'Maybe I'm not ready': Charli xcx doesn't 'really want' children'

Charli xcx doesn't want to have children.

The 33-year-old singer has revealed that the prospect of starting a family with her husband George Daniel is not something that appeals to her at present - although her views "could change" in the future.

Charli told Smartless podcast: "I actually don't really want to have kids.

"I love the fantasy of having a child. Like, naming it sounds so fun. But I'm like, that is exactly a sign to me as to why I should not have one. The fact that that feels like the coolest part of it, I'm like, 'Maybe I'm not ready.'"

Meanwhile, the Apple hitmaker revealed that her upbringing as an only child left her unprepared for situations of "conflict".

Charli said: "I don't have any siblings. I actually think not having siblings actually means that you miss out on a lot of conflict, and I mean that in, actually, a bad way. I think my friends that have siblings are so much better at conflict, as in, they don't kind of, amplify into this huge dramatic thing.

"They're able to move through it a lot more quickly than I am because they know how to diffuse it."
