Bajan beauty Rihanna has admitted that having a family is something that she wants for herself in the future.

During a new interview with Ellen DeGeneres, the 'We Found Love' sensation was asked if she would like to have children one day and she said: "Yes, eventually. I mean, absolutely."

She added that although she could probably be a strong single parent if that was her situation at the time, she would much prefer to have a traditional "full" family:

"I mean, I would prefer to have a full family. I'm pretty sure I could handle it if I had to on my own, but that's not what I'm striving for."

Earlier this week, Rihanna announced a series of UK dates in support of her forthcoming new album 'Unapologetic'. Her UK tour will begin on June 10 in Cardiff.
