Jennifer Lopez believes she will have a baby when God wants her to have one. The singer-and-actress admits she and husband Marc Anthony are desperate for children but doesn't think they have any influence over when it will happen.

Jennifer - who was raised a Catholic - told Grazia magazine: "I love kids. I can't wait to have a baby, believe me. I'm ready and so is Marc. We're waiting for it to happen, but I guess it'll happen when God wants it."

Although she doesn't have children of her own, the 38-year-old star is enjoying being a stepmother to Marc's three children from two previous relationships - Ariana, 14, Cristian, six and four-year-old Ryan.

She revealed: "It's a blessing having them as part of my family. I call them my three little angels."

Jennifer has also credited Marc for making her a more rounded and mature individual.

The 'I'm Real' singer - who has been married twice before - said: "These past years I've gained maturity and stability, which have bought new perspectives into my life. My priorities have taken a different lead - I mean, Marc is the most important thing in my life. He's my partner, he's the love of my life. He makes me a better person and I think I do the same for him. He gives me a balance which is hard to describe."
