She might be turning 29 on Sept.4, but one thing is certain, Beyonce Knowles is still not ready to take a break and start a family with husband, Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter anytime soon.
The 16-time Grammy Award-winner tells Britain's You magazine, "My ambition is to continue to learn about the world and eventually have a family."
ready."
In the meantime, she's just trying to balance her hectic superstar lifestyle.
"Probably the biggest challenge in my life is time – making sure I have time to be a wife, to be a singer, to be a songwriter, to be an actor and still have time for my clothing line and now for my perfume [Heat]," the 'Dreamgirls' star added.
And, the 'Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)' singer says balancing it all is no easy task.
"I love so many different things, and to have the discipline to turn certain things away and focus on one thing at a time so that I can give it 100 percent is really hard," Knowles continued.
Though she hasn't disclosed when her forthcoming fourth studio album will be released, Knowles is currently in the studio recording new material and appears on Kanye West's recently leaked single 'See Me Now' with Charlie Wilson.

Good for her. There's more to life than popping out babies.

I am not one for telling people how to conduct their business, but she has not been married long enough to bring children onto the scene yet. There should be no rush. Sometimes its best to see if the marriage has a chance of working out before bringing babies into the picture.

I'm proud of her choices. She knows whats best for her. People are SO BRAINWASHED into thinking that you have to get married at a certain age and have children at a certain age. They think something is wrong with you if you don't even want children. If she doesn't want them, she doesn't have to have them. Family and friends are always pushing you to get married or always asking when you are ready to have children. They never consider that their lifestyles may not be the same lifestyle you want. I'm in my 20's and I have told my family that if I DECIDE TO HAVE CHILDREN (which I havent decided yet), IT WILL NOT BE BEFORE I'M 30. If I don't have them, I don't have them. People think something is wrong with me when I say this. Of course, I received opposition such as "You dont need to wait that long." or "You will change your mind". Don't get me wrong, I LOVE children and work with children of all ages, but I also love sending them home with their parents at the end of the day. I have an aunt and uncle who have been happily married for 10+ years and neither one of them have ever wanted children. They are happy and don't regret their decision. I do want to get married regardless. In Beyonce's case, JAY-Z already has a child from a previous relationship so its not like he will be missing out on fatherhood.

That's your opinion on how you feel about kids and you have every right to your opinion to say how you feel. I don't disrespect your comment. Couples that marry and want to have children or not is their choice. However, those couples that want to have children, they want children so that they can be a part of them, give them love, and carry their name down from generations to generations. That's beautiful. I'm sure a lot of couples have accomplished everything in life and need something more to make their marriage complete? That's a good thing. You are still young and you have plenty time to decide if having children or getting married is right for you. A woman does have some pregnancy risk after 35 years of age in having children if she wants any? The baby might develop or have health problems and issues. Children are a blessing!

She's probably afraid she'd have a daughter that looks like Jay-Z.
