get home, I'm getting in a onesie! I've even had onesie and heels day. When I throw the heels on with a pyjama moment, I just feel that much better ... Everybody has those days though, so it's totally fine, I don't even mind being seen."
Ariana has revealed a more mature side of herself in her new single 'Love Me Harder' - which features Canadian recording artist The Weeknd - and the songstress is thrilled the watching world is getting to see a different aspect of her personality.
Talking to Will Manning on KISS FM UK, she said: "'Love Me Harder' is a really special one. I've waited so long to show a more serious, darker, mature side of me. I think, partially, because I was a little nervous about it.
"But part of me really just wanted to do that anyway. Just to be like, 'Hey I am an adult, and here is my more adult side.' "
Ariana, whose second studio album, 'My Everything', has been a massive hit this year, revealed she's looking forward to enjoying a traditional Italian family Christmas.
She said: "We have a loud, Italian family, who plays lots of poker. And you know, there's games and gambling, and cooking, and drinking, and festivities, and it's very fun."
