Which celebrities and famous people are child free /childless? Please post their names here

Oh and I am looking for male names as well as female ones please.

Ricky Gervais and his long term gf Susan

Keanu Reeves

Oprah

mickey rourke

Oprah of course thanks r4 !

Matt Dilion

John Cusack

Ina and Jeffrey!

I was just about to ask about Matt Dillon r7 !

I think I am right in saying Richard Beymer does not have children?

Ian Mckellen

Who?? r8

Tracee Ellis Ross

Ralph Fiennes, I'm surprised he doesn't have any considering he isn't picky with who he puts his dick in without condoms!

r11=T.R. Pescod

Anjelica Huston

Helen Mirren

Angela Merkel, Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Sarah Silverman (says she's afraid of passing on her tendency to depression)

In terms of celebrities of yesteryear there is Marilyn Monroe and Greta Garbo.

Chelsea Handler

Jennifer Anniston

Cameron Diaz

Jennifer Aniston.

Scottish first Minister Nicola Sturgeon and EastEnders legend Barbara Windsor.

Why are you curious, OP?

Rachael Ray

Naomi Campbell

Ashley Judd

Kathy Griffin

Winona Ryder

Victoria Principal

Because I am human r24 and because I think it would be a nice counterweight in a number of ways to all the emphasis on pregnancy and parenthood.

r26 I was a big fan of Dallas can't believe I forgot about Victoria Principal

R27 the only thing is that with celebrities their age and fertility doesn't matter. Their wealth allows them to have kids at any time through adoption and assisted pregnancies.

Who ever thought Andy Cohen would be a dad?

Zsa Zsa Gabor

True up to a point r29 but that is more relevant to those who might struggle to have kids and their wealth offers them a way around it .Many on this list I suggest are choosing to be child free or are not passionate enough about having kids for it to matter to them if they don't have any?

So far Jon Hamm.

How dare these people not procreate! They should be exempt from the human race!

r30 Zsa Zsa did have a child a daughter Francesca who died the year before her.She never had children thus her bloodline died out but she was not childless.

Similarly Raquel Welch does not have any grandchildren to the best of my knowledge? So her bloodline looks set to die out but she did have kids.

Jesus! And the Pope.

Marisa Tomei

Eileen Atkins

All the children of the world are Jesus' children

Liza tried but had a number of miscarriages.

The two middle Brady kids, Christopher Knight & Eve Plumb, are both child free.

Patrick Swayze

Roberta Flack

June Pointer

Diane Sawyer

I think Bob Barker did not have any children?

Jay Leno

That's true. And Betty White. I think that's why both of them (Barker and White) were big into animal rights. Well, it contributes toward being especially loving of pets.

R42 Bob & his wife were spayed & neutered.

Renee Zellweger

OMG, did no one mention Jennifer Aniston yet?!!

How could I have forgotten about the lovely Betty White?!

I think Stephanie Powers is also child free?

Megan Mullally & Nick Offerman Kristin Chenoweth Bernadette Peters Lauren Graham Matthew Perry Elisabeth Moss Christina Hendricks

Anderson Cooper

Lily Tomlin, Bill Maher, others at the link

Ellen Degenerate

Cindy Adams

Mrs Doubtfire

Siegfried and Roy

R47, see R22.

Nietzsche, Jean Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Albert Camus, probably many philosophers - maybe they know something the rest of us don't?

John Gielgud, Noel Coward, Richard Simmons, Liberace, Paul Lynde, Jonathan Frid, well you get where I'm going...

Elizabeth Dole?

Lillian Gish

Dorothy Gish

D.W. Griffith

Gloria Swanson

Marilyn monroe

Like Jesus, all the children of the world belong to Oprah

Jean-Luc Godard, breathless and childless.

Charlie Rose, I think.

Christopher Walken

Christopher Walken

Holland Taylor

Tom Courtenay

[quote]Asked about not having had children, he replies, "I haven't got over being a son yet!"

Great

Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Beethoven, Handel, Chopin, Emily Bronte, Jane Austen, Edgar Allan Poe, Van Gogh, Tchaikovsky, Sarah Bernhardt, Virginia Woolf, Vaslav Nijinsky, Rudolf Nureyev, Martha Graham, Maria Callas, Dorothy Parker, Harper Lee, Eudora Welty, Julia Child, really so many of the very best people.

Oops Nijinsky had a daughter. Tried to check most of them but missed that one. Anyway, loads of writers, classical musicians, philosophers, etc.

Rachel Roberts

The biggest pussy hound of them all Leo DiCaprio!

Jay leno

Winona Ryder

Anjelica Huston

Ann-Margret

Christopher Walken

Stockard Channing

Pam Grier

Bill Maher

Michael Stipe

Kenneth Branagh

Gloria Swanson had 3 children, so whoever upthread, you're wrong.

George Washington, the Father of His Country

Did ANY of the Brontes have children? Poor Charlotte was pregnant when she died.

Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. Like Jesus and Oprah, all the children of the world are theirs.

Beatrix Potter

No, R79. Emily and Anne both died before 35 of tuberculosis. Their brother, Branwell I think was his name, died either of TB or alcoholism, not sure. I thought Charlotte died in childbirth but maybe it was TB as well. And the first two daughters of the family died as children of the same disease. The father outlived them all! (mother died young of TB as well) What a brutal time.

Dan Fogelberg

Paula Abdul

Chris Botti

Debbie Gibson

Susan Boyle

Jennifer Holliday

Lisa Fischer

I WISH I HAD NEVAH HAD MY EVIL SPAWN. PUFF PUFF. THE NATURAL BORN ONE IS SUCH A CUNT.

FOR ONCE I AGREE WITH THE BITCH.

We third and fourth that.

Nathan Fillion

Stana Katic

Debbie Harry

Lauren Hutton

jon Jett

I posted Gloria Swanson: thanks for the correction

Helen Mirren

Sheryl Underwood (The Talk)

Aisha Tyler

Stevie Nicks

Smart ones.

Children will fuck up your lives. It seems a lot of them are autistic...then as adults they are bi polar...then they decide to take up some freaky religion, then they can not hold a job, next thing, they become heroin addicts. Kids? They are not worth it.

Chloë Sevigny (though I remember another thread where a poster claimed Sevigny was trans)

R110, i feel the same. and the kids are such selfish and ungrateful cunts these days.

It's much harder for kids to grow up normal these days with all the digital distractions. We still don't know what harm is done to their growing brains, staring at the screens since age 2. can't be a good thing.

Monica Lewinsky

Bill Maher

Kids can be useful when you get old. But I think you're better off not having kids, keeping that money, and using your wealth to solve problems and help you be comfortable in your later years.

The Trollsen Twins

Heather Graham

The Olsen twins are too young to be on this list.

Magda and Eva Gabor

Hilary Swank

Lecy Goranson

Kids are not gonna be useful when you're old if they are fucked up on drugs or who knows what mental illness they will have, you will probably have to visit them in jail after they shoot up the whole school.

It's hard to say what a child might actually do for you in old age. They might be tremendously helpful or they might rob you blind.

It depends on their personality, how stable they are, where they live, what problems they might have (joblessness, drugs, mental illness, etc.) and what their partner is like (if they have one).

Julie Christie - child free and damned happy about it.

R124 Well, she had good reason to be wary.

NATHAN LANE

JAMES BUCHANAN

EDWARD EVERETT HORTON

MARJORIE MAIN

SPRING BYINGTON

ANN COULTER

Helen Keller.

Bonnie Franklin

Shirley Booth (Hazel)

Dolly Parton

question, do most people not have kids? The older I get the more I find alot of couples don't have kids let alone singles. I fuckin hate the idea of people having kids. Too many selfish people pluggin their kids pics on insta and then having their parents raise them(I'm a millennial).

If he's smart he got a vasectomy a couple decades ago, r13. Really, all men would be smart to freeze a sperm sample or two when they're in their late teens or early 20s, get themselves snipped, and then never worry about causing an unplanned pregnancy again.

It would have been nice if Fiennes had donated his sperm to a sperm bank so those sea glass-colored eyes and handsome Roman nose could've been passed on to future generations.

R3 Didn't he have a baby with someone that died?

Christina Hendricks and Geoffrey Arend don't have kids and say they don't want any.

R133 speculation in the Andy Cohen thread is that Ralph was Andy's boyfriend and they broke up last year because he didn't want to marry and have a kid.

R134 supposedly the baby died and then later the baby momma I think.

Kylie Minogue

The wise o yes have no children.

Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands

Sam Rockwell has stated in interviews that being a father is not for him and has no intention on ever having children. I guess his long-time girlfriend Leslie Bibb has the same view on not wanting children.

I really respect people who know that it's not for them and would most likely end up being terrible parents. There are certainly many (and I do mean MANY) people who've had children that had no business having them.

Pattie Boyd

Emily Dickinson (my muse)

Marlo Thomas

(She has five stepchildren though... and I'm sure they cannot stand her.)

Cameron Diaz has a kid with the chubby Madden brother

I did not know that Gloria Steinem's stepson is Christian Bale and that Oprah gave birth at age 14 to a son, Canaan, that died in infancy.

Doris Day

Doris Day had a son named Terry Melcher who worked in the music industry. Charles Manson thought he sent those rabid kids to murder people at a house he thought was occupied by Melcher because he'd been turned down for a record contract and Melcher was involved - maybe he's the one who turned him down? Oh I don't know all the exact details but she definitely had a son (her only child.)

Theresa May

Angela Merkel

Emmanuel Macron

Emmanuel Lewis

Ron Eldard.

Keanu Reeves did have a daughter named Ava who was stillborn.

[quote]r133 speculation in the Andy Cohen thread is that Ralph was Andy's boyfriend and they broke up last year because he didn't want to marry and have a kid.

...wut?

Freddie Mercury

Prince Rogers Nelson (his son Amiir only lived for a week and died in 1996)

Allison Janney

Jeanine Garafolo

Rachel Ray

Rachel Maddow

I would like to be adopted by Macron in one of those chic "I now have an adult adult son" set-ups that sophisticated Europeans like Zeffirelli go in for.

[quote]question, do most people not have kids?

I think the stats show the majority of people still have kids today, although it's become more common not to have children compared to several decades ago.

The planet is dying and with global warming, the future is bleak!

And with overpopulation it is much bleaker.

Don Lemon

Cory Booker

Diane lane

Lane has a daughter.

Never mind lane has a daughter. I should have googled ahead of time. Dunce cap for me , I guess.

Parker Posey!

Haven't checked exhaustively but pretty sure none of these had children: •Thomas Hobbes •Baruch Spinoza •Blaise Pascal •Immanuel Kant •Isaac Newton •Friedrich Nietzsche •René Descartes •David Hume •John Locke •Thomas Aquinas •Gottfried Leibniz •Baruch Spinoza •Henry David Thoreau •John Stuart Mill •Soren Kierkegaard •Emma Goldman •Simone de Beauvoir •Simone Weil •Hannah Arendt •Arthur Schopenhauer •Ludwig Wittgenstein •Nicola Tesla (celibate) •Ayn Rand

Thinkers don't like kids?

Thinkers were thinking too much, not fucking enough and fucking Thoreau was in the fucking woods alone doing who knows what!

Ashley Judd

Condi Rice

Seth MacFarlane, so far anyways.

Dana Delaney

Thinking of people for this list has made me realize there are soooooo many celebrities who had just the one.

Not having kids is a good way to stay looking youthful.

Kim Deal

Kelley Deal

PJ Harvey

Julianna Hatfield

Greer Garson

Claudette Colbert

Sonja Henie

Marie Dressler

Melina Mercouri

Judy Holliday

Irene Papas

Shirley Booth

Ann Miller and Ginger Rogers and Suzanne Farrell.

Sean Hayes

Queen Latifah

If only Sonja's romance with Liberace had worked out...

[R69] Nijinsky had a daughter with his wife Romola who also became a dancer. She met Nureyev in London in the 60s or 70s, so lived quite a long time.

Stevie Nicks

Linda Ronstadt

Bonnie Raitt

Henie was a frequent patient of Hollywood's secret abortionist, Miss Inez Burns:

[quote] Henie swept into Inez's house, wearing a white mink, teetering heels and a hat with a triad of pheasant feathers. Dangling from her ears was a pair of giant diamond drops. Inez profusely greeted the star and whisked her upstairs. Two hours later, Inez and Henie walked down together, where the actress was greeted by a man in a heavy overcoat who escorted Henie to her favorite San Francisco hotel, the Huntington on Nob Hill. Henie's was among the last abortions Inez ever performed.

Robert Smith of The Cure

Bonnie Raitt

Dwight Yoakam

Ronstadt has a couple kids.

Brendan Coyle

Julia 'deliberately baron' Gillard

Warrior Monk James Mattis

Patti Davis Ronald Reagans daughter who get herself sterilised and made some uncomplimentary comments about her mother when she talked about why she got sterilised!

Kim Novak

r155 I suspect you are having kinky thoughts!!

The ruler of small arab country Oman- The Sultan of Oman has no children so it is thought one of his nephews or distant cousins will be his successor

Queen Latifah's partner is pregnant.

Mitzi Gaynor

Just checked and yes West Side story actor Richard Beymer is child free.

Gerard Butler. Supposedly ran through more pussy than a rock star, yet none have ever gotten pregnant.

Henry Cavill. A very family oriented, virile man who's had a fiance and several girlfriends. But no babies.

Are her parents retiring to Palm Springs?

Joaquin Phoenix

Margaret Mitchell (I think)

Daryl Hannah

R173, Judy Holliday had a son named Jonathan Oppenheim.

[quote]Gerard Butler. Supposedly ran through more pussy than a rock star, yet none have ever gotten pregnant.

Seriously, as a male celebrity who likes to sleep around with women, you'd have to be a moron not to get a vasectomy to thwart would-be gold diggers.

Gerard gets around... he even porked whats-her-face Brandi Glanville.

Bravo OP for celebrating the child-free!!

Robert Louis Stevenson

Maeve Binchy

Lionel Shriver

Hilary Mantel

The Father of our country, George Washington.

I guess God wasn't interested in being a grampa - so Jesus H. Christ.

Richard Chamberlain

Wilt Chamberlain

Cameron Diaz

Chris Issak

[quote] Seriously, as a male celebrity who likes to sleep around with women, you'd have to be a moron not to get a vasectomy to thwart would-be gold diggers.

Oh, please. Greedy ass THOTS can be easily thwarted by using contraceptives. Besides, Gerard's never been anything more than a B-movie star with a good publicist. He's not playing for the NBA, NFL or is a hip hop mogul. I doubt females were fucking him for his bank account and mediocre Hollywood connections.

Thank you r221 !!

vasectomy is not 100%. you can still get someone pregnant

Keanu Reeves had a child who died at birth.

Fred and Mary Trump: just dreaming....

Diane Sawyer

Connie Chung

Johnny Weir

Frankie Grande

Ross Martin

Ryan Seacrest

Derek Hough

[quote]Keanu Reeves had a child who died at birth.

Sad that the child was stillborn, but I don’t think you can call him a parent under any circumstances. Prince also went through the same ordeal.

R140: you may have been kidding but the current king of the Netherlands (Willem-Alexander) is her son. She had two other sons, one of whom died.

[quote]Gerard Butler. Supposedly ran through more pussy than a rock star, yet none have ever gotten pregnant.

Maybe he's sterile.

Morrissey

Which ones are those that believe having children is unethical, not just for 'overpopulation' reasons but believe it is cruel to bring a child into the world (life is difficult etc)?

R145 - Cameron Diaz does NOT have child; not even a stepchild with husband Benji Madden.

Vivian Vance, four husbands but no children.

R240, Lucy demanded Viv's womb be removed after the "I Love Lucy" pilot was picked up. In the contract.

KEVIN SPACEY

All these people are very smart : children are a nest of troublemakers.

Troublemakers in what way r243 ?

"Create rather than procreate" (Nathalie Clifford Barney, American writer/poet). When you have children you give up, a "big" part of your freedom.

Queen Fabiola of Belgium

The world is too awful to bring children into, but if Matt Dillon had had a son when he was 34, said son would be 20 today, and possibly quite gorgeous.

I remember reading that Julie Christie never had any children.

Michael Pitt hasn't fathered any so far.

[quote]Michael Pitt hasn't fathered any so far.

Probably a good thing.

He is rumoured to be the real father of one of his sisters kids. R193

I noticed it is very rare to find male sports stars who haven’t fathered kids by their mid-thirties.

R239 Read the subject of the thread, you fucking moron.

R232, Connie Chung has a son.

Michael Wolff

George Gershwin - Greta Garbo - Lillian Gish and Dorothy Gish.

George Burns, Gracie Allen, Jack Benny and his wife Mary Livingstone - none of the four had biological children but they did adopt.

Joni Mitchell had a child, gave it up for adoption, and never had another. I don't think Tracy Chapman has any children with her female partner.

Singer/songwriter Janis Ian: When they met, Ms. Ian wanted [her girlfriend] Ms. Snyder to become pregnant. (Ms. Ian had already learned she could not conceive.) But for Ms. Snyder, whose daughter, Pier, was already grown, the thought of starting all over again was daunting. “I took a deep breath,” said Ms. Snyder, “and said, ‘Give me 10 minutes to go outside and scream, and I’ll get pregnant if that’s what you want.’ ” But soon Ms. Ian realized that she wanted to tour again and that she was happy being a stepmother. Life without little ones didn’t last long, though. By the late ’90s, they were grandmothers. (Pier’s daughters are now 16 and 14.) “Janis will always regret not having a child,” said Ms. Snyder, now 67

Santa and Mrs. Claus

Jesus of Nazareth

Mother Theresa

Buddha

[quote]Henry Cavill. A very family oriented, virile man who's had a fiance and several girlfriends. But no babies.

True, but even straight guys today are waiting later in life to have children, so being a male celebrity without children today doesn't stand out as much as it would have in the past.

Lisa Stansfield

(She blames her and her husband's being childless on her smoking cigarettes/her age.)

kylie Minogue

Suzanne Pleshette spoke on Johnny Carson show about wanting children but never having had any. Wiki: "She suffered a miscarriage during her marriage to [Tommy] Gallagher, and the couple were childless. Asked about children in an October 2000 interview, Pleshette stated: "I certainly would have liked to have had Tommy’s children. But my nurturing instincts are fulfilled in other ways. I have a large extended family; I'm the mother on every set. So if this is my particular karma, that's fine."

Carrie Anne Inaba

Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood

Graham Norton, Alan Carr, Patricia Routledge (Keeping Up with Appearances), Miranda Hart, Emma Chambers (Vicar of Dibley), Julian Clary, Graham Chapman, Eddie Izzard, Stephen Frye, Jimmy Carr, Edward Everett Horton, Arthur Treacher, Beatrix Potter, P. G. Wodehouse, Lewis Carroll, C. S. Lewis – along with Ricky Gervais mentioned upthread, is this a British comedian/comic-writer thing? (though Norton is Irish).

Hans Christian Andersen, George Eliot (Mary Anne Evans), Clifton Webb, Ozzie Peter Allen, Susan Anton, Frances Bavier (Aunt Bea).

Are we counting people who adopted but had no biological children? If so: Dawn French, Penelope Keith, Bob Hope.

Jared Leto

Angelica Huston

Mary Shelley

[Quote]Are we counting people who adopted but had no biological children?

I don't think so; adopting is raising children, not being child free.

It's interesting how many of the children's authors didn't have any of their own.

Alan Greenspan

If you mean the Mary Shelley who wrote Frankenstein, she had several children. (they're listed at Wikipedia)

But I don't think any of these had children: H. P. Lovecraft, Philip Roth, Truman Capote, Gore Vidal, Andrew Sullivan, Dick Cavett

R272 oops thanks for the correction I thought she died young so I assumed no kids.

Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and Audrey Geisel

Audrey died today at age 97.

Harper Lee

Venus Williams Paris Hilton Kendall Jenner Lindsay Lohan John Holmes

Mary Shelley's children died very young (except one) and her husband Percy drowned at 29, but she lived to 53 (died of natural causes). But her tragic life does make it seem she died young too.

"On the first anniversary of Mary Shelley's death, the Shelleys opened her box-desk. Inside they found locks of her dead children's hair, a notebook she had shared with Percy Bysshe Shelley, and a copy of his poem Adonaïs with one page folded round a silk parcel containing some of his ashes and the remains of his heart"

Coco Chanel

Zaha Hadid maybe?

Salvador Dali

Philip Johnson

Carole Radziwill

R277 I am going to read Shelley’s biography. She was so ahead of her time.

Robert Duvall

Beth Stern She just has lots of foster kittens.

Jonathan Swift, Marcel Proust, Marianne Moore, T. S. Eliot, Samuel Beckett, John Kennedy Toole

Honoré de Balzac, Gustave Flaubert, Tennessee Williams, Jenny Lind, Henry James

Amy Sedaris

Alan Rickman

Jennifer Aniston, though for years she had to pretend that she wanted them as not to alienate her Frau base. If she straight up said "I'm not interested in kids ", there would have been a huge backlash.

Adam Clayton of U2

Gina Gershon

Lee Latchford-Evans of Steps

(the oldest member of the group, the only one without kids, and the youngest looking)

Jacqueline bissett

R292 Gershon is apparently close to her stepkids. I think her being childfree is less by choice than just the way her life worked out.

Aimee Mann

Fran Lebowitz Lillian Hellman Dorothy Parker Flannery O’Connor Carson McCullers

Anita Ekberg

[quote]Jared Leto

Has Leto ever said why he doesn't have children?

Donna Mills

Barbara Taylor Bradford

Diane Lane and Donna Mills both have daughters. Mills’s daughter is adopted.

Doug Stanhope; Bill Hicks; Florence King; Jan Hooks; Harry Dean Stanton; Johnny Rotten; Thomas Hardy; Patricia Clarkson; Philip Larkin; D. H. Lawrence

R299

Jared Leto has many titles, but dad—so far—isn't one of them.

The Oscar winner is known as a singer-songwriter, director and actor, but as far as becoming a parent is concerned, the single star has no plans. "I think it's really important to be present if you have children. I have a lot of... things to take care of," he told ES Magazine.

Did she say why?

Jake Gyllenhaal.

I think it's cool how the UK puts less pressure on people to settle down and shoot out kids...it's awful in the States.

[quote]Gilda Radner

I read that Gene and Gilda wanted kids, but then she got ovarian cancer and all bets were off.

I would have had children. But Steven Spielberg & Barbara Streisand conspired to destroy my career and I didn't think it was in the bed interest of children to bring them into this world. Why did Steven & Babara hate me so much?????

R324 She probably doesn't want Uncle James getting his clutches on them.

R339 did Susan really accuse Spielberg and Streisand of trying to destroy her career or is this some type of inside joke?

R337 Americans have this icky pregnancy fetish, where it's treated with way too much voyeurism and interest, rather than just a medical event and fact of life for some people. Brits and Europeans seem to be less creepily invested in pregnancy and childbirth. For the last several years, celeb magazines have focused less on sex, rumors of affairs and backstage drama and more on "baby bump " watches, with close up photos of various starlets stomachs looking for signs of pregnancy. Ewwww!

Warren Harding had a daughter with his mistress.

[quote]I think it's cool how the UK puts less pressure on people to settle down and shoot out kids...it's awful in the States.

The Daily Fail is the UK’s most widely read paper and promotes the frau life like no one else.

R342, you’re talking about the Daily Fail, right?

R342, I think it's because female celebrities themselves often use their pregnancies and children to promote their careers.

Nicole Scherzinger.

Craig Stevens (star of Peter Gunn) married 50 years but no kids

Victor Webster

Grayson McCouch

R330, Henry Kissinger has a son and a daughter.

Apocalyptic movie where all children do not survive pregnancies. Deconstructing cycle of life

Sounds like an intriguing but creepy film r362 - I think I might check it out!

Kim Cattrall

Paris Hilton. She's almost 38, and the clock is ticking...

Good point r365 - I don't think anyone else has mentioned her name so far which is a little surprising.

Renee zelwegger

Tara Reid

Linda Blair

Jennifer Tilly

Sheri Moon Zombie

Adrienne King

Linnea Quigley

Martine Beswick

Condoleezza Rice, Marisa Tomei, Mickey Rourke

Keegan-Michael Key

Pity about Keanu’s little girl and his gf. While he may have been a wonderfully kind and doting father to a daughter, I do wonder about the suitability of mega movie-stars to parenthood in general - ceding immense attention and self-centredness one is accustomed to as a career must be tough..

Cool Breeze would have a passel of Haafu sons by now were it possible to breed pretty Japanese twinks. He’s about thirty years too early to that party as it is, so Akanishi Jin kept his figure and his honor.

R365 about how old is a Western women when she becomes Christmas Cake? It’s some absurdly young age like 25 or 28 in the East, but it seems Paris is considered only just CC at a decade older than that.

I mean the entire concept is misogynist rubbish, but it helps to know what hurdles one is up against even if to sidestep them.

R321 Corey F eldman has a son named Zen, who is about 14 years old or so now. Afaik Zen currently lives with his mother Suzie and takes her last name rather than his father’s, as his parents have been acrimoniously divorced for at least several years (rn it’s reported Corey is engaged to a different much-younger woman who he’s been dating for several years).

Corey has his son’s name tattooed on his left arm, set close alongside a script with the numbers ‘222’ which allegedly commemorate the late actor Corey Haim. Little toddler Zen appears as himself a handful of times in back of shot during the 2006 reality show THE TWO COREYS.

R313 as for Axl, probably best he hasn’t and doesn’t ever pass on that inherent mental illness and history of abuse.

Per IG Slash has some sweet funny kids, and Duff McKagan has smart put-together pretty teen daughters. Tracii Guns has the cutest son of all, currently in gradeschool and the spitting image of him at that age.

It’s Izzy & Steven who more noticeably have no known offspring, and given the drugs/irresponsibility thing on their parts that’s probably for the best too. No clue if Matt Sorum, Gilby Clarke, Buckethead or Dizzy Reed et al. spawned but it’s likely.

It’s sad Scott Weiland of STP/Velvet Revolver didn’t pass on his talent or beauty.

It's real hard to believe that many of the male celebrities mentioned on this thread don't have kids. Some of these guys have been up inside more pussy than a staff of gynecologists, and somebody would've gotten knocked up. Sterility ain't that common. It's more likely that they're either unaware that they're fathers or aren't willing to publicly acknowledge their children.

R373 Everyone has a different idea in the West. It's less about the age and more about the individual woman, and her lifestyle and vices per se. PH has long been used up and STIs may have even killed her fertility. As far as actual age of still able to get knocked up, many can into their 40s. Sometimes they'll lie and say they can't but unless there's official tests that the ovarian reserve is empty or something else wrong, she can still have kids with or without medical assistance, depending.

The Go-Go's minus Belinda Carlisle & Charlotte Caffey.

Shannen Doherty

R376 maybe they had a vasectomy? They can be reversed later on if the guy wants. And while infertility is rare, it still does happen.

Tina Sinatra

Captain (Daryl Dragon) & (Toni) Tennille

Lara Flynn Boyle

Missy Elliott

Anymore male names?

Anthea Turner

Authors Patricia Cornwell and Donna Tartt

Miss Lindsey Graham - though he raised his sister when both their parents died and the girl was still a teenager. He changed his life plans and stayed in South Carolina out of duty to her. Does that qualify him as Mama Linds?

In case anyone didn't know... Jennifer Aniston... surprised?

Joan Collins husband Percy Gibson. Before they married she asked him if he was really sure that he didn't want children as she wasn't going to give him any and he said yes.

Chelsea handler

Lady Gaga

Sarah Silverman - she said she doesn't want to pass on her 'depression' gene.

Phyllis McGuire

I was going to say Joaquin Phoenix but he fathered a child with his sister.

Janeane Garofalo.

Pardon??!!! r395

46. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 01/04 **#15** That's Messed Up: You know what is messed up? When you find out the father of one of the children of this A- list mostly movie actor (#1) all of you know was actually fathered by one of the actor best friends. Want to know what is more messed up? The actor's best friend is an actor. (#2). Something more messed up? The father of the baby is a relative of the mother. Even worse? The current actress girlfriends of #1 and #2 know and don't care. (#3 & #4). #1 - Casey Affleck/Summer Phoenix #2 - Joaquin Phoenix #3 - Floriana Lima #4 - Rooney Mara

Bill Maher.

Gosh r398 That blind makes depressing reading.

Mindy Cohn

Louie Anderson

R399, yeah, Bill Maher has been saying for years that he hates kids.

Anyone mention Tom Cruise yet?? So we've accepted that Suri is his biological kid.

Greta Van Susteren - no kids and a Scientologist (along with her husband) - one of the weirdest people in America imo.

Kaye Ballard, Tahnee Welch, Gloria De Piero

Did Mae West have any kids?

Ann Margaret

Christopher Knight

Why start a thread about sad, lonely women?

Three incorrect assumptions in your comment r409

What kind of woman doesn’t want children? Even the lesbians I’ve known have all given in after a while and found husbands and had babies.

Only the very homely or mannish lesbians don’t. These Hollywood actresses have all rendered themselves barren with all the operations, is what I suspect.

I know several women who have a child and regret it R411.

R404, Tom Cruise has two adopted children with Nicole Kidman. They both cut off ties with Kidman to become hardcore scientologists with Cruise, sadly.

^^poor Nic. I feel for her, she has lovely maternal energy but due to cultists can’t share it with her own children.

I was about to say Vincent Kartheiser and make a cackling comment about it, but then I checked my facts and discovered that he is a married father to a 3 year-old son.

You’d think the environmental zealotry would have stopped him if nothing else.

It's a truly sad and shameful situation r414. Poor Nicole.

R412, what kind of mother regrets having her children? It’s the most important thing a woman can do. What does a woman’s life even mean without children?

R417 Are you lost?

R417 are you crazy? Years - really decades ago - the newspaper agony auntie Ann Landers did a survey, and a relatively high percentage of mothers regretted having children (anonymously of course.) I can't remember what it was - just that I was shocked at the time. 30% - something like that. Kids are expensive and can worry a parent to death. What's the adage -- your parents ruin the first half of your life and your kids ruin the second half. There are many many advantages to being child-free.

And how do you really miss what you never had? You may have romanticized what you think you would have had - but that's not realistic. Most intelligent, practical people don't waste their time pining for what they don't have, which is just stupid and pointless. If you miss kids - think of another way to help - volunteer at a children's hospital, work with children in schools, clubs, etc. Be a foster parent. Pay monthly to starving children in Africa. I could go on and on.... No need to sit and pout about what you don't have, and I doubt many women do that. You're ridiculous (or likely a troll)

Labelle members Sarah Dash and Nona Hendryx

Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton.

Ellen Burstyn

Jane Fonda is not childfree r421

Wasn't famous American interior designer Florence Knoll who just died aged 101 childfree?

Ellen Burstyn adopted a son at about age 29.

r423 Who was 29 -- Ellen or the son?

Dusty Springfield

R424 - Ellen - I think it was 1960 or something - it's on Wikipedia

Sandra Locke.

Terry Gross (and Francis Davis)

r417... Bullshit.

Well, I still think that a woman without a husband and children is very unhappy. This is why lesbians are so mean and nasty, and usually find husbands in the end anyway.

Prince

Stevie Nicks Christine McVie Blondie Kate Bush

David Lee Roth

R433 just posting this since I was curious what David has been up to.

[quote]Kate Bush

She has one son, now around 20 years old

[quote] Well, I still think that a woman without a husband and children is very unhappy. This is why lesbians are so mean and nasty, and usually find husbands in the end anyway.

You've got to be a troll but I'll bite. The happiest demographic of marrieds/unmarrieds by gender are, yep, Unmarried Women. The least happy? Unmarried men.

When a spouse dies, men don't make it very long - several years at most. Women keep on going till the expected age, if not longer. They handle widowhood much better than men handle losing their spouses.

Look it up.

* on average - not all men die soon after their wives, but it's much more common than the opposite, and they're less likely to reach the age of death that married men reach.

This is anecdotal but I've seen several of my friends' widowed fathers remarry far too quickly, often tearing the family apart because the new wife does not embrace his kids.

Ted Shackelford = no kids and never married.

R439, Ted Shackelford doesn't have kids but he has been married twice.
