ellen degeneresEllen DeGeneres has hinted that she and wife Portia di Rossi are thinking of starting a family - but they’re not rushing into anything.

She told AOL TV: “I think that is one of the things about not being able to just accidentally get pregnant and have a child. You really, really have to want one, whether it’s trying to figure out how you get pregnant or if you adopt.

“I think that’s even more of a reason that people that aren’t able to have kids should be allowed to adopt because you have to really want a kid, and that’s a big responsibility. So we are not taking it lightly. We would really think about it before we did it.”

But she joked that she does get a little broody when she sees GAP Kids adverts: “When I see those print ads that have the babies in them for Gap, maybe that’s cute that you have a little Gap knit sweater on the head, little Gap outfit.

“They advertise kids very well, those Gap ads. I don’t even look at the clothes - I just go, ‘That’s a cute baby, I’ll take that one.’”
