I’m La La to start a family

OSCAR WINNER EMMA STONE’S BIGGEST DREAM

- From Halina Watts SHOWBIZ EDITOR in Hollywood

LA La Land star Emma Stone wants to trump her Best Actress triumph at the Oscars – by starting a family.

Emma, 28, is single after splitting with actor Andrew Garfield but longs to be a mum.

Asked what she would like to do that she hasn’t already done, she said: “Have a family. It makes me honestly flush because it feels like such a vulnerable thing to say.

“It’s such a crazy, incredible thing. I mean how wild to have children and a family.”

US star Emma split with Spider Man actor Andrew, 33, in 2015 but they remain close friends. They fell in love on the set of The Amazing Spider Man in 2010, when they played Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy.

Adoring

Andrew could be seen gazing adoringly at his ex as she made her Oscars acceptance speech last Sunday.

He missed out on the Best Actor award for Hacksaw Ridge but looked overwhelme­d with emotion when she was named as Best Actress for her role as Mia in the musical.
