Russell Brand is ready to have children.
The 38-year-old comic is smitten with girlfriend Jemima Khan - who already has sons Sulaiman, 17, and Qasim, 14, from her marriage to former cricketer Imran Khan - and is keen for them to get married and start a family together.
A source said: "Russell has made no secret of wanting children. It's all he talks about. They are also planning to get married. But it seems that starting a family is Russell's priority."
However, Jemima, 40, has not yet committed to his plans.
The source added to Britain's Grazia magazine: "She is totally smitten with Russell but she's still got her head screwed on, so any future decision will not be taken lightly."
The 'Despicable Me 2' star's desire to have kids was one of the reasons his 14-month marriage to Katy Perry broke down in December 2011.
The 29-year-old singer has since revealed: "Russell really wanted me to have children and I knew I wasn't ready.
"I think it was a way of control. I'd have to be home more."

Enrique Iglesias thinks sex is vital to relationships.
The Latino star, who has been in an on/off relationship with tennis player Anna Kournikova since 2001, believes love doesn't work without the physical side of things.
Quizzed which of the two things in his new album's title, 'Sex + Love', he couldn't live without, he pondered: "That's a tough one! Some couples would say that sex isn't important but I tend to disagree with that. Sex is extremely important! Sex keeps you alive... but obviously without love... I think it's a balance of both.
"I think too much sex can probably be bad, but just love by itself can be difficult - if you're in a relationship that can be difficult to survive. I think you need both."
Enrique's music has become more risqué in his last two albums and he insists his X-rated lyrics and sexy videos - his latest one for 'I'm a Freak' sees him caressing a girl's bottom - are simply an honest reflection of reality.
He told Attitude magazine: "If you'd told me 10 years ago that I was going to sing a song called 'Tonight (I'm F**king You)', I would have told you that you were absolutely nuts! But when I sang that song I personally fell in love with it. I thought it was so straightforward, so direct and so real.
"How many of us have thought about saying that to a person but not had the guts to do it! I think there's an honesty to that. That's why I called the album 'Sex + Love', because sex can be fun, it can be raw, but sometimes one thing it's not is honest."
"Some people might say, 'Oh that's so immature that you would say that' or 'Why are there so many naked people at that party going crazy and drinking?' But I'm like, 'Dude, that's just part of reality!' "

Kimberley Walsh is keeping her baby names a secret.
The former Girls Aloud singer and her boyfriend Justin Scott are expecting their first child together, and while she isn't a fan of "out there" monikers, she doesn't want their choices to be criticised.
She said: "Giovanna and Tom Fletcher [McBusted singer] recently named their son Buzz Michaelangelo which is a bit out-there for me, but names are such a personal thing.
"We haven't thought of any names yet, but when we do I won't tell anyone because if people make it obvious they don't like them, it puts you off.
"Once we name our baby, we'll wait to tell people - then they aren't going to be able to say anything. Plus, I don't want anyone to steal my names."
Kimberley recently broke her wrist and is having her loved ones help her out wish everyday tasks.
She wrote in her column for Britain's OK! magazine: "I've enlisted everyone's help since I'm in a cast. Justin's been washing my hair and dressing me, and my sisters Amy and Sally have been popping over to do my make-up.
"Bless them, they're doing a good job so far. But seriously, how much attention does one woman need? Not only pregnant but pregnant with a broken wrist!"

EastEnders' Bianca Jackson will accuse her boyfriend of trying to seduce her daughter.
The soap star, played by actress Patsy Palmer, will make a terrible mistake when she accuses her boyfriend Terry Spraggan (Terry Alderton) of making a move on her adopted daughter Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) when she walks on him with his arm around her.
A source said: "Bianca's overreaction is caused by memories of Tony King, who sexually abused Whitney.
"Terry is nothing like Tony, of course. But the sight of his arm around Whitney is enough to remind Bianca of what happened in the past, and she panics that history is about to repeat itself."
Bianca is currently going through a difficult time on the BBC One soap as she is waiting to hear the results of her and her sister Sonia Fowler's (Natalie Cassidy) cancer gene tests and while Terry is simply trying to comfort Whitney, she jumps to the wrong conclusion.
The source told Inside Soap magazine: "Terry can tell that Bianca is stressed and helps her by keeping the kids entertained.
"In the midst of all the turmoil, Whitney is still mortified about the pass she recently made at her gay friend, Johnny. After Terry sees that she's upset, he tries to console her - which is when Bianca walks in and believes that something rather more sinister is taking place."
'EastEnders' fans will see Bianca realise what a horrible mistake she's made in episodes set to air next week.

Jennifer Aniston wants to bring 'Friends' to Broadway.
The 45-year-old actress is reportedly in "deep talks" to help turn the sitcom, which ran from 1994 until 2004, into a "billion dollar" musical, starring Lea Michele, and wants her friend Sheryl Crow to oversee the project.
A source told gossip website RadarOnline.com: "Jen has completely fallen in love with the idea of a Broadway-ready 'Friends' musical.
"It's even gotten to the point where she's had some deep talks with her friend Sheryl Crow about creating '90s style music for the project, which of course would feature an entirely new crop of actors playing young versions of the now 40-something 'Friends' stars."
The insider added: "Jen has told friends that 'Glee' singing powerhouse Lea Michele would make the perfect Rachel in this project, and it simply becomes a matter of convincing Jen's good friend, Warner Bros. executive Peter Roth, of the viability of the idea.
"The show's creators can actually be bypassed if Jen can get the studio on-board.
"Jen thinks the whole idea is hilarious and too fun to pass up, and she also jokingly refers to it as her 'billion dollar idea.' "
Jennifer previously poured cold water on rumours she and her former cast mates, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry, were thinking about starring in a 'Friends' film.
She said: "I can't imagine how you would do it. It's not normal. 'Friends' is in your living room; 'Friends' is not in a movie theatre. It doesn't make sense to me. I think it would be going against its authentic self."

He said: "I'm not coming back guys. I'm going to continue my relationship with NBC. I have a television show development deal with them as well and hopefully some other talk show opportunities for later in the year.

Kourtney Kardashian's kids were too sick to go to Thailand.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star, 34, and her partner Scott Disick, 30, were forced to pull out of her family's recent trip to Phuket because their children, Mason, four, and Penelope, 19 months, "came down with a cold."

The 'How We Do' hitmaker, who recently admitted her current boyfriend Calvin Harris is her first love, insists she has changed and evolved since ending her relationship with the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star in late 2012.

Kylie Minogue is very careful about who she dates.
The 'Sexercise' hitmaker, who split from Andres Velencoso last year after five years together, has revealed she gets her staff to meet any potential suitors before she agrees to go out with them.
The 45-year-old star told the UK's 'The Graham Norton Show' on Friday (04.04.14): "I work a lot and I have a team, my people, and there are a few whispers down the corridor and it's stuff like that. It's not vetting, but you kind of have to have your eyes open."

The Australian star appeared on the BBC chat show alongside Russell Crowe and Cameron Diaz, who is also careful when it comes to romance.

But she added: "Thankfully, Andres and I are still in touch. Obviously, not like we used to be... he's a great guy, and that's important ... I'm enjoying that I'm so distracted. I'm not sitting at home pining."
