Alexandra Burke wants two more children
The 36-year-old star already has two young children - whose names have not been made public - with her footballer fiancé Darren Randolph, and although she is not ready to add to her brood right now, she would love to have more babies in the future.
Alexandra - who has been engaged to the sportsman since September 2024 - told The Mirror: "I'm going to do [the] London [Marathon] next year and, by the grace of God, New York. And then think about more children. I'm desperate for more – we'd love four – but we're good with whatever the universe gives us because we're very lucky to even have two.
'We'd love to try, but just not right now… we're fitness freaks at the minute. I'm loving work and enjoying just being a mum and an actress.'
The former X Factor star's Soul II Soul singer mother, Melissa Bell, died from kidney failure, at the age of 53, in 2017.
And, Alexandra says the most important thing is being "healthy and strong for my kids".
She said: 'I've always been in the fitness mindset. As long as I can be healthy and strong for my kids, nothing else matters. I feel your health is your wealth and you've just got to take care of stuff as much as you can. We live in a world where you hear about so much negativity. If there's one thing we all can control, it's what we put in our bodies, how much we move our bodies, create great endorphins and just try and find happiness in every thing that we try and do.'
As well as marathons, Alexandra is training to do the popular Hyrox endurance test - which is 50 per cent running - with her partner.
She said: 'Darren's an athlete… know what I mean? I've got to keep up with him. He pushes me and goes, 'Alex, come on… you're the one that's always optimistic, positive. You're having a bit of a low day today, but we'll just go out for a run together'.'
On the topic of weight-loss injections, she said: 'It's your body, your choice. But my choice is to make sure my a*** is in that gym and I'm running.'

Charli XCX quietly marries musical star in London
Charli XCX has married the drummer of The 1975 in London in front of a small group of family and friends with sources saying it was a 'secluded, no expense spared' celebration. The 32-year-old Brit tied the knot with George Daniel at the weekend with a video of the couple on their special day going viral. The Apple singer wowed in a low-cut white mini-dress, wore her hair down with a lengthy veil and even donned her trademark Brat sunglasses at the intimate ceremony at the Hackney Town Hall. According to The Mirror, there were only 20 friends and family in attendance, including Daniel's bandmates Ross MacDonald and Adam Hann. Frontman Matty Healy wasn't said to be there.

Credit: AKMG / BACKGRID As for the 35-year-old sticksman's attire, the groom opted for a casual black suit with an off-grey shirt underneath, plus a white flower in his jacket to match his wife's bouquet. There had been reports that the pair were planning a lavish Sicily wedding later this year. An insider told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: 'Charli and George fell in love with Sicily and knew they wanted to get married there. 'It's incredibly secluded and romantic. There will be no expense spared. It's costing tens of thousands of pounds and visually it will be mesmerising. 'Charli and George said they wanted a massive party and there are no restrictions on when the bar has to close, so it can go on all night.' The source added: 'They have both had such a busy summer with massive shows, but from mid-August they're able to slow down and focus on their big day. 'It's going to be pretty star-studded too, with plenty of their celeb mates making the journey over to Sicily to watch them say 'I do'. Charli and George are so excited to become man and wife.' However, Charli revealed earlier this year that she was feeling relaxed about her wedding plans and that she and Daniel 'just want to have a party'. The 360 singer said: 'We're both very chill and we kind of just want to have a party. 'Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever. 'We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends.' The pair got engaged in November 2023 after one year of dating.
