"I feel like a woman," Beyonce told MTV. "I feel like I'm very aware of who I am. I feel great and I feel like 30 is the ideal age (to start a family), because you're mature enough to know who you are and to have your boundaries and your standards, and not be afraid, too polite ‑ but you're young enough to be a young woman."
The star also said, "I'm so looking forward to it."
Beyonce and husband Jay-Z began dating in 2002 and were married in April 2008. For years, her many fans and the media have speculated about whether and when they might have a baby. Beyonce and Jay-Z are expecting their first child together and Bey is rumored to be 5 months pregnant.
