Just one year after tying the knot with Dennis, Leona revealed that she wanted children and said she would like to adopt because of her mother’s experience growing up in a children’s home.
She told Stella magazine: ‘I do want children, but Dennis and I have also talked about adopting.
‘My mum grew up in a children’s home. No one adopted her as a child, and I would very much like to adopt.
‘But I’m still figuring things out. If it was up to my husband, we would have had kids yesterday.’
In 2013, Leona said that she had always wanted to get married in her 20s but then realised that she was ‘not ready’ when she reached her late 20s.
In December, Leona revealed she still stays in contact with her X Factor mentor Simon Cowell on The Jonathan Ross Show.

The singer spoke about leaving Simon’s record label, Syco, in 2014, saying: ‘It was [an amicable split] – we’re still good, we keep in contact, he checks in on me, I check in on him.’
She continued: ‘Throughout the show, he was definitely a real mentor and really involved in helping me with song choices, arrangements. He’s been a big supporter.’
‘[The X Factor was] such a huge platform… It was at the time when YouTube was starting to bubble up… the videos would go viral, it was crazy.’
Following her X Factor victory, Leona was immediately signed to Syco and went on to sell more than 20 million records with the company.
However, in the Better in Time hitmaker walked away from Cowell’s label in favour of Island Records.
The long-running talent show was axed for good in July after 17 years, with Simon saying he didn’t want it to ‘become a bit of a joke.’
