Amy Winehouse wants a baby. The Rehab singer has reportedly been open about her plans to start a family with Blake Fielder-Civil – her ex-husband who she recently reconciled with – though her father Mitch Winehouse believes it is unlikely she will start a family in the near future.

Mitch told Pulse magazine: "She's become so broody. She loves kids - especially all our little cousins. She's been talking about having a baby and is now at the age where she wants to have a baby. But I can't see her settling down with 15 children just yet."

Amy, 26, has also been speaking about her love for Blake – who she has nicknamed 'Sailor' – admitting she finds it tough being apart from him at present.

Attacking critics of her reconciled relationship, she tweeted: "i love my husband Blake an it aint wrong! marry for life. miss kissing ya s-a-i-l-o-r (sic)"

Amy recently bought a house in Camden, north London to share with Blake and Mitch believes people would be surprised if they knew how down to earth and home loving his daughter is.

He said: "Amy's Jewish background is full of hidden stories. No one knows that she speaks Yiddish. She has a very good grasp of the language. She also loves to make chicken soup as it helps to relax her. She loves Jewish food."
