Ryan Reynolds: 'Having Kids With Scarlett Is My Destiny'

Scarlett Johnasson’s engagement to Ryan Reynolds could be followed by another big announcement, because the actor is desperate for kids.

The couple made the big announcement on Monday a year after they hooked up, following 31-year-old Reynolds' split from singer Alanis Morissette.

And he hints he will be encouraging his 23-year-old fiancee down the aisle and into the maternity ward in a hurry.

Reynolds says, "I do want a child at some point.

"I feel like I need to fulfil the genetic paradigm, the destiny of it all."
