Jay-Z ready for babies

Jay-Z wants to start a family with wife Beyonce Knowles, despite the 'Crazy In Love' singer recently saying she doesn't want babies yet.

Jay-Z is ready to start a family with wife Beyonce Knowles.

The couple - who almost never speak about their relationship publicly - are reportedly trying for a baby and rapper Jay-Z can't wait to become a father.

Although Jay-Z has admitted he is ready for fatherhood, it seems Beyonce is trying to keep the couple's baby plans under wraps.

The 'Sweet Dreams' singer - who has been married to the hip-hop star for 18 months - recently claimed she wasn't ready to have a baby right now but does eventually want to be a mother.

She said: "It's not time for that yet. But definitely there will be a time. I want to be a great mother, the kind of mother that I have. I want the same bond that I had with my mom and that would be enough for me.

"The security and love I feel being in a relationship, a marriage, it's absolutely incredible. Incredible."
