22-year-old Canadian sensation Justin Bieber has revealed that ideally he wants a family before he celebrates his thirtieth birthday. 

Speaking to Glamour magazine, for its April issue, the heartthrob was asked if he would like to have children and confessed that it's definitely something he wants to do within the next eight years: "Yes! I'd love to be settled down by the age of 30."

He also admitted that if there was something about himself he could improve on, it would be the ability to be "more patient." Referring to what he looks for in a significant other, Bieber added: "A genuine heart and great sense of humour."

Earlier this month, video streaming site VEVO confirmed that Bieber was February's most-watched artist on its platform after accumulating a staggering 34,574,943 views.
