"I want to enjoy Mia first, so not for a few years at least," Gemma told Hello!. "I need to wait until she's at school at least, then I can sleep!"
She added that she would like Mia to have a "bond" with a sibling, adding: "If all goes to plan and we can have another baby, I'd love to have a sibling for her.
"I grew up with a sister, Gorka grew up with a brother, so I think it's nice to have someone to lean on and to share experiences with, to make memories with.
"Your siblings, they say they're the best link to your past and the best link to your future, because it's your buddy, so I'd love her to have that same bond with someone."
Reflecting on motherhood, the star revealed: "I'd say the best moments have been just how she's changing every single day, every day she does something new.
"It's just lovely to see how far she's developing and how much she's thriving really – she's a really cool chilled out little baby, which I love."
