Katy Perry's mother wants grandchildren

Katy Perry's mother "can't wait" for her daughter to have children.

Mary Hudson is pleased that her son-in-law Russell Brand loves kids as she is hopeful the couple - who married last October after a year-long romance - will start a family soon.

She said: "He loves kids. I just can't wait for them to have babies. Grandma, here we come!"

Mary thinks Katy and Russell make a great couple, though she admits she is unsure how they cope with such hectic work schedules.

She told People: "I don't know whether it's private jets or what, but they make it work."

Katy, 26, recently admitted she and Russell, 35, want to have a baby and insisted her kids will always take priority over her career.

She said: "I want to have kids! I'm totally fine with saying that. I think some people are worried it's going to ruin their career, but I want to live a full life."

The 'Firework' hitmaker also claims she knew the British comic was the right man for her the first time she met him because they had so much fun together.

She said: "Everything clicked really fast. We kind of instantly got past all the surfacey stuff. And ever since then, there hasn't been a dull moment."
