You really think that he'll have children in the near future? Why? Sometimes I fear it won't happen for him :( But at least he's a man, that gives him some more years.

Exactly that’s the reason. He said he’s ready for kids about a year ago and as far as I’m aware, he’s also dating. He has previously only dated younger women, so as long as he’s with a woman who wants kids as well (and I think most women do when they’re in their 30s, and I also think he makes sure he’s with sb who does want kids too), I think it’ll happen for him. Just my two cents.
