Blake Lively wants to start family soon

Actress Blake Lively wants to "get started" on having children with her husband Ryan Reynolds.

The 26-year-old, who married the 37-year-old actor in a secret ceremony in September 2012, says they want a "litter of kids", reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I gotta get started. If I could spit out a litter of kids, I would," she said.

Lively loves children and has a strong bond with her nieces and nephews.

She said: "My mom and my dad, my sisters, my brothers, my family is a huge source of inspiration to me, and not just my siblings and my parents, but I look to the children in my family, the purity with which they look at the world, the excitement that they have."
