Emily VanCamp is "excited" to have children.
The 27-year-old star can't wait to start a family of her own with her boyfriend, her 'Revenge' co-star Josh Bowman, and admits her desire to have a baby has gotten stronger with age.
When asked what has surprised her about herself, she said: "How excited I am to have children! It never seemed tangible, but my sister just had a baby - beautiful little Ivy - and my sister Alison is having a baby boy. Suddenly, it's like that part of my life is real."
She added: "I find myself dreaming about it all the time. In your late 20s, you start to realise you can't call yourself a baby any more."
Although she is in a very happy relationship, Emily has remained tight-lipped on her relationship with 26-year-old Josh - whom she has been dating since 2011 - because she likes to keep her private life separate from her work.
She explained in the April edition of ELLE Canada magazine: "Josh and I keep it all very separate. I barely talk about him in interviews, to be honest."
However, the blonde beauty - who plays Emily Thorne in the US TV show - admits her family find it odd watching her on-screen with Josh, who plays aggressive Daniel Grayson, because they are entangled in a bitter and abusive relationship on-screen.
She said: "It's hard for my family to watch - it's also hard for them to see me in that light. But we're actors. None of that lives in any of us. Thank God!"

Mary-Kate Olsen's engagement ring reportedly cost $81,250.
The actress-turned-designer is set to marry her partner of two years, Olivier Sarkozy - who is the half-brother of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy - after she was spotted flaunting a massive sparkler last week, and it has now emerged the vintage Cartier ring was bought at a Sotheby's auction on February 6.
According StyleCaster, the band boasts a four-carat European-cut diamond surrounded by 16 calibré-cut sapphires and 1.5 carats of diamonds.
It dates back to 1953 and was apparently previously owned by "a Tennessee collector".
Mary-Kate flaunted her new accessory for the second time at the Louis Vuitton show at Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday (04.03.14).
The marriage will be Mary-Kate's first and Oliver's second, after his union to Charlotte Bernard, with whom he has two teenage children, Julien and Margot.
The fashionista and the banker live in New York where they have a $6.25 million townhouse, but their union has caused some controversy due to their 17-year age gap.
Mary-Kate previously commented: "Everyone has an opinion. I find it's better to focus on what's in front of you and to keep putting one foot in front of the other."
