Actress Jennifer Lawrence is currently promoting a movie that explores some darker aspects of motherhood, but the 34-year-old mom of two had positive things to say about her real-life experience.
A reporter asked the cast of “Die, My Love” during a press conference at Cannes Film Festival: “Considering that ego is a big part of an actor’s career, and you’ve been in the spotlight for a long time, how did the birth of the children change your perspective on your career and about what is really important in life?” 
Lawrence jumped in with her answer, saying, “Having children changes everything. It changes your whole life. It’s brutal and incredible. Not only do they go into every decision of, if I’m working, where I’m working, when I’m working…they’ve taught me… I didn’t know that I could feel so much,” the Academy Award-winning actress replied, per <a href="https://www.vulture.com/article/jennifer-lawrence-lynne-ramsay-die-my-love-cannes-interview.html">Vulture</a>.
Lawrence continued, saying, “My job has a lot to do with emotion, and they’ve opened up the world to me. It’s almost like feeling like a blister or something. So sensitive. So they’ve changed my life, obviously, for the best, and they’ve changed me creatively.” 
“I highly recommend having kids if you want to be an actor,” she quipped.
Her co-star Robert Pattinson, who recently had his first child with actress Suki Waterhouse, also weighed in on the topic. He said, “I think in the most unexpected way, having a baby gives you the biggest trove of energy and inspiration afterwards.” 
“Die, My Love” is a psychological drama about a woman (Lawrence) living in rural Montana who grapples with postpartum depression, violent impulses, and a loss of identity following the birth of her child. Pattinson co-stars as her clueless husband while Sissy Spacek plays her mother-in-law.
Lawrence, who just gave birth to her second child earlier this year, doesn’t usually discuss her personal life. The actress was five months pregnant during filming.

Former first lady Michelle Obama opened up about her marriage to former President Barack Obama and said she is &#8220;not interested&#8221; in ever running for office. 
During her appearance on Kylie Kelce’s “Not Gonna Lie” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx9-v_cD8IY">podcast</a>, Michelle talked about being married to Barack since 1992, and said one area where they don’t agree is bedtime.
“Bedtime is the best time of the day,” <a href="https://x.com/nglwithkylie/status/1902389606999335409" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the former first lady said</a>. “My husband teases me about how early I can go to bed. He just doesn’t understand.”

Michelle reflected on getting into “some good sheets” at night when it’s “cool.&#8221; But she insisted that if they have guests, she’s “game” and will stay up later.
“I’m talking but, you know, the minute we finish up, I’m just trying not to go to bed before the sun goes down,” Michelle added before sharing that her ideal bedtime is “anytime after dinner.”
The comments came following weeks of rumors about the Obama&#8217;s marital struggles, which were fueled by Michelle’s absence alongside Barack at former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral and President Donald Trump’s second inauguration.
Later in the interview, Michelle made it clear she wants to stay as far away from politics as she can, pointing to their daughters Malia, 26, and Sasha, 23, as the main reason.
“I was so glad when we got out of the White House,” the 61-year-old said, referencing when the Obamas family left the White House in 2017. “I wanted them [her daughters] to have the freedom of not having the eyes of the world on them.”
“They still are dealing with paparazzi and being who they are and trying to carve out their own identity,” she added. “So, when people ask me, would I ever run [for office], the answer is no. If you ask me that, then you have absolutely no idea [of] the sacrifice that your kids make when your parents are in that role.”
“Not only am I not interested in politics in that way but the thought of putting my girls back into that spotlight when they are just now establishing themselves, you know, I think we’ve done enough,” Michelle continued. “Question asked and answered. Never going to happen. They’ve already served their time. … It would be unthinkable. Nope.”
Despite the comments, Michelle was involved in the 2024 election, though an insider previously shared that the former first lady “showed up reluctantly for the election,” <a href="https://pagesix.com/2025/03/19/celebrity-news/michelle-obama-reveals-point-of-contention-with-barack-after-divorce-rumors/">Page Six</a> reported.
“They were united, but she doesn’t have to unify around [Trump],” the insider said in reference to her absence from Trump&#8217;s inauguration. “She doesn’t have to say anything. Her absence speaks volumes.”

Millie Bobby Brown definitely got everyone’s attention when she talked about how she can’t wait to become a mom and start a family with husband Jake Bongiovi.
During the 21-year-old actress&#8217; appearance on the “Smartless” podcast, the “Stranger Things” star said that starting a family isn’t just important to her but to Jake as well, noting they both come from big families, <a href="https://people.com/millie-bobby-brown-says-its-so-important-to-her-to-start-a-family-with-husband-jake-bongiovi-11694191?taid=67cf4e29ccadfc0001d26c09&amp;utm_campaign=peoplemagazine&amp;utm_content=new&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com">People magazine</a> reported. Brown and Bongiovi tied the knot in May 2024.
&#8220;My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19,” Brown said. “And you know, it&#8217;s been my thing since before I met Jake. Since I was a baby, I told my mom, like, baby dolls. I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me.&#8221;
&#8220;And my nan, like my grandmother, she was a huge part of my life,” she added. “And so, yeah, I mean, Jake knows how important it is to me and, of course, I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer, but I also find it&#8217;s so important to start a family for me personally. It&#8217;s a huge thing. Jake was like, we cannot do that until we get married. So that was his thing.&#8221;
&#8220;And my thing was, I really want a family. I really want a big family,&#8221; Brown continued. &#8220;I&#8217;m one of four. He&#8217;s one of four. So, it is definitely in our future. But, for me, I don&#8217;t see having your own child, you know, as really any different as in adopting. My home is full of love for anyone and anything, and so that is what we kind of stand by, Jake and I, our energy in the house is the door is always open, and we want everyone to feel really comfortable.”
The couple started dating in 2021 and went Instagram official with their relationship in November of that year. In 2023, 19-year-old Brown announced she and 20-year-old Jake were engaged, and fans had mixed reactions.
Her Instagram post included a black and white photo showing her embracing her fiancé while she showed off her diamond engagement ring.
There were many social media users who sent congratulatory messages to Brown and defended the actress from critics.
“Shut up to all the people who [are] saying she’s too young she’s literally living the life she wants bro don’t forget that this isn’t [your] life and [you] don’t make decisions for her,” one person wrote.
“She’s technically an adult and can make her own choices,” another added. “I got engaged at 19 and was married at 19 and now almost 10 years later we’re still together, would I be okay with my kids getting married at 19? Eh probably not but still congrats to them!”
However, there were a whole host of comments from people who felt the two were way too young to be engaged, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/04/11/fans-react-to-millie-bobby-browns-engagement-to-jake-bongiovi/">Page Six</a> noted.
“Omgg too young,” one account posted.
“NO F***ING WAY,” another user added.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hollywood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hollywood</a> star Andie MacDowell opened up about leaving Hollywood for South Carolina to fill what she called the “huge void” left by becoming an empty nester.
During the 66-year-old actress’ appearance on “<a href="https://www.thedrewbarrymoreshow.com/videos/andie-macdowell-im-happier-now-than-i-have-been-in-a-long-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Drew Barrymore Show</a>,” she talked about life after her three grown children moved out of her home in Los Angeles. MacDowell became a mom when she and her ex-husband Paul Qualley welcomed a son, Justin (39), and two daughters, Rainey (35) and Margaret (30), during their marriage between 1986 and 1999.
“I’m happier now than I have been in a long time,” MacDowell said. “I moved to South Carolina. I really am taking good care of myself. It took me forever, because once my kids left, I felt this huge void in my life. Because they were so important to me.”
“Margaret really was kind of telling me I was supposed to be having the time of my life, but I wasn’t,” she added. “But now I am. I’m having the time of my life now. It’s really good.”
The “Groundhog Day” star also reassured the host that she would be there to walk her through the challenges of having an empty nest, when Barrymore’s daughters, Olive, 12, and Frankie, 10, leave the home one day.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

“I’ll tell you what not to do,” MacDowell told the host who admitted she’s scared for that day to come when they move away from home. “Come to me, because I have all the information on how not to waste your time, how to get on with it and have a good time. I’ll tell you what to do.”
The actress also opened up about being diagnosed with piriformis syndrome, described by the Cleveland Clinic as “muscle spasms compressing the sciatic nerve and causing pain and numbness,” <a href="https://pagesix.com/2025/01/24/parents/andie-macdowell-left-hollywood-for-south-carolina-over-empty-nest/">Page Six</a> noted.

“I have to work my tiny little bottom and my hips [with a personal trainer]. I do it every day,” the star said, calling working out the “miracle” that has made her not “hurt anymore.”
“I do love to work out,” she added. “That is my great fortune, because I have had friends that are frustrated because they don’t enjoy it, but I really do enjoy it.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tim-tebow">Tim Tebow</a> and his wife, former Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Tebow, definitely got everyone’s attention on Tuesday when the couple announced that they are expecting their first child.
In a joint post on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DE0HoN-phS0/">Instagram,</a> the couple posted a video of them holding hands before the former NFL QB showed off a series of ultrasound photos announcing they were going to be parents. At one point in the clip, the former beauty queen turned around and showed off her baby bump, with both of them grinning from ear to ear about their exciting news.
The post was captioned simply, “Baby Tebow,” with an announcement that their little one will be arriving this summer.
“Team Tebow is expanding! Tim Tebow and his wife Demi-Leigh are expecting their first baby together, they share with PEOPLE exclusively while expressing their joy at becoming first-time parents ahead of their public announcement on Instagram,” a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DE0Ivj_ppbi/?img_index=1">second post</a> from the former beauty pageant winner read.

“I&#8217;m so grateful because I just couldn&#8217;t imagine a better life partner to do life with first and foremost,&#8221; she added. &#8220;To be able to raise a little tiny human being together. I&#8217;m so grateful that Tim is my husband&#8230; that we get to do parenting together.&#8221;
&#8220;I feel like every time I say, &#8216;Tim&#8217;s going to be a dad!&#8217; it feels so surreal,&#8221; the former Miss Universe continued.

Tebow, a college football analyst, told the magazine that when he learned they were going to be parents, it gave him a whole new perspective on life.
&#8220;It&#8217;s just amazing how it also reprioritizes and changes what you put an emphasis on and what you value most,&#8221; the former QB said.
&#8220;News like that just supersedes the level of importance and the level of joy that you have,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It&#8217;s just so cool.&#8221;
As an outspoken pro-life advocate, Tebow previously gained a lot of attention when he shared his mom’s story at the annual March For Life event in 2021. During his speech, he talked about his mom&#8217;s trust in God and how she gave birth to him after doctors warned her against doing so and said she should get an abortion, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tim-tebow-at-march-for-life-i-now-get-to-share-my-story-because-my-mom-gave-me-a-chance">reported</a>.

Gold medalist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/simone-biles-to-return-to-competition-one-year-ahead-of-paris-olympics">Simone Biles</a> did more than hint that her time competing in the Olympics is over in a new interview and suggested she would not return for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
The 27-year-old gymnast &#8212; who was recently named <a href="https://www.si.com/sportsperson/simone-biles-sports-illustrated-2024-sportsperson-of-the-year">Sports Illustrated</a> magazine&#8217;s 2024 Sportsperson of the Year &#8212; told the outlet that she’s come to a point in her career where it would be greedy if she continued reaching for the gold in the 2028 games.
&#8220;Life and death issue,&#8221; Biles replied. &#8220;Because I’ve accomplished so much, there’s almost nothing left to do, rather than to just be snobby and to try again and for what? I’m at a point in my career where I’m humble enough to know when to be done.”
“If you go back, you’ll be greedy,” she added. “Those are the consequences. But that’s also your decision to decide. What sacrifices would be made if I go back now?”

Biles &#8212; who won four golds in the Paris Summer Olympics, adding to her total of 7 gold, 2 silver, and 2 bronze to become the most decorated American gymnast of all time &#8212; suggested she’s ready to focus on motherhood after tying the knot in 2023 to Chicago Bears football player Jonathan Owens.
“When you’re younger, it’s like, prom, college. Now it’s like, starting a family, being away from my husband. What’s really worth it?” Biles said.
“I don’t think the reality has set in of what I’ve exactly done in the sport,” she added. &#8220;I can see it, and I hear it from people, and I see a glimpse of it, but the full magnitude I don’t think I’ve realized just yet.”
“I don’t think I’ll realize ’til maybe I retire and look back in a couple years like, ‘Damn, she was good,’” the Olympic star continued. “Because I can see that, but I do it every day. So for me, it’s normal.”
Biles was the biggest name in gymnastics for years and shocked the world when she announced just after her first competition in Tokyo that she would be <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/simone-biles-out-of-gymnastics-team-final-in-tokyo">sitting out</a> the rest of the Olympic games due to mental health concerns.
In 2023, she then <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/simone-biles-to-return-to-competition-one-year-ahead-of-paris-olympics">made headlines</a> when she announced her return to elite competition one year ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics.

One of the founders of the world’s oldest and most respected <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/motherhood">breastfeeding</a> support group, La Leche League (LLL), has resigned due to the organization’s stance on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender">men</a> being able to breastfeed.
Marian Tompson, 94, sent a letter to current senior leadership expressing how the group has become “a travesty of my original intent” and is now “indulging the fantasies of adults.” LLL is headquartered in North Carolina but has a presence in more than 80 countries.
“From an organization with the specific mission of supporting biological women who want to give their babies the best start in life by breastfeeding them, LLL’s focus has subtly shifted to include men who, for whatever reason, want to have the experience of breastfeeding, despite no careful long-term research on male lactation and how that may affect the baby.”
“This shift from following the norms of nature, which is the core of mothering through breastfeeding, to indulging the fantasies of adults, is destroying our organization,” the letter continued, per <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14070057/Founder-worlds-oldest-Breastfeeding-charity-QUITS-transgender-women.html">The Daily Mail</a>. 
Tompson said despite her efforts to redirect the effort, there was “nothing” she could do. The LLL founder added that she’s open to returning if the organization “returns to its original Mission and Purpose.”

Main cited “bullying, lies, and cruelty of recent times” as the reason for her departure, per <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/uk/society/article/breastfeeding-charity-chief-quits-over-transgender-policy-zhvhl8nps">The Times</a>. 
Main said she refused to help biological men “perform a poor imitation of breastfeeding” and put babies’ lives at risk in the process. 
La Leche League was founded in 1956 with the stated purpose of helping provide mother-to-mother support and stressing the importance of breastfeeding through encouragement, information, and education. 
The official La Leche League <a href="https://llli.org/breastfeeding-info/transgender-non-binary-parents/">website</a> has a section dedicated to “transgender and nonbinary parents” that says the organization “supports everyone who wants to breastfeed or chestfeed in reaching their goals.”
“Trans men, trans women, and non-binary individuals may choose to breastfeed or chestfeed their babies. You do not need to have given birth to breastfeed or chestfeed, as we can also see in the experiences of those nursing adopted babies.”

I am one of countless women who are fighting a battle that was never meant to be ours alone. My journey began at the tender age of 17 when I brought my first child into this world without the safety net of family support. Today, I am the mother of three beautiful children, who are my heart and soul. I worked tirelessly in my twenties, juggling three jobs while attending night school to earn a bachelor’s degree. This pursuit for a better life left me with $60,000 in student debt — a shadow that looms large over my future.
Today, I gross $6,000 a month, working 15-20 hours of overtime each week. It’s an income I once idolized and aspired to during my studies, believing it was the key to making a name for myself. Yet, the harsh reality is that after taxes, $2,400 in rent, $800 in health insurance, $700 in childcare for my toddler, $400 in utilities, $250 in car insurance, and another $400 in legal fees each month — stemming from a bitter custody battle with my ex-husband — I find myself $1,900 in the red every month. I receive $400 in child support, but it barely scratches the surface of what’s needed.
I share these detailed financial numbers to underscore the stark reality that we are all confronting in this country. This isn&#8217;t just my struggle — it&#8217;s the shared plight of countless Americans burdened by an unforgiving economic system.
My car payment is an additional burden, an expensive necessity because financing a vehicle was cheaper than paying any amount in full for something I would own. I am using old food stamp money I had saved up for food when I lost my job last year, but that is dwindling and will run out in a month or so. Soon, I will have no money for food.
In the midst of these struggles, I watch in despair as politicians spend more time in political arenas fighting amongst themselves, rather than putting the needs of Americans like me at the forefront. I feel forgotten, as if my reality is not important to those who profit from the political use of the hurt that people like me endure.
I find myself ensnared in a relentless cycle, each day feeling like I am shackled in a form of modern-day slavery — laboring endlessly, knowing deep down that no matter how fiercely I fight, breaking free seems impossible. It&#8217;s as if my very essence is owned, my labor dictated, my freedom stolen by an unyielding system. This economy, this broken system, holds me captive, squeezing every ounce of strength from my soul as I desperately struggle to break free from the chains of my invisible master.
<h4><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!</a></h4>
I write this not only as a call for change, but out of personal desperation. I hope that by voicing my struggles, I can somehow make sense of the daily battles I face, and in doing so, find a way to make them more bearable. Each word is a plea, a testament to the resilience I must muster every day, yearning for a glimmer of hope amidst the overwhelming darkness.
I am exhausted — mentally, physically, and emotionally. It feels as though all my energy is spent on mere survival and my relationship with my children suffers because of it. My health is deteriorating, and I can’t afford the copay to seek help. I make too much to qualify for state assistance, but not enough to survive.
In desperation, I&#8217;ve resorted to taking out small credit cards with excruciating interest rates, just to afford basic necessities. Yet, even these lifelines slip from my grasp as I let payments lapse, unable to keep up with the relentless financial demands. Each month, I sink deeper into a quicksand of debt, watching helplessly as it pulls me further under.
Every day, I send out numerous job applications, hoping to break through the algorithmic barriers that online hiring processes have erected. In a desperate bid to gain an edge, I pay for subscriptions to job board websites, yet the opportunities seem scarce in a sea where everyone is striving for the same lifeline. It&#8217;s a bitter pill to swallow knowing my teenage son has more in his savings than I do, and I wrestle with the urge to borrow from him just to afford basic necessities like laundry detergent.
I see women my age turning to platforms like OnlyFans, tempted by the possibility of financial relief. I hold onto my faith, my dignity, and my love for my children as a shield against that reality. Yet, the temptation lurks as bills pile up and my credit score plummets. Emails from creditors with &#8220;Payment Declined&#8221; messages haunt my inbox. My bank account teeters at $3, and payday is a mere cycle of temporary relief before the next wave of bills crashes in.
Each month, I face the agonizing decision of which bills to pay and which to defer, forced to prioritize their importance to my family&#8217;s immediate well-being. This constant juggling act leaves me perpetually behind, always scrambling to catch up, yet never quite able to break free. It&#8217;s a relentless cycle that chips away at my resolve, leaving me feeling defeated and powerless.
I ask you: How can it be that earning $60,000 to $70,000 a year leaves me scrapping for survival? Why are hardworking people like me stuck in a system that seems to reward the few at the expense of the many?
Each day, the dream of owning my own home slips further away. With every missed payment, my credit score plummets, and any chance of building savings evaporates. The soaring prices of homes stretch far beyond my reach, transforming the American Dream into a distant mirage that taunts me from the horizon.
My heart aches as I watch illegal immigrants walk into this country and receive more support than I do. I cry in solitude, locked in my bathroom, journaling and praying for change. This is not just my story, but the story of many women in America who are slowly being crushed under the weight of an unyielding system.
I am choosing to vote for Donald Trump because I yearn for a life where my hard work truly counts, where I can live on my own terms without depending on government handouts just to survive in a system that those in power have broken. I implore those who share my struggles to make the same choice, recognizing that more government band-aids will only lead to restricted freedoms and make it increasingly difficult to get ahead. We need to reclaim our autonomy and ensure our labor reaps the rewards it deserves.
I&#8217;m not seeking handouts or &#8220;free government money&#8221; — I&#8217;m demanding real, substantial change. I vote conservative because I believe in a future where dedication and determination pave the way to personal success and dignity. We need policies that uplift working mothers, honor our contributions, and empower us to provide for our children without sacrificing our health and well-being.
This is a plea for action, for reform, and for a future where we are not punished for striving for better. America, the land of opportunity, must become a reality, not just a dream. Change is not a luxury; it is a necessity for mothers, for families, and for Americans like me.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/selena-gomez">Selena Gomez</a> has revealed that she will never be able to carry her own children due to several medical issues, but she also said that adoption or surrogacy are definite options for her.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/story/selena-gomez-cover-interview">Vanity Fair</a>, the 32-year-old actress opened up about her desire to be a mother but admitted her path “will look a little different” after being diagnosed with the auto-immune disease Lupus in 2015 followed by bipolar disorder in 2020.
“I haven’t ever said this &#8230; but I unfortunately can’t carry my own children,” Gomez said. “I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for a while…”
“[But] I’m in a much better place with that,” she added. “I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me.”

“It made me really thankful for the other outlets for people who are dying to be moms,” Gomez continued. “I’m one of those people. I’m excited for what that journey will look like, but it’ll look a little different. At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby.”
The “Only Murders In The Building” star previously talked about her dreams of being a mother and admitted that taking the bipolar medications she was on most likely meant she wouldn’t be able to carry children, though she hesitated to go as far as what she said to VF.
The “Wizards of Waverly Place” star also opened up about her relationship with ​​boyfriend Benny Blanco, who she’s confirmed dating since December 2023, <a href="https://people.com/selena-gomez-had-to-grieve-being-unable-to-carry-her-own-children-8708377?utm_campaign=people&amp;utm_content=likeshop&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=instagram">People magazine</a> noted.

“I started having a lot of fun with music and then touring was really fun,” the pop singer said. “But I was doing my TV show [‘Wizards of Waverly Place’] at the same time, and I just found it really fun, so I just kept going.”
“But the older I get, the more I’m kind of like, ‘I would like to find something to just settle on,” she added. “I do feel like I have one more album in me, but I would probably choose acting. I am gonna wanna chill because I’m tired.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jojo-siwa">JoJo Siwa</a> is facing backlash for sharing her plans to have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/children">children</a> via three different surrogates.
The 21-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">singer</a> discussed her plan during a video interview for Cosmopolitan&#8217;s &#8220;If It Were Me&#8221; series.
“Because I&#8217;m gay as s*** and I have to plan a pregnancy much different than a straight person, I actually want to take three eggs, fertilize three eggs, and have three surrogates,&#8221; Siwa said.
&#8220;So technically, they&#8217;ll all be the same batch, but they would all be born separately. I’m gonna have my surrogates, my babies, then maybe their birthdays will land on different days, and they can be like triplets, but like, not.”
Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh posted his reaction to the clip, writing, “‘The same batch,’ she says of her own future children. At this point we need to treat people who use surrogates with the same contempt and disgust we heap on human traffickers. Because they are human traffickers.”

In March, the “Karma” singer talked about having her future children’s names tattooed on her arm. “I actually have two tattoos dedicated to them. This one’s dedicated to my baby girl one day, her name is Freddie,” the YouTube star said, indicating one of her arm tattoos. “Then this is dedicated to twin boys. Eddie and Teddie. Freddie, Eddie and Teddie.”
“I want three babies. I’ve got a sperm donor lined up,” she added, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jojo-siwa-got-future-childrens-names-tattooed-on-her-arm-got-a-sperm-donor-lined-up">reported</a>.
Siwa has been talking about motherhood for a while. In 2023, the former “Dance Moms” star said that she eventually wants to &#8220;retire and have babies&#8221; after achieving her life goal of performing at the Super Bowl halftime show.
“On the personal side of my life, since I was 12, I cannot wait to be a mom.

&#8220;I feel like I&#8217;ll have kids pretty early — but obviously, me having kids is a lot bigger process,&#8221; Siwa continued.

JoJo Siwa Slammed After Sharing Plans To Have Triplets Via Three Surrogates

Daily Wire host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/brett-cooper" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brett Cooper</a> opened up about marriage, motherhood, and the “quiet revolution of young women” against feminism in 2024.
Speaking to Chris Williamson on his “Modern Wisdom” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v39se0OQyIs">podcast</a>, the 22-year-old host of “The Comments Section” opened up about her decision to get married in March despite being told by people on the Right that it wasn&#8217;t a wise choice. 
“It&#8217;s been wonderful,” Cooper said. “I have always known I wanted to be married. I&#8217;ve always known that I wanted to be a mother. I had a career in Hollywood, I was a child actor for 10 plus years.”
“And I remember I had a conversation with my best friend of the time, we were walking through Burbank. And I brought up a concern that I had had basically since I started in this industry and started working with adults…I got to see how they were operating, how they balanced their career and family and marriage, and I did not like what I saw,” Cooper continued.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="The Quiet Revolution Against Modern Feminism - Brett Cooper (4K)" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/v39se0OQyIs?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
“So, yes it is pretty radical, but even in this industry of being in media, being more on the Right, I still heard it. Still heard it from conservatives, like ‘you&#8217;re on the up and up, are you sure you want to do that?’ from people that are pro-family and pro-marriage,” the DW host added. 
Later, Cooper talked about how Gen Z feels about motherhood and she pointed out a recent study that found “over half of women do believe that motherhood is just as or more important than a career…these are not conservatives. These are just normal women.”
“They don&#8217;t want to brand themselves as conservatives, they want to get married,” she added. “They believe that hookup culture is bad and they believe motherhood is important. And so I think deep down, because these are biological instincts, I do believe that women have those urges and want that…there are more women than people think that are waking up.”
The DW host explained, “There have been an influx of women just on my social media alone speaking out about cultural issues, social issues, political issues, talking about voting for [former President Donald] Trump.”
“These are not political accounts, these are random influencers just girls on their you know private personal social medias talking about the things that Biden is doing in regards to Title IX, the transgender issue,” Cooper said.
“That they have been completely woken up realizing, ‘oh I don&#8217;t actually want this anymore,’” she added. “Mix that in with the women that are in their 30s, they get made fun of constantly on X for crying in their car about the fact that they can&#8217;t meet a guy because they prioritize their career over dating.”
Williamson then asked Brett if she thought we were “seeing a kind of quiet revolution of young women beginning to see the importance of motherhood,” and she said yes.
Cooper agreed that the “push back against casual sex, against hookup culture” is somewhat tied in with a “conservative movement,” as Williamson mentioned.
“I think that there is a lot of overlap, but I don&#8217;t think that this is a lot of women suddenly being like, ‘you know I&#8217;m conservative’… that&#8217;s not what it is. It&#8217;s women being intelligent and having self awareness and looking at the world around them and going, ‘this doesn&#8217;t sit right,’” the DW host said. 
“I think that… in general, women are looking around going ‘oh my gosh, what we&#8217;ve been told and fed for the last 20-30 years, none of this makes sense. We need to take a step back and reevaluate and think we&#8217;re seeing this in real time,” she added.

Brett Cooper Talks Marriage, Motherhood, And Feminism In 2024

Daily Wire

Feminism

Celebrities are no strangers to wanting to have a family and kids, but just like the rest of us, the path to having children can look different for everyone. 
As we look forward to the July 4th weekend release of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dailywire-strikes-deal-with-angel-studios-for-sound-of-hope-get-showtimes-now">Sound of Hope</a>,” we want to celebrate adoption — from the perspectives of those who were adopted and those who chose to adopt. 
“Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot” tells the true story of how 77 children found homes after being adopted out of the foster care system in East Texas by 22 families. DailyWire+ and Angel Studios announced earlier this month that they have entered into a partnership to release the Peacetree Productions’ film. 
<a href="https://www.angel.com/tickets/sound-of-hope-the-story-of-possum-trot?utm_source=The+Daily+Wire&amp;utm_medium=partner&amp;utm_campaign=dailywire&amp;utm_content=dailywire&amp;codes=DAILYWIRE&amp;oid=35&amp;_ef_transaction_id=dee764931a7745c491a7dab741acd5df&amp;promo=dailywire">GET SHOWTIMES HERE FOR ‘SOUND OF HOPE’</a>
For these five celebrities, their families became a reality thanks to adoption and each one has said that it was the best thing they ever did.
Sheryl Crow
Superstar singer Sheryl Crow found her way to motherhood after deciding to adopt not one but two sons, one in 2007 and another in 2010.
Speaking on the “<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sheryl-crow-getting-to-the-other-side/id1585499926?i=1000539607246">Making Space with Hoda Kotb</a>” podcast in 2021, the 62-year-old singer said she &#8220;just never didn&#8217;t think I would have kids.” She admitted her dream of being a mom didn’t include adoption until her mom threw her a &#8220;life raft&#8221; and told her she could be one even if she wasn’t married.
&#8220;You have a family around you who will stand at the altar with you at baptism and say, &#8216;We are his community, or her community,’” Crow said of the conversation she had with her mom.
&#8220;The story I was telling myself limited what I thought I could have, until somebody stepped in and said, &#8216;Wait a minute, your story doesn&#8217;t have to look like your mom and dad&#8217;s story,'&#8221; she added. &#8220;Families look like all different things.&#8221;
Kirk Cameron
“Growing Pains” and “Lifemark” star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kirk-cameron">Kirk Cameron</a> is one of the most vocal stars about the power of adoption. The 53-year-old actor and his wife Chelsea Noble not only adopted the first four of their six kids, but also credits adoption with bringing him his wife, who was also adopted by her parents.
During an interview in 2022 with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kirk-cameron-talks-lifemark-movie-that-proves-why-life-should-be-defended-at-all-costs">The Daily Wire</a>, Cameron told us he and his wife wanted to have kids and thought it was a “beautiful way to have a family.”
Cameron told The Daily Wire that his wife and four children “were one doctor appointment away from not being here.” 
“The adoption option, I think, is such a loving, beautiful place, and I&#8217;ve experienced the result of that choice myself,” the actor told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/kirk-cameron-shares-message-faith-film-about-beauty-of-adoption-talks-growing-pains-reboot">Fox News</a> previously. “Like I said, with our four kids, my wife is adopted, and if my wife had not been adopted, we likely would not have our two natural-born children either.&#8221; 
“I think it&#8217;s incredible that God brings families together in all kinds of ways,” he added. “And I&#8217;m just so thankful for those ladies out there who make the loving choice of adoption.&#8221;
Steven Curtis Chapman
Christian superstar Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife Mary Beth discovered adoption as a way to grow their family after Mary Beth and their daughter Emily traveled to Haiti and met a young girl age 11, according to the website of their <a href="https://showhope.org/about-us/founders-story/">non-profit</a> Show Hope.
Learning about the orphaned girl’s needs and after praying for guidance, the Chapmans knew that adoption was what they needed to do.
So, the couple set out not once but three times to adopt kids who could use a loving home and over the next few years grew their family after adopting Shaohannah Hope, Stevey Joy, and Maria.
It was this experience that inspired them to create Show Hope, a non-profit organization in Tennessee in 2003 for those families who had the heart but not the means to adopt a child.
“Show Hope exists to care for orphans by engaging the Church and reducing barriers to adoption,” a message on their organization&#8217;s website read. Through the group’s Adoption Aid, “Show Hope has impacted more than 8,600 children from more than 60 countries, including the U.S., by awarding financial grants to families who are on the adoption journey.”
Michelle Pfeiffer
Actress Michelle Pfeiffer was still searching for the love of her life when she decided to adopt her newborn daughter. Later that year, she met the man who would become her husband, TV producer David Kelley. Less than a year later, the couple welcomed a son.
Speaking to <a href="https://people.com/all-about-michelle-pfeiffer-kids-7569445#:~:text=%E2%80%9CThe%20adoption%20process%20was%20already,people%20don't%20have%20that.">Good Housekeeping in 2007</a>, Pfeiffer said the “adoption process was already in motion when he and I met.”
“So when she came, he and I had only been together for about two months. So we had this child with us right away, and most people don&#8217;t have that. But I really got to see him in a situation that certainly would separate the boys from the men,” the actress said. “Obviously, he really rose to the occasion.”
In an interview for the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/celebrities-adopted-kids-2018-3#nia-vardalos-and-her-then-husband-adopted-their-daughter-after-fertility-issues-22">Independent in 2007</a>,  the “Scarface” star said, &#8220;As mother of both an adopted child and my own birth-child, there is absolutely no difference in the huge amount of love I feel for both my children. I always knew I wanted to adopt a child and also have one of my own. There is no difference at all.”
Sandra Bullock
Superstar actress Sandra Bullock found her family through adoption amid her divorce from husband Jesse James after five years of marriage.
The 59-year-old actress adopted her son when he was just a newborn and five years later adopted her daughter who was three and had been run through the foster care system, “Today” <a href="https://www.today.com/parents/moms/sandra-bullock-people-consider-adoption-rcna8046" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
During an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvbps0QY6UI&amp;t=8s">interview</a> in 2021, Bullock was talking about her movie “The Unforgivable” and reflected on how adoption changed her life.
“If it wasn’t for adoption and foster care, I wouldn’t have my family, so this film really struck a chord in that there are millions upon millions of babies and children on this planet that have no one to love,” Bullock explained at the time.
&#8220;They have no one to let them know they are the most amazing thing when they walk in a room,&#8221; she added.“There are millions upon millions of adults that wish they could be a parent.”
“Love is love,” Bullock continued. “And if we stop defining that narrative, it’s just one avenue, the amazing impact would be love and families. And health and mental health and beyond.”
