Ryan Reynolds has revealed that he wants to have children with fiancée Scarlett Johansson.

The couple announced their engagement earlier this week after dating for more than a year.

The Van Wilder star is quoted as saying: "I do want a child at some point. I feel like I need to fulfil the genetic paradigm, the destiny of it all."

He was previously engaged to singer Alanis Morissette until their split last February.
