Katy Perry: I want lots of kids

The American singer married the British comedian earlier this year, after they began dating in 2009. Russell popped the question on New Year’s Eve last year, and since then the couple have been inseparable.

Katy has now spoken of her love for Russell, explaining he is like no one she has ever met before. The two are already planning a family, with Katy keen to have a large brood.

“Absolutely. I don’t want to miss out on any experience. I want lots of children. It’s all very possible,” she explained.

“What can I say? He’s brilliant. Every day he amazes me. He makes me laugh like no-one else. We are each other’s perfect match.”

The 26-year-old is looking forward to spending the festive period with her 35-year-old spouse and their families. At the time of the interview the pair hadn’t finalised their plans, but Katy is keen to make Christmas extra special this year. She plans to incorporate some things she always does with her family with some new customs, to mark the start of her married life.

“There will be me and Russ and a pink Christmas tree and a tofu-urky. We’ll open one present the night before because that’s the tradition in my family,” she explained to Grazia magazine. “And we’ll do something new. We’ll start our own new tradition because we are a family now.”

Katy added she is proud the pair managed to keep their Indian wedding private when it took place in October. It was important to both of them that it was as personal as possible, and she is relieved they managed to stop any pictures of the ceremony leaking.

The star was adamant the union shouldn’t be a “public event”, explaining she wanted it to be about the love she and Russell have for each other.
