'Yes, I would like to have children and a family, soon if possible,' she told F Magazine.
'But it doesn't just depend on me. As we know, love is unpredictable, you never know when true love will come. Relationships can't be controlled: life is not a movie.'

'I feel an immense instinct to protect children, because they are defenseless and innocent beings who need adults to feel safe,' the Ballerina star added.
Though neither Ana nor Tom has officially confirmed they're a couple, the two have been spotted together multiple times since February, most notably taking a helicopter ride and dining out in London ahead of Ana's 37th birthday.

Oasis blasted in South Korea over controversial rising Sun music video; ‘Never set foot here again'
Oasis received criticism after posting a video of a rising sun, which Asian fans claimed was very similar to a representation of Japanese imperialism and Second World War militarism. The Oasis music video has a stylized sun motif with radiating rays that reoccur across a variety of locales, including urban settings and graphic countryside.(AFP FILE) The band posted a music video for their song 'Morning Glory' on social media on August 8. The clip has a stylized sun motif with radiating rays that reoccur across a variety of locales, including urban settings and graphic countryside. Fans of South Korea were outraged that the film was released only days before the country's Liberation Day on August 15, which honors its freedom from Japanese colonial oppression, and quickly pointed out the similarity to the Rising Sun Flag. Later this year, Oasis will perform in South Korea and Japan. On October 21, they will take the stage at Gyeonggi province's Goyang Sports Complex. On October 25 and 26, they will hold two shows at the Tokyo Dome. History of Rising Sun Flag The Imperial Japanese Army and Navy used the Rising Sun Flag, or 'Kyokujitsu-ki' in Japanese, which depicts a red sun with sixteen outward-extending rays, from the late 19th century until Japan's defeat in 1945. The flag is commonly seen in nations like South Korea, North Korea, and China as a representation of military rule, colonial enmity, and wartime crimes was used during Japan's imperial expansion, despite the fact that it is still flown by Japan's Self-Defense Forces today. Proponents of its use contend that it conjures unpleasant historical recollections like the Nazi swastika's symbolism in Europe.

Otherwise, fire them and get someone else,' one X user wrote. 'Don't you want to sincerely apologize for the Rising Sun Flag and delete the video? Many Korean fans, including myself, are very disappointed,' another commented on the group's Instagram post. 'You can't plead ignorance forever. At some point, it's not a mistake. It's a choice,' a third person said. Controversy around Oasis has already occurred in the region. Frontman Liam Gallagher was criticized in July for using a word that is commonly known to be racist and disparaging to East Asians on social media. 'I'm sorry if I upset anyone,' Gallagher said after removing the post in response to public outcry. 'I love all people and do not discriminate. Peace and love.'

Michelle Obama's blunt take on Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese' WNBA drama: ‘You know these young kids today…'
Former First Lady Michelle Obama is weighing in on the WNBA's most talked-about rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. Former First Lady Michelle Obama comments on the intense rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese (Photo by Arturo Holmes / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / Getty Images via AFP)(Getty Images via AFP) Obama, speaking candidly on the All The Smoke podcast, criticised the 'horrible opinions' swirling around the two young stars and pointed to how social media fuels so negativity. The Clark–Reese rivalry has roots in college basketball, where the two faced off in the 2023 NCAA women's championship. Reese, then with LSU, delivered her now-famous ring-finger gesture toward Clark after sealing the Tigers' title over Iowa. ALSO READ| Amid quashed divorce rumours, Michelle Obama's birthday wish for husband Barack Obama is 'everything'! Fast forward to 2024, both athletes entered the WNBA, and the intensity hit another level this season when Clark was assessed a flagrant one foul after making contact with Reese during a rebound attempt. Reese quickly stood up to confront her opponent before teammates and coaches stepped in to separate them. The clip exploded online, becoming one of the defining viral moments of the 2025 WNBA season. Obama condemns the 'horrible opinions' that have been shared on Clark-Reese drama 'I think the tough thing is the social media element to it, but that's true across the board,' Obama said. 'I mean, we've talked about this on our show. It just, you know, it just takes a normal occurrence. You know these young kids today, what they have to go through, what they have to be able to withstand because social media is such a huge part of their world.' 'I mean, you know, there's the hate, but now the hate is in your room on your phone with you all the time. And you can't, for whatever reason, tell these kids to turn it off because they're making their living that way. I mean, that they now are expected to stay engaged. So, I think that makes it feel even worse. But, as you point out, that's happening in sports across gender. It's just harder now to withstand other people's horrible, horrible opinions.' ALSO READ| Trump slammed as 'insecure' for hiding Obama, Bush White House portraits Interestingly, Reese dismissed Clark's foul as nothing more than basketball, calling it a 'basketball play.' Clark echoed that sentiment, saying, 'Let's not make it something that it's not. It was just a good play on the basketball. I'm not sure what the ref saw to upgrade it, and that's up to their discretion. It's a take foul to put them at the free throw line. I've watched a lot of basketball in my life, that's exactly what it was. I wasn't trying to do anything malicious. That's not the type of player I am.'

August global fiction: Six novels from around the world to add to your bookshelf
All information sourced from publishers. Good and Evil and Other Stories, Samanta Schweblin, translated from the Spanish by Megan McDowell A gripping blend of the raw, the astonishing and the tragic, every story is as perfectly unexpected as a snare: tightly, exquisitely wound, ready to snap at a touch. Here, a young father is haunted by the consequences of a moment of distraction; tragedy is complicated by the inexplicable appearance of an injured horse; an attempted poisoning leads two writers to startling conclusions; a lonely woman's charity is rewarded with home invasion. And in the shocking opening story, a mother surfaces from the depths of the lake behind her house, where she saw something awful yet alluring. Guilt, grief and relationships severed permeate this mesmerising collection – but so do unspeakable bonds of family, love and longing, each sinister and beautiful. M aggie; or, A Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar, Katie Yee A man and a woman walk into a restaurant. The woman expects a lovely night filled with endless plates of samosas. Instead, she finds out her husband is having an affair with a woman named Maggie. A short while after, her chest starts to ache. She walks into an examination room, where she finds out the pain in her breast isn't just heartbreak – it's cancer. She decides to call the tumour Maggie. Unfolding in fragments over the course of the ensuing months, Maggie; Or, a Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar, follows the narrator as she embarks on a journey of grief, healing, and reclamation. She starts talking to Maggie (the tumour), getting acquainted with her body's new inhabitant. She overgenerously creates a 'Guide to My Husband: A User's Manual' for Maggie (the other woman), hoping to ease the process of discovering her ex-husband's whims and quirks. She turns her children's bedtime stories into retellings of Chinese folklore passed down by her own mother, in an attempt to make them fall in love with their shared culture – and to maybe save herself in the process. The Mark, Fríða Ísberg, translated from the Icelandic by Larissa Kyzer The Icelandic Psychological Association has prepared a test. They call it a sensitivity assessment: a way of measuring a person's empathy and identifying the potential for anti-social behaviour. In a few days' time, Iceland will vote on whether to make the test compulsory for every citizen. The nation is bitterly divided. Some believe the test makes society safer; others decry it as a violation. As the referendum draws closer, four people – Vetur, Eyja, Tristan and Ólafur – find themselves caught in the teeth of the debate. Each of them will have to reckon with uncomfortable questions: Where do the rights of society end and the rights of the individual begin? When does utopia become dystopia? Who Will Remain?, Kasim Ali Amir has grown up in Alum Rock, Birmingham, under the care of his sensible older brother, Bilal, and his cousin Saqib, born just a few days before Amir. Alum Rock can be a troubled place, but Amir has managed to keep his head down, worked hard and stayed out of trouble … until now. When Saqib is killed in a gang fight and Bilal announces his engagement, Amir suddenly loses the two men who keep him grounded. Amir's university grades are collapsing, he's running out of money, and pressure mounts from every direction. As tensions flare, the friends left around him start to draw Amir into their more dangerous pursuits, and the family ties that have bound him so completely begin to unravel. Amir decides he only has himself to rely on and must take his future into his own hands. Seesaw Monster, Kotaro Isaka, translated from the Japanese by Sam Malissa Miyako suspects her mother-in-law is a murderer. It's not just a case of them rubbing each other up the wrong way – there is definitely something suspicious going on. But Miyako isn't exactly what she seems either. Her husband has no idea about her past life as a secret agent. When she decides to use her professional skills to investigate her mother-in-law, the delicate equilibrium of their lives is thrown wildly out of balance. Many decades later, in a future world where electronic communication has been irrevocably compromised, confidential messages must be delivered by trusted couriers like Mito. But one delivery pulls Mito into a conspiracy beyond his wildest imaginings, and forces him into a race against time to defeat a world-changing technological threat. Opt Out, Carolina Setterwall, translated from the Swedish by Deborah Bragan-Turner Everything will be fine. That is what Mary and John promise when they tell their two children that they are getting a divorce. But while the end of their marriage offers them both freedom from their dissatisfaction, it brings to the fore the pain and resentments that have always percolated through their relationship and throws into stark relief their shortcomings as partners and as parents. While John finds a second chance at love – still retaining the support of their children – Mary is forced to contend with the fact that, having always yearned for the approval of others, she is thoroughly unprepared for the waves of change that are coming to reshape her life. Told from the alternating perspectives of Mary and John as they separately navigate life in the wake of their separation, Opt Out is an astute examination of the constrictive power of gender roles, and a reckoning with our impossibly idealised conceptions of motherhood.
