Singer Kylie Minogue, 46, would still love to have a baby but she knows that being an "older woman", it may not be a "realistic" dream.

Minogue, who battled breast cancer in 2005, still hasn't ruled out having a family of her own but is "realistic" about the fact that may not be possible because of her age, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I'm still hopeful to have a family. But being an older woman I'm realistic, you have to think about it, you can't say you will or you won't because ultimately it isn't up to you," she said.

She has vowed to devote her attention to her three nephews if she isn't able to have a baby of her own.

"If I don't have children I will at least be able to invest that love in my nephews," she said.
