It is never easy to decide when the right time is to have children, and for many they say they aren’t ready to start a family of their own, even though some are in their 40s or nearing an older age. Some are devoted to their work and so can’t find the time to have children, while others just don’t feel like they are ready and prefer not to put pressure on themselves – they want it to happen naturally if it happens at all for them, and don’t feel it’s right to worry about it.
Carrie Underwood
Carrie Underwood, who recently tied the knot, says she is planning kids but it isn’t something she wants in the immediate future because she is so busy with work: “We obviously want kids, but that’s down the road. Now is not the time, especially with our busy schedules, everything we’ve got going on. We don’t know exactly when, but definitely we will.”
Naomi Campbell
Naomi Campbell says she isn’t rushing into have a child just because she is older, and believes it will happen naturally if it is supposed to happen at all: “Whenever God decides it’s right for me. I don’t put pressure on myself. I let things happen how they should naturally. That’s how I am today. I’m a recovering alcoholic and addict and I don’t drink and I don’t do drugs. I live my life one day at a time.”
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian has learned how hard it is to be a mom thanks to her nephew Mason, and isn’t rushing into anything at the moment: “Let’s just say that Mason is the best birth control ever! I am definitely happy to wait a few years. I’m single and having a good time. I am living my life and there’s nothing I want to tell you. I’m meeting some really amazing people and just trying to live my life, and I am definitely a lot more private than I was before.”
Eva Mendes
Eva Mendes is nearing the 40 milestone, but still feels like she has time to make a family if that is what she wants: “In a weird way I fluctuate between not giving it any thought and wanting to leave it up to whoever’s running the show, then giving it a lot of thought. I have to be honest, I don’t feel the urge yet. Maybe I’ll do it when I’m 41 or something, that’s happened to a lot of people I know who decided not to. I don’t feel the ticking clock. I feel I have time. Whether that’s a reality for me or not, I don’t know. I’ll just be patient. I’m not saying no, but I don’t know, I really don’t.”
Enrique Iglesias
Enrique has been in a steady relationship for ten years now, but still he doesn’t want children right now, although he admits that his feelings on the matter could change: “I don’t feel like I am ready for children at this moment but who knows. Maybe six months from now I will, maybe 16 years from now I won’t. I don’t think that far ahead, I would like to have kids but not right now.”
