The 32-year-old hip-hop star - who is believed to be dating 39-year-old British race car driver Maximillion Cooper, who founded the Gumball 3000 road rally brand - is ready to settle down and start a family.

She said: "I want marriage, I want babies, soon, but later.

"I`m seeing someone at the moment. I`m not saying [who it is], but it`s been a year. It`s not a secret. He`s not a music celebrity."

But before wedding bells are in the air, the `Let Me Blow Ya Mind` rapper - who has also appeared in `Glee` and starred in `Charlie`s Angels: Full Throttle` - is concentrating on her music and snubbing any movie roles, though there are projects she would jump at the chance to be part of.

Eve added to BANG Showbiz: "I haven`t read any scripts, I don`t want to, I want to finish this record - that`s like my top priority. I`ve read some stuff but nothing that has really grabbed me at all.

"My dream, dream, dream would to be directed by Quentin Tarantino. I want to kick somebody`s ass or shoot somebody."
