It looks like Mila Kunis has had babies on the brain for a while now!

E! News exclusively revealed that the actress is expecting her first child with fiancé Ashton Kutcher over the weekend, and we've found a recent interview where she opened up about starting a family with her former That 70s Show co-star.

Kunis gushed to Playboy magazine about her upbringing and how she hopes to balance her career with motherhood.

"I want to be a present mom," she revealed. "When I was growing up both my mom and dad worked full-time. I guess the only thing I can say about that is they worked full-time in one location."

She added, "I'm never in the same place for more than two months. How am I ever going to have a family like that? You have to make compromises. If that means I do one movie a year, if people still want to see me and hire me and I don't suck by that point, great. But my only source of happiness can't be dependent on something so fickle. And I find this industry to be incredibly fickle."

And it seems as though Kunis has her eyes on being behind the camera in future projects.

"I want to be a producer. That's really what I want, because I love this work in a weird, sick way. But I also want a life. I want a family," she explained.

"Do you want to have a life, or do you want to have a career? Sometimes you can find a happy medium, but in this industry it's rare."
