Alicia Keys ready for family

Alicia Keys thinks starting a family will be "the most beautiful experience" she will ever have.

The "Doesn't Mean Anything" singer - who got engaged to music producer Swizz Beats in January - can't wait to settle down and become a mother but admits there are lots of things she wants to do with her career first.

She said: "I absolutely am very interested in starting a family. It is one of the most beautiful experiences to have in this life and I am looking forward to it when it is my time.
"I have a lot of things I still want to do. As far as retirement goes, I just wanted to have the ability, if I so choose, to be able to do so. But I fell that I am just getting started."
