Alexandra Burke has revealed she is ‘desperate’ to have a third child with her footballer boyfriend Darren Randolph.
The singer, 35, welcomed her first child in June 2022 and her second in September 2023 and has chosen to keep their names private.
Appearing on Tuesday’s episode of Loose Women, Alexandra also revealed why she returned to work so soon after having both her children.
She said: ‘I returned to work two months after having both babies. I love to work. I want to make them proud. My mum did that with us.
‘I’m so desperate for another baby. I would take more time off if I had a third. I don’t regret anything but after that first few months, they’re basically off the college. So I get why people want more time.’

The former X Factor star also discussed her partner Darren Randolph who she has been dating since May 2021.
She said: ‘He is such a great human, father and hopeful hubby to be. Hint hint darling. He’s so good with the kids and we always say this is temporary, it isn’t forever.
‘I once cried to him on the phone and he got in the car and came home and cooked me dinner before going back to work.’
It comes after the star discussed her second pregnancy on Lorraine in June as she spoke about her journey of self-love and acceptance.
Alexandra spoke of the importance to ‘accept and love your body’, which she has learned through her pregnancy.
She said: ‘What a woman’s body can go through when you are blessed with carrying a baby is incredible.’
‘Working out for me is everything, so when I was pregnant I couldn’t control it. You have to accept your body and love your body and who you are.’
She told presenter Ranvir Singh that she feels that ‘things are in a really beautiful place’, following her latest achievements and second pregnancy.

Alexandra also told the MailOnline recently she only sees partner Darren twice a week after the goalkeeper joined Bournemouth in January from Premier League rivals West Ham United.
The West End star said that while its ‘tricky’ with Darren living and working away, she’s learned to ‘adapt’ and becoming a mum for the first-time last year has shown her just how ‘amazing’ women are.
She said: ‘Whether it’s about children or your life in general, women just adapt. No shade to men, I think men are great… but women, oh my God we make milk for crying out loud!’
She explained: ‘My partner just moved away to Bournemouth bless him, so he isn’t really here. It makes things really tricky for me, but we make it work.
‘He comes home as and when he can which is roughly maybe twice a week at the most. I don’t like him driving too much, I sound like a bit of a mum, but I don’t like him driving when he’s training, and he’s exhausted.
‘It isn’t terrible because it’s only two hours away and I love Bournemouth and where he’s staying. It would be worse if he was five away hours.

‘We make it work and it’s not forever and all I care about is supporting his career and standing by him when he makes these decisions.’
Alexandra, who’s from Islington, found fame in 2008 when she won the X Factor at the age of 19 and performed a duet with superstar Beyoncé during the final.
After 15 years of unstoppable hard graft, the singer has gone onto have chart topping songs with Bad Boys, Start Without You, and Broken Heels, as well as finishing runner-up on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017.
She has since starred in a number of West End shows including Chicago, The Bodyguard, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which she performed in while pregnant and returned to shortly after giving birth.
