SAOIRSE Ronan has revealed she is "at the stage" to start a family and confessed "I've always wanted it".

The Outrun actress recently tied the knot to her long-term partner Jack Lowden in a top secret ceremony.

It is reported that guests at the event were sworn to secrecy according to the Sunday Independent.

Jack and Saoirse first met back in 2017 on the set of Mary Queen of Scots.

The pair played the part of husband and wife in the flick where Saoirse played Mary Stuart and Jack took the role of Lord Darnley.

And although the pair are renowned for keeping their private lives out of the public eye.

In a recent interview with Vogue, Saoirse discussed her hopes to start a family soon.

The 30-year-old said: "I became successful when I was quite young. So it meant that, actually, by the time I found my partner, I’m now at the stage where if it happened, I would like to have a kid.

"I feel fortunate enough that if I step out of this for a minute, I’m hopefully not giving it up forever. But, yeah, I’ve always wanted that."

The Irish star also discussed how she switches off after filming and promoting her films.

The Carlow native explained: "We have a gorgeous garden where we live up in Scotland.

"I was gardening the other day and it was the happiest I’ve been in weeks because I wasn’t thinking about how I felt or what that meant."

The newly wed also revealed that her beloved dog, Stella has given her a new lease of life when it comes to taking down time.

She added: "There was something in me that was like, 'I need to put my needs to one side because Stella needs a walk', that was so good for me."

The academy-award nominee recently lifted the lid on what life was like being a child star.

Saoirse insisted she hated being dragged off film sets as a child for schooling - insisting it was “hell on earth”.

The Hollywood superstar - who joined Graham Norton on the couch for tonight's episode - said she acted as an ally to an up and coming child star she mentored on the set of her new movie Blitz.

When asked about working with Elliott Heffernan, she said: “I had an affinity with him because I started acting at the same age and I was his ally in a way.

“I don’t think actors who start out as adults know what is expected of a kid.

“They have to do three hours of tutoring a day and they are dragged away from the amazing time they are having on set to do schooling, which is awful.

“I personally found it to be hell on earth, so I wanted him to feel he had another kid on set.”
