Nicole Scherzinger can't wait to be a mom.

The Sunset Boulevard star, 45, opened up about her hopes of one day starting a family in a new interview with The Times, telling the outlet she "would love to" have kids someday soon.

"Oh my gosh, I would love to. I’ve never shied away from that. I can’t wait," said the singer, who is engaged to former Scottish rugby union player Thom Evans. "The clock is ticking."

"I want to have a baby but work calls," added Scherzinger, who will make her Broadway debut in a revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard on Sept. 28. "But I’m going to have to make time because, yes, I cannot wait to have children.”

Asked if her mom has been pressing her for grandkids, the former Pussycat Doll singer said she hasn't been pushing.

"No, because my mother knows how hard I work and how passionate I am about what I do. She is a faithful woman and she just knows, everything in God’s timing."

Scherzinger met Evans when he was a contestant on The X Factor: Celebrity in 2019 and she was a judge. Though rumors swirled that the two were dating not long ager, neither Scherzinger nor Evans confirmed their relationship until they made their red carpet debut at a Golden Globes afterparty in January 2020.
