Women who are happy, successful and childless at the same time

These famous and successful women tabloids have repeatedly tried to see the pregnant belly, inquired about their attitude to children, and sometimes quite unceremoniously hinted that it would have been time to give birth long ago. Nevertheless, there are many actresses, singers and TV presenters who live well without children, and they do not suffer at all from the fact that their so-called "female destiny" is not fulfilled. Some have already overcome the average childbearing age, and some are a little over thirty. And these girls are not afraid to declare that everyone is free to dispose of her body as she sees fit, and do not succumb to the pressure of traditionalists who believe that a woman must necessarily give birth, otherwise her life is empty and unsuccessful.

After 47 attributed pregnancies and newspaper headlines screaming every week that Jen will have twins, the actress remains childless and seems quite happy with it, although everyone around is convinced that she is lying and actually wants to give birth.

"I'm just not interested in it. I don't have any maternal instinct. And I don't think I'm that exceptional. I think a lot of women don't really want children, but they think they should," Helen Mirren once said in an interview. What can I say: the queen.

Winona Ryder

After the frenzied success of the series "Stranger Things" (Stranger Things), Ryder said that she was often asked what it was like to play the role of Joyce Byers. "People often ask me, 'You don't have children, how do you know how to play a mother?'" the actress shared with the New York Times. It's strange, isn't it, that actors sometimes have to play roles that are not related to personal experience? Is that really their job?

Oprah Winfrey

TV presenter Oprah Winfrey is one of the richest women in the world, and her successful career has lasted for several decades. Since the first successes in work, Oprah has never had children in her plans. "If I had children, they would hate me. Something (in my life) would have to suffer, and most likely it would be them," she said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

Renee Zellweger

In an interview with an Australian radio station in 2016, the actress spoke about how society puts pressure on women to strive to achieve everything in the world. "Women feel judged if they fail to achieve everything," Renee Zellweger said.

Ravshana Kurkova

Actress Ravshana Kurkova is 36 years old, and many people are interested in her when she will get married and give birth. These questions are asked by fans on social networks and almost accuse her of not having children yet. "It surprises me when people write comments on social networks like: "You are already 35 years old, isn't it time to give birth?" You can't blame a woman for not becoming a mother yet. It's painful, disgusting, stupid and tactless. She's not necessarily a careerist or a childfree. I love children, it's just that this miracle hasn't happened to me yet."

Elena Letuchaya

Elena Letuchaya was called to marry more than once, and some novels lasted for 5-6 years, but she always chose a career and travel. Now Elena is 37 years old, and recently in an interview she is increasingly inclined to the fact that she would still like children: "Only recently I began to feel that I would like to have a child — there was female maturity, probably." She recently married Yuri Anashenkov, who has two children from a previous marriage. While Elena does not have her own, she can try a maternal role on the children of her chosen one.

Kylie Minogue

The successful stage career of the Australian singer has been going on for three decades, and it is unlikely that Kylie is going to stop in the near future. And still there are people who ask her when mini-Minogues will appear.

Svetlana Khodchenkova

About a year and a half ago, Svetlana Khodchenkova was suspected of an "interesting situation": in a rather loose outfit, the actress at one of the events saw a non-existent stomach. Then the star was engaged to businessman Georgy Petrishin, and fans wondered when they would get married. Svetlana stopped all suspicions by tweeting: "Dear friends! Information about my "interesting situation" appeared in the press. So that's not true! As soon as I have news for you, I will definitely share it with you! Take care of yourself and your loved ones." A few months later, the engagement was terminated. And although Svetlana Khodchenkova claims that she has been ready to become a wife and mother for a long time, she does not want to give up a successful film career and does not understand why to sacrifice it.

Dita von Teese

The beautiful Dita von Teese said in an interview: "It's quite normal not to have children. And now I'm just looking at what my life is leading me to. I'm not going to be less of a person because I don't have children. Everything will be as it should be."

Kim Cattrall

The star of "Sex and the City" previously spoke out about the fact that the word "childless" has a negative connotation. "This particle of "without" is offensive — "childless", as if you lack something from the fact that you have no children," she said in an interview with a radio station. Given such a successful career, it can hardly be said that Kim lacks something.

Cameron Diaz

The actress repeats the phrase "never say never" like a mantra, but also does not succumb to the pressure of the public. "I think women are afraid to say they don't want children because they will be rejected. I have more friends without children than those who have children," Cameron said in an interview with Cosmo.

Christmas tree

The singer Yelka avoids direct answers about childbirth, as well as about her personal life. "Now I am insanely interested in everything that happens to me, this crazy rhythm of life. But as soon as I realize that it's time for "H" and that I'm a mom, my family will be at the forefront. I'm sure I'll find time for everything." Nevertheless, the tree notes that she has a difficult attitude towards children and she does not feel wild delight from the sight of babies.

Zemfira

Zemfira is 40 years old, and she is one of the most mysterious Russian pop stars. The closest people to her are her nephews Arthur and Artem Ramazanov, who are 26 years old. And about her own children, a long time ago, at one of the press conferences, the singer said: "No, I can't have children, I can say: "Well, kinder, well, are you stunned? Well, what did you do?""
