Cheryl Fernandez-Versini isn't in a rush to have children.

The former Girls Aloud singer married Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini in a secret ceremony in July and, although she wants to start a family at some point, she's pleased with how their romance is progressing.

Speaking in the Sunday People newspaper, she said about having kids with Jean-Bernard: ''I haven't set a plan and I will let ­nature take its course.

''Right now I am very happy with the way things are.''

Meanwhile, the 31-year-old beauty suffered a nervous breakdown in 2010 following her divorce from Ashley Cole, almost dying after catching malaria and getting sacked from the 'X Factor' US, but she insists she's in a much better place now and has learnt from the past.

She explained: ''It [the nervous breakdown] will never happen again. I'm more conscious of the pressures now. I feel like a woman, I've grown up.''

She added: ''I was burnt out and I wasn't taking notice. I should have listened to the signals just to slow down.

''But I got sick [with malaria] and instead of taking the time off, I was like 'No, No,' I am going back to work.

''Within six to eight weeks, I was back on the 'X Factor' and I didn't even have the right blood back.''

Cheryl is now a judge alongside Simon Cowell, Mel B and Louis Walsh on this year's 'X Factor' in the UK following a four-year break from the show.
