Queen Latifah: I want to be a mum

The 'Bessie' star said she wanted to put off having children to get 'partying out of her system', but she is now ready to settle down and start a family, reported Contactmusic.

"I can't say what God has for me, but you will see. You'll see when I'm lugging the baby on the hip that there is actually a youngin (sic) around here. Maybe I'll adopt a child that's not necessarily a baby. There are a lot of kids that need love out there. I want to be there for somebody. I got to get all this stuff and give it somebody (sic)," she said.

It is unclear if the 45-year-old is currently in a relationship or if she is open to welcoming a child as a single parent.
