Kimberley Walsh is planning to start a family with her boyfriend Justin Scott next year.
The Girls Aloud star turns 30 in 2012 and she's determined not to let her career get in the way of her dreams of marriage and children.
The 'Love Machine' hitmakers are currently on hiatus and planning a high-profile comeback next year - and Walsh aims to settle down with Scott once the reunion is over.
The singer, who is currently standing in for pregnant Amanda Holden in the West End stage show Shrek The Musical, tells Fabulous magazine, "I'm lucky to have (Scott) and I'm definitely, definitely thinking marriage and babies.
"I always said I wanted loads of kids, but I'm 30 next year and wondering when I'm going to fit them all in.
"We still think of ourselves as really young, but actually we do need to get going! We've bought our first proper house together, which is a home rather than a place to live. I'm incredibly lucky to be financially secure and to be with the man I want to be with for the rest of my life.
"I've got no excuses, really - apart from that I need to get through this show and then we're talking about the Girls Aloud reunion next year... And then maybe I should get on with it."
