Holly Madison may be one busy gal, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't like to settle down with a guy and start a family.

At least that's what her friends are telling us…

Madison's assistant Angel Porrino says Ms. Madison's maternal side kicks in when she's with Porrino's baby son Roman. "She definitely wants to get married and have babies in the near future," Porrino said. "I know she really really wants it. She looks at Roman and bonds with him and I know she'd be a great mom and a great wife. She's ready to settle down."

But Madison isn't about to settle for just any dude. "She's super busy and she can't have somebody up her ass 24/7," said pal Laura Croft. "If she dates somebody, they've got to be successful and have their own life."

Like Benji Madden?

"Do they like each other? Absolutely!" said Josh Strickland, who costars with Madison in the Sin City burlesque show Peepshow. "They are so cute and cool together and he couldn't be cooler and a sweeter guy. But they don't live in the same city and he was doing his album and now he's on tour so it does complicate things. I guess the attitude is we'll see what happens."

Will we see Madison's dating life played out on her new E! reality series, Holly's World, premiering June 13?

"Yes," said Porrino, teasing that "there may be one or two or seven" different guys appearing on the show.

"She just turned 30 and I think that clock is ticking for her," Strickland said. "She definitely wants to have kids and settle down and find that right person."
