Fresh off a wedding and a new album, Demi Lovato is taking stock of what comes next, and family is high on her radar.

In her interview with Apple Music on Friday, October 31, the pop star — who recently released her new album, It's Not That Deep — dished on her relationship with singer Jutes, whom she married last May.

"I just got married. I'm thinking about kids, you know. I think about, well, do I want to keep making music and do I want to keep touring, or do I feel like I'm not getting any younger? I think about it all the time. I'm such a fluid person that I'm just going to take it as it comes."

Demi Lovato also reflected on the pressure about pregnancy, saying:

"Unfortunately, for people who are able to get pregnant, there's a clock that ticks, and I think about that a lot. But then one could argue there's adoption and there's other alternative options for that."

Demi Lovato opens up about wanting kids: "Life doesn't go according to any plan"

When host Zane Lowe asked if she wanted to have kids, the Cool for the Summer hitmaker said:

"I used to. I think if anything, I want to adopt, more than anything. I don't know, I was engaged to a man last year. I totally thought that I'd be married, maybe pregnant, by now. And that's not the case ... I know that my life is not going according to my plan."

Demi Lovato and Jutes tied the knot in May in a romantic ceremony in California following a rehearsal dinner for their wedding eve. But for the Camp Rock star, life rarely sticks to the script.

"Life doesn't go according to any plan. So, I could sit here and say, 'Yes, I would love to have children.' But I don't know, because that might change next week. I think in this moment, I want to adopt, for sure."

Nevertheless, Demi Lovato confessed she has been contemplating it, given that she has been in the entertainment industry for a long time.

"It's okay, when are you going to make that decision to actually step aside? When am I going to realize I put enough energy into this? And I think music will always be here for me as a creative outlet. Like you said, I don't think I ever want to be like write off music forever. I don't think that's something that I would. I think even if I was a mom, I'd still want to make music."
