While Kate has her hands full right now with three children, a busy career and a future wedding to plan for, she hasn't completely ruled out having more children in the future.

Although she didn't have a plan - and perhaps still doesn't - at the time she confessed: "He needs a boy. He needs his own boy."

"That was like, when I was really little, I thought that. When you come from a big family… you either don't want kids or you want a lot of kids. So I always thought I'd have [more kids]."
