12 Powerful Women Over 40, Child-Free by Choice And Living Their Best Lives - Page 6
6. Tracee Ellis Ross, 52
Tracee Ellis Ross has always voiced her stance that just because a woman may not have a partner or children, it doesn’t make her worthless. That does not mean she doesn’t want to have children, but she will not settle with just anyone. Last month, the Girlfriends star opened up to former First Lady Michelle Obama and her brother, Craig Robinson, about the subject.
At 22: 51 on their IMO podcast, she said, “As much as grief does surface for me around not having children and not having a partner, I still wouldn’t want the wrong partner. I am not interested in that, you have to make my life better, it can’t just be I’m in a relationship just to be in a relationship.”
