Rihanna has spoken candidly about life after her break-up with Hassan Jameel, her plans for children and where she sees herself in 10 years' time.

The singer explained that she has a new mentality this decade: “Since I turned 32, I’m realising life is really short,” she told British Vogue. “You don’t have a lot of time to tolerate shit, you know? You put so much on your plate. When you’re overwhelmed, you need to start cutting things out. And I’m overwhelmed too much. What’s happening now is that I’m going back to black and white. My grey area is shutting down.”

For now, Rihanna is focusing on music and her businesses. “I’m working like this now so that I don’t have to in the future,” she said. “I know I will want to live differently."

One possible reason why? She wants to become a mother. When asked where she pictures herself in 10 years, Rihanna responded, “Ten years? I’ll be 42! I’ll be ancient. I’ll have kids—three or four of ’em.”

When asked whether she'd still have children if she hadn't found the right partner, Rihanna didn't hesitate: “Hell, yeah. I feel like society makes me want to feel like, ‘Oh, you got it wrong…’ They diminish you as a mother if there’s not a dad in your kids’ lives. But the only thing that matters is happiness, that’s the only healthy relationship between a parent and a child. That’s the only thing that can raise a child truly, is love.”
