The `Keeping up with the Kardashians` star - who tied the knot with the basketball ace earlier this month after a whirlwind romance - has told pals she is keen to start a family as soon as possible. Close friend Lisa Gastineau told US Weekly: "She wants babies. Let`s cross the fingers. And her mom wants her to have babies quick. "She will be a great mom. She is very nurturing." Lisa also believes Kris, 26, will be a fantastic father and says the pair couldn`t be happier because the athlete is more than a match for his fiery wife. She added: "He adores Kim. I wish that every girl that I know had someone that adores her. Just the way he looks at her. He`s so cool. He stands up to her. Kim is a little dynamo. It is amazing, it is a fun, fun relationship watching them." Kim, 30 - who was married to music producer Damon Thomas for four years until 2004 - has previously revealed the couple hope to start trying for children in the near future. She said: "I`m sure at some point in the next year I`ll want to have babies, so I have to get into my best shape before that. "Maybe we`ll start trying at the end of the year. After the wedding."
