ET has the latest...

Less than a week after tying the knot, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are already talking kids -- sort of.

"We go back and forth," de Rossi tells People magazine about the pair having a brood of their own. "I don't know if it's our immediate future. It's something we talk about every few months."

Ellen says it's a subject they take very seriously.

"It's something we would never take lightly and just say, 'That would be fun,'" Ellen says. "It's a lot of work and we recognize that. In a way, we want to be selfish because we love our life, but we know how much that adds to it."
