London, Sep 27 (IANS) Supermodel Kate Moss is so desperate to get pregnant with beau singer Jamie Hince that she had reportedly been taking folic acid pills.

The pills, also known as vitamin B9, increase the chances of conception and help to nurture a healthy baby.

‘Kate is taking supplements every day. Jamie suggested she take folic acid because of its benefits. Her pals have been teasing her that she’s taking acid so openly – considering her reputation,’ thesun.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

‘While there’s been lots of speculation about Jamie and Kate getting married, what they want is to extend their family,’ added the source.

Moss already has seven-year-old daughter Lila with ex-beau Jefferson Winston Hack, editor of ‘Dazed & Confused’ magazine.
