First comes love, then comes marriage.. then comes? Yep, you guessed it, just as talk of the marriage between Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi is dying down, the couple say they are thinking about starting a family.

Gorgeous actress Portia, revealed the couple have already discussed having children.

"We go back and forth, I don't know if it's our immediate future. It's something we talk about every few months" Said the 35-year old.

In typical fashion, comedian Ellen has joked she would love to be a mother to “pretty kids”, like the six children Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have together.

Ellen said: “If they would be as pretty as Brad and Angelina’s kids, we might.

"It's something we would never take lightly and just say, 'That would be fun.' It's a lot of work and we recognise that."

But the couple won’t be heading to the sperm bank just yet. Ellen has added that the newlyweds want to enjoy married life for a while before they think about children.
