Billie PiperBillie Piper is reportedly told friends she wants to start a family as soon as possible but will adopted her first child.

The former Doctor Who star married Laurence Fox on New Year’s Eve and a source close to the couple told the Sun: “Billie is one of four children and Laurence has a huge extended family.”

“Her dream is her, Laurence and a big brood of kids running around barefoot in their Sussex home with chickens.”

“One of the reasons she and Laurence married just a few months after meeting was because Billie was already feeling broody and she wanted to be in wedlock when she started a family.”

The source went on to reveal that the couple have thought about having a biological baby but at the moment, Billie “loves the idea of helping to give a home to a baby that really needs one”.

“Billie really sees the value in family much more than she did before.”

“Her home is a constant flurry of visitors and phone calls, and that’s just how she likes it.”

“She can’t wait to have her own kids to add to the equation.”
