Chrissy Teigen "can't wait" to see John Legend use Viagra when he gets older.
The 28-year-old model is looking forward to growing old with the 'All of Me' hitmaker, whom she married last year following 10 years of dating, and is even thinking about how they might require the help of the erectile dysfunction treatment to boost their sex life.
Speaking to Us Weekly magazine about how her life has changed since tying the knot, she said: "I think you are just more comfortable talking about the future more. I was the kind of girl that never talked about marriage and kids ... [Now] you just end up talking about everything as forever which is very cool.
"It's nice to be able to be like, 'I can't wait to see you with grey hair, it's going to be hysterical.' Or, 'I can't wait until you have to use Viagra.' "
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty is planning to have "a lot" of children with the 35-year-old singer but admits their conflicting work schedules make it impossible for them to start trying for a baby at the moment.
She explained: "I want a huge family. We want a lot of kids. When it happens, it happens. For us it's hard because he's on the road so much and I'm working.
"People think it happens so easily ... but the stars really have to align to have a baby and it is a little miracle so when it happens ... we will be so happy."

John Cusack: Young fame is hard


John Cusack thinks being a child star is "brutal".
The 'High Fidelity' actor - who appeared in his first film 'Class' aged 16 - believes finding fame at a young age can be a "damaging" experience and feels he's had a lucky escape.
When asked how he felt about the treatment of child stars, he told Shortlist magazine: "Yeah, its brutal. I got into films [at the age] where it can do a lot of damage - 16. I started with people who got damaged.
"But it's different now. It's much worse than it was. Back then, there was an expectation of private life. There were areas you could go and make mistakes [without public attention] because what else were you going to do between the ages of 16 and 25 but make mistakes."
The 48-year-old actor's latest film 'Maps To The Stars' is due out next week and has been described as an extension of "obscene and crazy" Hollywood life, although he insists the movie is "tame" in comparison to the difficulties facing young stars.
He explained to Shortlist magazine: "Here we are in Toronto at the Toronto International Film Festival, and there's a TV channel doing live 'breaking news' coverage that is tracking - in real time - Justin Bieber's movements into a mall. This movie is tame in comparison."

The former Spice Girl is said to have clashed with those closest to her due to her relationship with Stephen Belafonte, with Victoria Beckham put off by their raunchy behaviour.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Mel and Stephen are obsessed with sex. It's all they seem to talk about and they are at it whenever they have a free moment.

"Some people just can't handle being around her. Her and Victoria Beckham do not get on at all."

The former Girl Aloud singer - who has six-month-old daughter Anaiya with her fiance Jason Bell - has admitted neither of the ex-bandmates shared their respective good news with each other.

She added: "I heard from one of my best friends who came to LA from the UK.

Judi Dench to skip Oscars


Dame Judi Dench won't be attending the Oscars next year.

Jerry Hall’s drunken catwalk classes


Jerry Hall used to give her daughters catwalking lessons when they were children.
The Texan supermodel used to entertain her kids and their friends - which, for 20-year-old Georgia May Jagger, included Suki Waterhouse - by showing off her modelling poses when she had had a few glasses of wine.
Georgia said: "After a couple of glasses of wine, my mum would start teaching us how to catwalk in the living room.
"But it would be completely 1980s style with three twirls and a big pose at the end.
"Shows are so boring now, but at the same time I wouldn't know how to be like Mum was with all the theatrics. I'd give it a go though."
Georgia can't believe how far she, Suki and their other friend Cara Delevingne have come in the last few years.
She added to Britain's Grazia magazine: "It's crazy. I've known Suki since I was 11. We were in Year 7 together and then school all the way until we were 16. I didn't meet Cara until later, but we became friends immediately.
"The last three years have been mental - we went from being together at Glastonbury and now they're in movies."

Nicki Minaj leads quiet life


Nicki Minaj hates going out.
The 'Super Bass' singer admits she is different to other stars because of her low-key lifestyle but she prefers staying at home cooking food and watching her favourite TV shows to going to parties.
She said: "I'm in a surreal world, but I'm so normal in it.
"Most people that I know in the industry have maids, housekeepers, 10 bodyguards and a masseuse with them at all times. Everyone around me is like, 'You're so much more low-key than I thought.'
"But I don't like going out, i don't like crowds, I don't like clubs. If I do have downtime, I prefer being in the house cooking West Indian food and watching my DVR."
The 31-year-old rapper - who was born in Trinidad and moved to Jamaica when she was five years old - thinks she has always been "brave" and has never been afraid to stand up for herself.
She told Dazed and Confused magazine: "I've always been brave. [My mother] made me feel like I could do anything.
"I can always remember standing up to the baddest girls in elementary school. Wherever I went, there was always a mean girl and that girl would always hate me because I wouldn't bow down."
