Mary J. Blige is the queen of living her life on her own accord. Like Ross, the legendary singer has no children, and she has no regrets.
In an interview with E! Daily Pop, captured by Cocktails with Queens, she says, “I have nieces and nephews forever and I’m always watching how people are scrambling for babysitters,” she explains. “I don’t want to go through that.”
“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 it’s gonna happen.”
