US Chat Show host and comedienne, Ellen DeGeneres, has admitted that since getting married to Portia di Rossi this year childrens clothing ads make her broody.

She joked with AOL TV: “I see those adverts that have the babies in them for GAP and maybe it’s cute that they have a little GAP knit sweater on their head, a little GAP outfit. But they advertise kids very well, those GAP ads. I don’t even look at the clothes – I just go, ‘That’s a cute baby, I’ll take that one.’ ”

Ellen added that since they are a same sex couple, she and Portia have to consider very seriously the decision to have a child.

She said: “I think that’s one of the things about not being able to just accidentally get pregnant and have a child. You really, really have to want one – whether it’s trying to figure out how you get pregnant or if you adopt.”

Ellen added: “I think that’s even more of a reason that people that aren’t able to have kids should be allowed to adopt – because you have to really want a kid, and that’s a big responsibility. So we are not taking it lightly. We would really think about it before we did it.”
