The former Spice Girls singer – who has two-year-old son Beau with her partner Jade Jones – is hopeful they will have another child in the near future and believes they are 'getting to the right time' to start trying again.

Discussing whether or not she planned to extend her brood, Emma said: 'Yes, fingers crossed. I'd love to have more children. We're getting to the right time as Beau is starting nursery.'

Emma, 34, adores motherhood but admits caring for her son has left her with much less time to focus on her career.

She explained: 'I just think my priorities have changed. Everything is about Beau now. He's two years old, so he's getting a bit cheeky and I love that.'

While her work and family life can be hectic, Emma – who has dated the singer-turned-chef for over a decade – revealed the couple still go on dates to keep the romance in their relationship alive.

She explained to Stylist magazine: 'Jade and I have been together for almost 12 years and we get on so well. I think growing up together has made us closer. Being very honest and taking time out with each other is important – we still like to go on dates together. We have a great relationship and I think it just comes down to respecting each other and having fun really. He's such a gentleman and the best dad. I'm very lucky.'
