35-year-old actor/writer/director Zoe Kravitz has been busy lately promoting her latest feature film, Blink Twice. She made the movie with her fiancé, Channing Tatum.
During a recent interview with Esquire, Kravitz was asked if she saw herself starting a family with Tatum, and she answered rather honestly, revealing she doesn’t see kids in her future.
For a long time, I felt like there was something wrong with me. I was waiting for this light to go off in my head, and it never did. When you’re younger, you’re like, ‘Well, I can’t have kids. I’m too young! It’d be crazy,’ I had to actually look at, ‘What do I want?’
It’s worth noting that in a way, she is a mother. A stepmother, that is. Tatum shares an 11-year-old daughter with his ex Jenna Dewan.
And Kravitz has a lot of respect for parents, but she does wish people gave her that same respect for the milestones in her life…
For a lot of people that have children, it is this giant, life-changing event — and I do think there is a certain amount of focus and respect that they should get from their community. There’s a lot of pressure on women to have children, and there’s a feeling that if you don’t, you don’t have a purpose here. But this movie, it feels like I gave birth.
We get what she’s saying, but she probably shouldn’t repeat that last line to any moms in her life who just gave birth.
