Carrie Underwood isn’t feeling pressured by Hollywood. The newlywed country singer says she has no immediate plans to start a family with husband Mike Fisher, reports UsMagazine.com. “We’re good [without kids]. I’m super busy and he is super busy. We are still newlyweds,” said Underwood backstage at American Idol on Thursday. “I honestly think that if we brought a kid into it would mess things up right now! We’re good right now!”

Cupid’s Advice:
Choosing to start a family is a difficult decision to make, especially when you’re happy with the status quo. Here are a few suggestions as to when to start a family:
1. You want a family:Â If you find yourself eyeing babies you see at a local park or going gaga over your neighbor’s daughter, it might be time for you to start thinking about a family of your own.
2. Financially secure: Even if you and your partner feel emotionally ready for a child, you still need to be sure that you’re completely prepared. Make sure that you have enough money set aside for child care and, eventually, college tuition.
3. Don’t feel pressure: Don’t feel pressured to start a family by your friends or by a supposed biological clock. With modern medicine and in vitro fertilization, it’s possible to have children much later in life. It’s okay to wait.
