Tiffani Thiessen 'ready to start family'

Former Saved By The Bell star Tiffani Thiessen has revealed that she is ready to start a family with husband Brady Smith.

The actress, who played Kelly Kapowski in the Saturday morning kids' show, told OK that the couple are hoping to become parents soon.

"We're definitely there. I mean, we've been married for four-and-a-half years," she explained.

"It's definitely in the plan. We've just got to figure out timewise, with working and all that."

The 35-year-old, who is currently starring in the USA Network series White Collar, added that she is still in contact with former Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Jason Priestley.

"Jason's really the only one I keep in touch with. I see him quite often," she said. "He actually just moved back to Canada for five months where he's doing a new show for HBO Canada. We spent a lot of time together. Him, and his wife and his two kids. Beautiful two kids."

White Collar airs on USA Network at 10/9c on Fridays.
