Vanessa Minnillo wants to have a big family with boyfriend Nick Lachey.

The TV presenter - who recently quit MTV's "Total Request Live" to pursue an acting career - is eager to settle down and have four children with Jessica Simpson's ex-husband.

Vanessa told Us Weekly magazine: "I always say I want three boys and a girl, but at the end of the day, I just want healthy kids."

The 26-year-old has just moved in with Nick, 33, and the couple were rumored to have gotten engaged on New Year's Eve. But if the former "Newlyweds" star hasn't proposed yet, friends are sure it will happen any day now.

A source said: "She's confident that he'll do it when the time is right. They want to try out the living together thing and if it goes well - which it will - he'll pop the question. I think he very much believes this is it."
