Miley Cyrus is shedding mild on her determination to be child-free.
The “Flowers” singer appeared on The New York Occasions’ “The Interview” podcast and defined why she simply doesn’t really feel that enthusiastic about the potential of motherhood.
“My stepdad asked me the other day, ‘Why are you the only one without a makeup line?’” Cyrus stated in a sit-down with Lulu Garcia-Navarro.
“I was like, ‘Cause that’s not my passion.’ He goes, ‘That’s the right answer.’ And it made so much sense. It’s like, ‘I don’t have a makeup line because I’m not a makeup artist,’” she continued.
“I feel that way about motherhood. It’s just never been something that I’ve been overly passionate about,” she stated.
“It’s a lot of responsibility and devotion and energy, and if you’re not passionate about that, I don’t know how you do sleepless nights and 18 years of what my mom dealt with,” she added.
“And when I say 18 years, I mean 33, ’cause I’m still a baby,” she quipped. “So I’ve never felt the burn, you know? And I think for me, the burn is everything.”
Cyrus has shared her ambivalence towards parenting previously.

“I do not shame anyone that wants to have children. I just personally don’t believe that’s a priority for me in my life,” the singer shared in an interview on SiriusXM Hits 1’s “The Morning Mash Up” in 2020.
She added that she’d “never really cared that much” about motherhood or marriage, regardless of what her youthful self may’ve stated in earlier interviews.
“I am sure that my fans are going to pull up me at 12 saying, ‘Oh, I want to have kids,’ but like I don’t,” she stated, including that at her age, she now has a “a little bit more of a realistic idea of what they want.”
“That has never been kind of my priority,” she defined.
Cyrus joins a refrain of different celebrities who’ve been clear about their need to not have kids.
Seth Rogen stated throughout an look on “The Diary of a CEO” podcast in 2023 that not having kids has “definitely” allowed him to achieve success.
“There’s a whole huge thing I’m not doing, which is raising children,” he shared, including that he and his spouse are each completely on the identical web page.
“Honestly, the older we get,” the “Knocked Up” actor added, “the more happy and reaffirmed we are with our choice to not have kids.”
