3. Sanaa Lathan, 54

Sanaa Lathan is another celebrity who stays pretty tight-lipped about her personal life. She hasn’t seemed to find The Perfect Guy to jump the broom with or to expand her family. But Lathan doesn’t publicly mourn over it. She talked to Bossip back in 2016 while celebrating the release of her friend Regina Hall’s film, When the Bough Breaks. 

The outlet asked her about children and if she feels the pressure from society to have them. She responded, “Of course, of course I feel it. I feel it all the time, from family, from the world because I’m a public person but I believe in a higher power and I believe that when it’s right it’s right and I also believe that it’s not necessarily everybody’s destiny. It doesn’t make you less. Sometimes you have a different purpose, so who knows what the future holds for me, I’m just trying to keep it positive, always.”
