London: Katy Perry has confessed that her former hubby, Russell Brand, wanted to start a family with her, but she refused because she felt like he would use the kids to control her.

The 29-year-old singer told Marie Claire magazine that she was scared that the comic was trying to make her a stay-at-home mum, Metro.co.uk reported. The `Wide Awake` hit maker added that she really wanted to have babies but wasn`t ready to make the sacrifices that come with having children.
