John Cena
During his August 2024 appearance on Club Shay Shay, he explained that he’s against having kids.
“I don’t want them,” he said.
“I have a certain curiosity about life, and I also know the investment that it takes. And my biggest fear is, as someone who’s driven – many times stubborn, and selfish – I try to approach the world with kindness and curiosity, but I don’t think I’m personally ready, nor will I ever be, to invest the time it needs to be a great parent because I want to live life for all it is.”
“And I still have a lot to do. And I still want to do a lot. I have a wonderful partner I do it with. We’ve had open conversations about this. We share the same values,” he went on to say.

“I do not feel in any way shape or form like I want kids. I cannot imagine a world in which someday I want kids,” she said on her podcast in November 2023.
She did say, however, that she’s freezing her eggs in case she changes her mind: “I am also open to my mind changing. I have changed a lot as a person in my years so far and I hope to continue changing. What I don’t want to happen is for me to turn 40 and realize, ‘F–k, I want kids now,’ and I don’t have enough eggs to make it happen.”
Patricia Clarkson
On iHeartPodcast’s Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi podcast, the 63-year-old star called herself a “single, straight Southern woman who never married and never had children.”
“I have so many sisters who have beautiful children, and they now have beautiful children. I love being an aunt, I love it more than— probably more than acting, which is odd. They’re on par. But I’m telling you, these are gorgeous children, but that doesn’t have to define every woman.”
“I made a big choice, but I knew it when I was young…I had a window to have a child, but [at] the end of the day I loved working, and I grew up with great parents who sacrificed everything for me. And you have to really be committed to having children. You have to be a great parent, and I was afraid I couldn’t be.”
“My mother said, ‘Patty, I just don’t want you to wake up at 50 and be unhappy.’ I woke up at 50 in stilettos and a thong…I’ve had a great sexy-ass life,” she added.

“I’m very, very immature, I think that has kept me from having children, because I’m sort of a child. Maybe if I had kids, I would’ve had to have grown up,” she told British GQ in June of 2023.
