Actress Maxene Magalona has finally shared her thoughts about having children, saying that she would like to have one when the right time comes.

“I don’t have kids but I would like to have just one when God feels it’s time,” Maxene, 36, told a fan when asked to share her thoughts about motherhood, and how she plans to raise her children.

“I actually [didn’t] want a kid before. But as I matured, I really had to sit with myself and ask my soul if I truly wanted a child. Because I certainly don’t want to bring another soul into this world unconsciously,” she added.

Maxene, who separated from her husband Rob Mananquil, said she wants to move at her own pace.

“I don’t want to have kids just because everyone else is doing it,” she said. "When I meditated on it, I realized that I would like a child for the sole purpose of passing on what I learned in my journey and also make the child feel the kid of love and energy that I offer. So that they can also pass it on to the future generations.”

While she doesn’t have any kids yet, Maxene said she believes that there is no one formula for parenting.

“We can read all the books we want and study how to raise kids but if we don’t do the inner work to heal, we will definitely have a hard time raising them,” she said.

“What I would do is heal and work on my energy because kids don’t follow what we say — they copy the way we behave. They absorb our energy. So the best way for me to be a parent is to be super conscious so that I can work on myself everyday and be present and emotionally connected to my child,” she added.

Previously, the actress said she is “100% okay” with being single and not having children.

“I want to put it out there that I am 100% okay with my current life situation,” she said.
