(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Kirsten Dunst is apparently anxious to become a mother.

The 30-year-old actress has been dating boyfriend Garrett Hedlund for a while and is said to be adamant the time is right for her to have a baby.

Star magazine reports that the star has put parenthood at the top of her agenda.

"Having a baby is more important than her relationship or even her career at the moment," a source told the publication. "She's on a mission."

But Kirsten is said to be unconcerned about tradition and is happy to have a child out of wedlock.

"Kirsten's so set on getting pregnant that she says she's going ahead, regardless," the source added.

The friend said that while Kirsten would love to marry Garrett she is not going to slow down her plans for motherhood in order to wait for a wedding ring. (C) Cover Media
