He added starting a family was "in his destiny", explaining: "I think I'd be an incredible, remarkably overall amazing dad. I would have a very fly child. Very."

Rihanna has always been keen about starting a family. Speaking to British Vogue, the Barbadian star said she hoped to have a healthy brood in ten years time.

"Ten years? I’ll be 42! I’ll be ancient," she said. "I’ll have kids - three or four of ’em.

"The only thing that matters is happiness; that's the only healthy relationship between a parent and a child. That's the only thing that can raise a child truly, is love."

We're so happy for you, RiRi!
