The stage star told Hello! that the couple, who have been dating since last November, have not been together long enough to talk about marriage and children.
She said: "To my mind, seven months is still early doors in a relationship and those aren't things I'd discuss until we made a commitment to move in together.
"I believe in marriage and would like to get wed and have children one day but, to be honest, I'm so busy I haven't even thought about it."
The 34-year-old insisted that she has no problem with the seven-year age gap between her and Mead, saying: "It's the biggest age gap between me and anyone I've dated, but Lee has a maturity that I've rarely met, even in older men.
"Trust me, I've dated some and many have been very childish in comparison with Lee."
