    After showing off trim figure in a Givenchy Haute Couture dress at Met Ball, Beyonce revealed she 'definitely' would like more kids

    Motherhood certainly suits Beyonce. She may only have given birth to her first child Blue Ivy in January, but the singer has revealed that she is definitely planning on having more babies.

    'I definitely want to have more. I don't know how many. God knows, I don't know yet,' she told Entertainment tonight as she hit the red carpet at the Met Ball in New York.

    She added: 'I've been rehearsing, I have a show coming up and it's my first show in a year. I have such a full life. I feel like now I know the reason that I was born.'

    She explained: 'I lost most of my weight from breast-feeding and I encourage women to do it; it's just so good for the baby and good for yourself.

    'I counted calories. I worked out maybe three to four times a week. I did a lot walking in the beginning and now I'm running. But I had to work my way up. I couldn't just go right from being pregnant to running.'
