The Hollywood actress often admitted that she had no desire to become a mother. She had a change of heart at the age of 35, but unfortunately there was no suitable man around.

Deborra-Lee Furness
Hugh Jackman's spouse never hid the fact that she could not have children, but that did not stop the couple from becoming great parents. Deborra-Lee and Hugh have welcomed two adopted children into their family: Oscar and Ava Eliot.
The Sex and the City star decided a long time ago that she did not want children and would not have them under the pressure of society.
"Child-less. It sounds like you're less, because you haven't had a child. But there is a way to become a mother in this day and age that doesn't include your name on the child's birth certificate," the actress said in an interview.
Dita Von Teese
Burlesque queen Dita Von Teese has never had children. According to the star, she used to think she was going to live a "normal" life and by the time she was 28, she would definitely be a married woman with kids, but that did not happen. Dita's career took off and there was no room in her busy schedule for children.
Renée Zellweger
Renée Zellweger has a track record of dozens of failed romances and betrayed relationships.

The star has often stressed that she does not consider having biological children to be the meaning of her life.
Helen Mirren never wanted to be a mother and had no love for children. Until the age of 52 the actress was not married, and only Taylor Hackford was able to take her down the aisle. The man already had children from previous relationships, so he had no problems with Helen not wanting kids.
Jennifer tried to have children during her marriage to Brad Pitt, but either a busy schedule was in the way or her health problems. According to rumors, the star suffered two miscarriages, and then her husband left for Angelina Jolie. However, in numerous interviews, the actress has noted that she does not feel deprived and, in fact, Jennifer has never understood the sympathy for her about the fact that she never became a mother, since the actress believes that life is beautiful as it is.
