LOS ANGELES – LeAnn Rimes wants to have a child with Eddie Cibrian.
The singer-and-actress loves being a stepmother to her husband's children Mason, seven, and four-year-old Jake and says caring for the kids has inspired her to want to start a family of her own.
She said: "They are awesome. And it does make me want to have a child eventually. I enjoy being a stepmom and I'd really love to have a child of our own, but we'll see."
The 29-year-old star - who married Eddie in April 2011 - admitted she never expected to enjoy being around children so much, but is loving the "learning experience".
She told Country Weekly magazine: "We have two right now that are 100 percent taking plenty of time up and it's definitely a learning experience for me, never having been around kids and having kids. They are our number one priority and that's been a totally new thing for me. It's good, but a totally new experience for me. I'm enjoying every minute of it. I didn't realize how much I would enjoy it."
LeAnn recently said she treats Eddie's sons - whose mother is his ex-wife Brandi Glanville - "as her own".
She blogged: "In our house, in our family, we remove the 'step.' We really are all ... simply family. Eddie's sons, I treat as if they are my own.
"Stepmother, Stepfather, Stepchildren - the word 'step' can take on such a connotation to so many in our society. A family is a family. In my eyes. There's no 'step' about it."
