Rihanna is reportedly keen to start a family with Drake.

The 26-year-old beauty recently reconciled her romance with the musician, who she first dated in 2009. Now things are thought to be getting serious between the pair, with Rihanna reportedly hoping to have kids with her beau.

"She feels like she's been working nonstop and wants to step away for a while. Rihanna's also been talking about marrying Drake, but most of all she wants his baby," a source told British magazine Now. "They could end up having a shotgun wedding.

"She's seen her friends have kids and fees like she's missing out. She really wanted a baby when things were good with Chris Brown, but their relationship was too volatile. Everything's much more settled now that she's with Drake."

Rihanna split from Chris after he assaulted her in 2009, shortly before she first struck up a relationship with Drake. She had an on/off relationship with the Loyal singer following his violent behaviour, but it is thought things were called off for good last year.

With a joint tour alongside Eminem coming up later this year, Rihanna apparently doesn't want to waste any time with Drake.

"Even when she reunited with Chris and dated Matt Kemp, Drake was always in the background. Their bond's very strong," the source added.

"The way she's feeling right now, she may even have a baby bump when she goes on stage."
