Miley Cyrus has admitted she is unsure she wants to become a mum.
“I’m 31 now, and I still don’t know if I want kids or not,” the Flowers singer said in an interview with W Magazine. “I feel like my fans kind of are my kids in some way.”
The Grammy-award winner recalled how her godmother, Dolly Parton, 78, felt the same. “I’ve heard Dolly say that too, because she didn’t have kids.”
Miley, who has been dating musician Maxx Morando for two years, also spoke about how happy she is in her current stage of life.
“I love being an adult. I have a rule that I don’t look up or don’t look down at anyone. I just look, which allows me the clarity to see the world for what it really is and people for who they really are. I look at myself almost every day in the mirror and I say, ‘I am a woman.'”
It’s not the first time Miley has spoken out against the expectations she’ll become a mum one day.
“If you don’t want children, people feel sorry for you, like you’re a cold, heartless b**ch who’s not capable of love,” she told Elle in 2019. “Why are we trained that love means putting yourself second and those you love first? If you love yourself, then what? You come first.”
She added, “We’re getting handed a piece-of-s**t planet, and I refuse to hand that down to my child. Until I feel like my kid would live on an earth with fish in the water, I’m not bringing in another person to deal with that.”
