Dakota Johnson told Vogue that she is hopeful about becoming a mother, explaining that she “really wants” a child and feels ready for that next step in her life.

The 36‑year‑old actress admitted she never imagined thinking about motherhood at this point, but she now believes the universe has a plan for her and is waiting for the right moment.

She added that she can sense a soul eager to join the world and hopes she will be the conduit that brings that new life into existence.

Watching close friends and co‑workers welcome babies has been bittersweet, she said, because it highlights how her own path is different from what she expected.

Despite the emotional tug, she emphasized she remains optimistic, noting, “It’s hard to be around best friends or even on set when everyone else is having children, but I’m okay — I’m full of hope.”

When pressed about circulating rumors linking her to musicians such as Machine Gun Kelly, she declined to comment, keeping her personal relationships private.

The actress first rose to global fame as Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades of Grey and has since built a varied résumé that includes dramatic roles and thriller projects, keeping public interest in her personal life alive.

Fans can expect her to stay focused on her career while she patiently waits for the next chapter of family life.
