**Jonathan Bailey**, star of hit musical *Wicked*, has opened up on his desire to become a father, revealing he would consider co-parenting with a woman despite being openly gay.

During an interview with *British Vogue*, the 36-year-old English actor shared his thoughts on starting a family.

“I might co-parent with a woman, but I’m thinking it will be with a man,” he said.

While Bailey expressed his hopes to be a parent one day, he emphasised that he’s in no rush, citing his demanding work schedule.

“It’s such a privilege for a man,” he admitted. “But I can’t bring children into my lifestyle now … I want to make sure I’m going to be present.”

In preparation for his future as a father, Bailey has already begun reading books on adoption.

The actor, who revealed in December 2023 that he is in a relationship with a “lovely” man, has chosen to keep his partner’s identity private.

“It’s not secret, but it’s private,” he told *The Standard* at the time.

“Having a private life is, for me, completely critical. I don’t know if I would be able to be as confident to speak out on other things if I felt that my whole life was up for grabs.”
