All women don’t desire to have children… and that’s okay.
Every woman over a certain age with no kids will likely face questions about conception at some point, because, quite frankly…people don’t always mind their business! However, it seems that society overall has evolved to a place of not only accepting the fact that some women have no desire to have children, but embracing it! What used to be somewhat of a taboo topic, has now been replaced with a more positive narrative and empowering representation.
The “rich auntie” aesthetic—the successful, well-traveled, booked and busy woman who spoils all the children in their lives before returning them to their parents—is in!
This list of celebrity ladies are over 40 years old, kid-free and fabulous—the epitome of Rich Auntie energy!

“When people were pressuring me to get married and have children, I knew I was not going to be a person that ever regretted not having them, because I feel like I am a mother to the world’s children…Love knows no boundaries. It doesn’t matter if a child came from your womb or if you found that person at age 2, 10 or 20. If the love is real, the caring is pure and it comes from a good space, it works.“
“I feel fertile with creativity, full of power, more and more a woman than I’ve ever been. And yet that power that I was told I must use was not used.”
“I like my freedom to go and move and do what I want to do. I don’t want to have to tend to someone all the time,” she continues. “I don’t think [having kids] gonna happen.”
” I didn’t have kids by choice, and I’m not married by choice. I was able to embrace my career later in life, in my 30s. So I’m going to do what feels good to me, and I’m going to have fun.”
“[My eggs are] going to go past their expiration date. But it’s what I chose, so I’m fine with that decision.”
“I have not had the baby bug yet…it hasn’t been there for me. I have fur babies…god-children…nieces and nephews…I’m still on my hustle, I’m still on my grind.”
–Mya
“I’ve got six god-babies. Don’t think that because I didn’t birth children that I don’t have children. I have six god-children. I do not feel less fulfilled as a woman—period.”
