Dancing with the Stars champion, Kaitlyn Bristowe opened up about her future family plans with Jason Tartick on the her and Artem Chigvintsev‘s mirrorball win.

“What’s next? Oh, gosh, I don’t know,” the former Bachelorette, 35, told Us Weekly and other reporters on Monday, November 23, after winning the ABC show. “I joked that I was like, ‘I will want to have babies. If I accomplish [this], then I’m ready for the next step.’ And Artem gave me the baby fever, and I’m not against it!”

When the DWTS pro, 38, told Bristowe that fatherhood was “the best thing that’s ever happened” to him after his and Nikki Bella‘s son Matteo’s arrival, the Bachelor alum replied, “I can’t wait!”
