Tom Cruise says that he couldn't be happier being the father to three amazing children.

The Valkyrie star is dad to two adopted children with Nicole Kidman, Connor and Isabella, and the father of little Suri with wife Katie Holmes.

And according to Tom, having a family has always been a life long dream alongside his superstar acting career.

He tells OK! magazine, "I love it. I love being a father. I always wanted to. As a kid, I couldn't wait to grow up.

"I remember being four years old - I always wanted to work and grow up. I always wanted to be a father.

"I've enjoyed every part of it to all three of my kids. I feel lucky to have teenagers and to have a toddler, to have the journey of both happening at the same time. All my kids, I love them."

Tom recently confessed he would love to steal Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's baby-making thunder by having up to 10 children.
