Queen (mother) of pop

Madonna

and her Brazilian boy toy lover

are planning to try for a baby together, according to reports.

Not content with her current brood, Madge, 51, is believed to have already consulted doctors about the possibility of having a child with model Luz, her man of nearly two years.

Madge, who

split with ex Guy Ritchie

in 2008, already has a daughter,

Lourdes

, 14 and son,

and

Luz, 22 - who is less than half Madge's age - is apparently ecstatic at the idea of fathering the Material Girl's child.

Greatest achievement

A 'friend' *cough*, who refers to the singer by her nickname

Em

(yep, obviously a truth-telling super snitch who gives this fable a distinct air of authenticity), blabbed to British tabloid

The Sun

.

"Em says motherhood is her greatest achievement and the most fulfilling thing in her life."

But Madge is aware that conceiving in her fifties might pose a challenge.

"She knows that, at 51, it's going to be harder to conceive naturally. But she is Olympic-athlete fit and is ready for the challenge."

Father figure

Luz, who first clapped eyes on the cougar during a

W magazine photo-shoot

in Brazil, has said becoming a father would be "his greatest adventure".

"Jesus is very religious and deeply in love with her," the pal said.

"He adores her kids but has always wanted a child of his own.

"He told Em fatherhood would be his greatest adventure, and that he wanted to go on this journey with her."

Madge agrees. She told her pal Luz would make a "fantastic dad" and said: "I have endless love in my heart for another child."

Oh the irony. *Insert obvious gag* Isn't she already practically dating one?

Good luck to 'em.

Luz, you'll make a great live-in nanny. But we wouldn't get too comfy with the whole full-time daddy thing. Case in point:

Carlos Leon

- Madge's former fling and father to daughter Lourdes.

Legend has it her Madgesty selected Leon out of a shortlist - among which was basketball player

Dennis Rodman

- of suitable studs who could sire her first born. Rodman was apparently her first choice, but that plan was scuppered when she fell pregnant with Leon's child.

Years later her estranged brother

revealed how she was initially not sure Leon fulfilled the "intelligence requirement" to father her child. Charming.

Don't say we didn't warn you, Luz...

The problem is the Russian singer's just too busy to skip down the aisle, because she's got her hands full with their baby daughter,

Lucia

, who was born in October.

Gibson told

Access Hollywood

, "(Lucia's) beautiful, like an angel. She luckily looks more like her mother than me and is an angel and the mother; turns out she's a wonderful mother."

He adds that she's focusing on motherhood, rather than blissful matrimony, for the time being.

"She'd make anyone a wonderful wife, but for the moment, she's a mother."
