Cape Town - Liza Minnelli and David Gest are reported to be planning to adopt four children.
The 56-year-old cabaret star walked down the aisle for the fourth time to wed producer David Gest (48) on Saturday.
In an interview with OK! magazine, which bought exclusive rights to cover the wedding, Broadway producer Gest says he and Minnelli plan to spend half the year at their New York apartment and half in France.
He told the magazine: "We are going to spend half the year living in France just outside Paris, where we will raise our children.
"We are adopting four children ... of all races, a black child, a white child ... it doesn't matter at all.
"Liza is going to be the best mother in the world. She has the greatest heart of anyone I've ever met," the Sunday Express newspaper, owned by the same company as OK!, said he told the magazine.
The new couple and their 300 guests, who included Michael Jackson, Joan Collins, Martine McCutcheon and Diana Ross, on Saturday partied the night away at the expensive St Regis hotel on New York's Wall Street.
Hundreds of onlookers lined the streets to catch a glimpse of some of Hollywood's oldest stars, including Mickey Rooney and Kirk Douglas, being dispensed from a fleet of blacked-out limousines before the ceremony, in New York's Marble Collegiate Church.
They were rewarded afterwards when Minnelli, dressed in a white mink-trimmed coat, walked out with her new husband, who kept on his Top Gun-style sunglasses, and threw her posy of white roses into the crowd.
The impromptu gesture prompted shouts of "Liza, Liza" from fans who stood three deep behind police barriers to see the veteran singer, Ananova reported.
