13 Celebrities Who Chose a Childless Life and Explained Why

Even if we live in an era of more tolerance and respect for each one’s life choices, many people still criticize certain attitudes of other people that, as they say, are not enough for anyone else to take care of other than the one who made that decision. This is the case of people who adhere to the movement known as “No children by choice”, the deliberate decision not to have children.

And celebrities who take this kind of stance are often the first to be criticized, as they usually don’t have the financial troubles to bear the costs of raising a child. But if we discover the reasons why famous women make the decision to voluntarily renounce motherhood, we will see that it is not always a difficult and purely selfish issue.

O awesome.club considers that a woman will not become “less of a woman” if she chooses not to have children. And the 13 stars of this post are clear proof of that.

Cameron Diaz, 46, has repeatedly stated that she is exclusively passionate about her work. Since 2015, the actress has been married but doesn’t plan on having children, although she sometimes doesn’t mind playing with other people’s children. Cameron believes that many women are afraid to express their reluctance to have children because they end up being condemned by society. She doesn’t worry about it and considers her life beautiful precisely because she doesn’t have children.

Australian singer and actress Kylie Minogue has overcome many obstacles in life, including cancer and a complicated and destructive relationship. Because of the latter, as Kylie herself acknowledges, she never dared to have a child. She’s had a lot of romances, but she’s never met anyone she wants to spend her life with in a family nest surrounded by children. Kylie doesn’t feel ready to be an independent mother, so for now, she’s only focused on her career.

The star of “Sex in the city”, in terms of motherhood, looks a lot like her character, Samantha. Cattrall enjoys a complete personal life and is not afraid to change partners. The actress was married three times and gave up on having children at age 30. At that time, she didn’t have a suitable partner for the role of husband and father, and so she seriously considered whether it was worth having a baby and raising it alone, so that people would stop pestering her with questions.

Despite her numerous romances, which include a relationship with Robert Downey Jr., Marisa Tomei, 54, has never been married and has no children. The actress has repeatedly admitted that she’s fed up with the constant questions about being a mother and what’s wrong with her because it hasn’t happened yet.

Dita Von Teese explains the absence of children in her life in a simple way: she loves her job and her body very much. Furthermore, the men with whom this queen of burlesque had romances never dreamed of children running around the house.

The singer is reluctant to talk about her personal life and it is extremely difficult to find anything interesting and curious about this subject in the press. But Anastacia speaks openly about breast cancer, which she had to face twice and won.

It was her victory over the disease that led the singer to decide not to have children, even if it was by adoption. If before she had a pronounced “mother syndrome”, now, after having overcome cancer, she has rediscovered her love for performances and fell in love with her work, deciding to focus only on it.

Winona Ryder, 47, was for some time among the most promising young women in Hollywood. The actress lived several romances of great repercussion, but that did not end in a marriage and children. Winona never wanted to be a mother, but she didn’t rule out that possibility. She leaves these questions for later. But even as time went on, the actress was never invaded by the urge to be a mother — which many women talk about after a certain age. So, she didn’t dare give up her career to have a baby. For Winona, being an aunt is enough. Furthermore, the actress is still seen as a girl.

In one of her interviews, the star of the television series “Glow” said that she does not think about having children. Brie made this decision with her husband, Dave Franco. The couple is passionate about their work and their beloved cats are great substitutes for their children. Alison is so worried about her pets that she thinks in horror of the level of stress she would experience if she had had a baby.

Jacqueline Bisset, 74, was long one of the most beautiful women in the world and considered one of Hollywood’s top heartbreakers. Many romances and declarations of love from the most famous and rich men did not convince the actress to marry and become a mother. But Jacqueline has never regretted not having children, believing that this is precisely what allowed her to do things that other women could not even if they had lived several lifetimes.

Renée Zellweger has never hidden that she doesn’t consider children the meaning of her existence. At best, it would be an addition to life. For the star of “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” it’s much more important to be able to do what you love and take care of yourself.

The Dutch Famke Janssen, who gained worldwide fame after acting in “X-Men”, is among those who believe that children are not for everyone. The star realized that she didn’t want to have them after having a dog. The care of the pets turned out to be more than enough for her.

The most popular presenter in the US never thought about children. As a little girl, while her friends imagined themselves as mothers and chose names for their future children, Oprah saw herself as an important political figure who could do many good deeds for people.

Furthermore, at the age of 14, Oprah Winfrey was sexually abused. As a result, she became pregnant and gave birth to a son, who died shortly afterwards. With that, the television presenter put an end to the maternity issue and says that she has never regretted this decision.

Ashley Judd is not only a famous actress, but also a political and humanitarian figure. The star decided she didn’t want to have children because she didn’t see the point in having her own when the world is full of orphans and abandoned babies who need love, affection and attention. The actress has had this opinion since she was 18 years old and to this day it has not changed. He dedicates resources and energy to realizing his idea of ​​making our world a place where all children feel needed and safe.
