Nikki Reed happy without children

Nikki Reed is enjoying her freedom too much to start a family.

The Twilight star married American Idol contestant Paul McDonald in 2011.

Despite being very much in love, the 24-year-old won't be having children anytime soon.

'I would be lying if I said I didn't think about it, but we have so much fun with our freedom,' she confessed to Us Weekly magazine.

'I want to be the best parent I can possibly be, so I think I need to wait a bit longer!'

The gorgeous brunette has been busy promoting the final instalment of the vampire franchise The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn ' Part 2.

Over the course of the five films, Nikki has grown close to her co-stars, which include Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.

'Just stepping into these movies and having no idea what they were going to become,' she said of the experience.

'I loved getting to know all these wonderful people who ended up becoming family.'

Now that the popular movies are coming to an end, Nikki is turning her hand to music.

The star is making the most of her spouse's singing ability by working together with him on an album.

'We're having a really awesome time,' she revealed.

'We're singing together, writing together. I have so much respect for who Paul is as an artist, and conversely, he does for me.'
