Stars Who Don't Want Kids: Celebs Who Are Child-Free by Choice
“I do not feel in any way shape or form like I want kids. I cannot imagine a world in which someday I want kids,” she said on her podcast in November 2023.
She did say, however, that she’s freezing her eggs in case she changes her mind: “I am also open to my mind changing. I have changed a lot as a person in my years so far and I hope to continue changing. What I don’t want to happen is for me to turn 40 and realize, ‘F–k, I want kids now,’ and I don’t have enough eggs to make it happen.”
On iHeartPodcast’s Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi podcast, the 63-year-old star called herself a “single, straight Southern woman who never married and never had children.”
“I have so many sisters who have beautiful children, and they now have beautiful children. I love being an aunt, I love it more than— probably more than acting, which is odd. They’re on par. But I’m telling you, these are gorgeous children, but that doesn’t have to define every woman.”
“I made a big choice, but I knew it when I was young…I had a window to have a child, but [at] the end of the day I loved working, and I grew up with great parents who sacrificed everything for me. And you have to really be committed to having children. You have to be a great parent, and I was afraid I couldn’t be.”
“My mother said, ‘Patty, I just don’t want you to wake up at 50 and be unhappy.’ I woke up at 50 in stilettos and a thong…I’ve had a great sexy-ass life,” she added.
“I’m very, very immature, I think that has kept me from having children, because I’m sort of a child. Maybe if I had kids, I would’ve had to have grown up,” she told British GQ in June of 2023.
“It doesn’t seem that fun. People describe having kids as like brief glimmering moments of beauty amongst a sea of pain. Whereas not having kids is just lovely all the time. There’s none of that. It’s just great all day. I’m never like ‘I wish I had kids and I’m missing not having them,’” he told Kelly Clarkson in a March 2023 interview.
“I look over at my wife and she looks at me, and we’re like ‘if we had kids, we couldn’t do this! This wouldn’t even remotely be on the table! We couldn’t do any of this stuff if we had kids!’”
