Ryan Reynolds Wants Kids With Scarlett Johansson 5/7/08

Scarlett Johansson's engagement to Ryan Reynolds could be followed by another big announcement, because the actor is desperate for kids.

The couple made the big announcement on Monday (5May08) a year after they hooked up, following 31-year-old Reynolds' split from singer Alanis Morissette. And he hints he will be encouraging his 23-year-old fiancé down the aisle and into the maternity ward in a hurry.

Reynolds says, "I do want a child at some point. "I feel like I need to fulfill the genetic paradigm, the destiny of it all."
