Mary J. Blige Says She’s Never Having Kids: ‘I Like My Freedom…I Don’t Think It’s Gonna Happen’

Published: Saturday 12th Mar 2022 by Rashad

With GRAMMYs, Academy Award nominations, chart-topping albums, and adoration from fans around the globe, Mary J. Blige has checked off an impressive set of achievements over her 51 years.

Because the ‘Love No Limit’ singer has demonstrated there are no limits to what she can accomplish professionally, her personal life has taken a noted backseat.

But, if a recent interview is anything to judge by, Blige is 100% ok with that.

Ahead of sending Janet Jackson‘s fans into a frenzy when she reported she’d be open to sharing a Super Bowl Halftime Show stage with the Pop Queen, the Queen of Hip Hop Soul used the same interview platform to talk about her future – namely as it relates to motherhood.

Taking to E! News’ Daily Pop, Blige was quizzed by resident host Justin Sylvester about her plans to settle down and start a family of her own.

“I have nieces and nephews forever and I’m always watching how people are scrambling for baby sitters. I don’t want to go through that. I like my freedom to go and move and do what I want to do,” she stated. “I don’t want to have to tend to someone all the time.”

And while MJB sounded pretty confident about her stance, she did suggest it could change in the future.

“Right now that’s where I’m at,” she revealed. “But, I don’t think it’s [having kids] gonna happen.”

The revelation arrived shortly before Blige joined Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, and 50 Cent for the Super Bowl’s historic, all-Hip Hop halftime show.

    • Tiff847 March 13, 2022

      That is not true. I do not want kids and am very fertile. Some people just want different things out of life. I’d rather travel than to change diapers, but that’s just me. Others might feel that a kid makes them complete. There is no right or wrong here. It’s a choice.

      • Toyia March 14, 2022

        Agreed.

  6. Yvonne Yates March 13, 2022

    Mary probably can’t have children but that’s her business children are a big responsibility but children are your legacy that you pass on

    • What would Whitney do March 13, 2022

      Life is not guaranteed for nobody

    • Shana March 13, 2022

      Why have kids if you don’t want them. There are enough unwanted kids in foster care. Yes Mary live your life child free. People have kids and can’t take care of them. Food stamps and WIC

    • Monique March 14, 2022

      Why is that the assumption? Many people just don’t want children. It’s really that simple.

  7. Shana March 13, 2022

    With all the blessings of acting new music, and events Mary jas! Its understandable, she still healing as well!

  9. Boss mom March 13, 2022

    Everyone don’t want kids but I just hope she don’t end up like Ms V Fox she said she wished she had a child..its nothing like having unconditional love I didn’t want any but god blessed me with one and it was the best thing he gave me..

  10. Monique March 14, 2022

    Um, how ignorant can you be? There are people in the world who do not want children. That doesn’t mean they can’t have them.

  11. Sheka Tellis March 14, 2022

    I remember her being pregnant when she was with K-ci. What happened to that baby?

    • JustBlaz3 April 29, 2022

    We need more celebs refuse to have kids. And if some decide to have them, then their managers/recording companies/etc should sue them, terminate contracts and throw them out.
