Dua Lipa has revealed she would 'love' to have children with her fiance Callum Turner after conforming their engagement.
The singer, 29, publicly shared her excitement in an interview with British Vogue, speaking about her future plans for the first time since the actor, 35, popped the question.
Dua said: 'I'd love to have kids one day. But it's like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time – how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I'd have to take.'
She added: 'I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children.'
Confirming their engagement, Dua went on: 'Yeah we're engaged. It's very exciting.
'This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever - it's a really special feeling.'
Speaking of their wedding plans, Dua said she hoped to finish her tour and Callum to wrap up filming before they tie the knot.
While the wedding hasn't been at the forefront of her mind amid her busy schedule touring, she did admit she has started to think about her dress.
Dua said: 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period. I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden, I'm like: "Oh, what would I wear?"'

Dua has revealed she's 'obsessed' with her engagement ring, adding: 'It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.'
Dua and Callum had many 'Sliding Doors moments', where they were in the same place at the same time without realizing, before being introduced to one another at the River Cafe in London. A year later, she was having dinner in Los Angeles with her friend Mustafa the Poet when 'all of a sudden' Callum appeared.
She thought: 'Oh, it's that really hot guy from The River Cafe.'
During their conversation, the pair realized they both 'just happened to be reading' Hernan Diaz's novel Trust.
Asked if she feels they were destined to be together, she replied: 'One thousand per cent.'
Before making her romance public, Dua revealed during promotion for her album Radical Optimism that she had to find her 'confidence' again after previous relationships had gone awry.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, she said: 'In terms of relationships, I needed to get to this place in order to find what I really needed. You have to be in the act of forgiveness and growing and learning, and being okay with the past in order to move on with what's to come next.
'So it's, for me, Happy for You is a beautiful, happy song, because it's so reflective of my journey.
'I think with every relationship, with every experience you learn about yourself, you learn about things that are hurtful to you, what you expect, what you should be ready to give as well.
'I think, again, it goes back to that exchange of vulnerability. I think I've had relationships which have been really hurtful, especially earlier on, where I feel like I've been made to feel like not good enough or have made me lose my confidence and I've had to find that again.
'You learn about your own non-negotiables. I think that's an important thing. It's of course the right person, but it's really about the right relationship.
'You find that in friendships and in love relationships as well, of your non-negotiables.'
