Heidi Montag revealed she is now ready for motherhood and hopes to start a family as soon as next year. The star, who is married to Spencer Pratt, is also determined to making her future children her highest priority.

She shared with Faithwire: “I am writing a coffee table wife type of book. It’s more like a fun project, something I enjoy doing and then I’m getting ready to be a mom hopefully next year. So that is going to be my main priority and full-time job.”

But not everyone was ready for such a big step, as Heidi had to convince Spencer into it before he finally agreed.

She said: “You know, I had to pray to get my husband to even … agree to have a kid and so this whole journey over the last few years … I have had to do.

You know, it’s not so easy, not everyone can just have kids whenever they want. There is a lot of hardship and prayers and certain things you have to put into that.”

Although the star hasn’t had much luck since The Hills ended, she is grateful for the hard times because these experiences have made her stronger and more determined. She now admits to having no money, but this has subsequently allowed her to refocus on what’s important.

“Life is really short and really temporary and when everything goes, all your money, everything you’ve built your security on, it really makes you face the reality of this life.

So I’m really thankful I had such a public fall and I spent all my money and everything because it made me remember what I care about and what is important to me and to rebuild. Because of God, I was able to rebuild and refocus.”
