When the couple got married in July, Olly shared his hopes of becoming a father one day.
The X Factor star told Hello! Magazine: ‘We’re ready to have our own little Murs running around.
‘It’s so special that we’ll be able to take our kids to Osea Island one day and say, “This is where we got married”‘.
In a different interview with OK! Magazine, he said: ‘I’m not sure I’m going to go for six kids, but of course I’d love to have children.’
The couple tied the knot in a three-day festival-themed wedding 13 months after former The X Factor star proposed.
Olly was unable to hold back his tears as he watched Amelia arrive in her custom-made wedding gown, insisting it was a moment he’ll never forget.
He said: ‘I was blown away by how amazing it was. It was quite magical – the perfect celebration of our love.’
‘I was on the brink of crying at any moment. When my nephews walked down the aisle, I was gone, then when Amelia came in – oh my God! My mum said she hasn’t seen me cry like that since I was four years old!’
Amelia enlisted the help of -based bridal house Pallas Couture for a number of months to perfect her wedding dress.
The garment was decorated with beaded floral embroidery, and featured detached sleeves and a long sweeping train with a floor-length veil.
The wedding, which was nicknamed Murs Fest, saw a number of big musical names perform, including Olly himself and fellow singer Craig David.
A total of 71 people joined the couple on the Friday night for a BBQ before they exchanged vows the following afternoon.
