In an interview with the Italian publication F Magazine, de Armas revealed that she wants to have kids soon. "Yes, I'd like to have children and a family, soon if possible. But it's not just up to me," she said, according to a translation from The Daily Mail. 

"As we know, love is unpredictable; you never know when true love will arrive. Relationships can't be controlled: life isn't a movie," she said.
