Kaley Cuoco, who got engaged to athlete Ryan Sweeting this summer, is reportedly keen to start a family as soon as possible.

The star was seen cooing over a baby at an event for children's charity Shane's Inspiration in Los here last month and the child has apparently inspired her to start a family, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

A source told the National Enquirer magazine: "Kaley couldn't keep her hands off that little baby. She said, 'Oh I want one of these - and I want it right now!

"Kaley doesn't care if she gets pregnant before she and Ryan walk down the aisle. In fact, she'd be thrilled if she did. That's because they don't plan on tying the knot for at least a year."
