4 Child-free Filipina Celebrities Explain Why They Don’t Want Kids

Heart Evangelista

Filipinos know Heart Evangelista as a fashion icon and an actress. Even with her successful career, netizens continue to bash her for not having kids with her husband, Sen. Chiz Escudero. The actress actively talks about how women should decide for their bodies in social media and interviews. In 2022, a netizen told her in a now-deleted tweet that her body is a waste because she can’t get pregnant. She tweeted, “Stop telling me to get pregnant unless you really want to hurt me… nobody knows the real struggle.” Tell ‘em, queen!

Nadine Lustre

Nadine Lustre is well-loved in the Philippines for her iconic roles and the JaDine love team with James Reid. Still, she has never escaped pregnancy rumors, even after saying that she has no plans of having kids. In her interview with Bea Alonzo last April, she expressed her fear of getting pregnant and giving birth. If she ever plans to have kids, she wants to adopt abandoned kids that need love and care.  To that, we raise our two thumbs up!

Maggie Wilson

Maggie Wilson shared in her Instagram why she doesn’t want to have a second child soon. Additionally, she said that she doesn’t want to have another child until issues are settled, and there is peace. She added, “I refuse to put my son through more trauma… I will wait, no matter how long it takes; even if it means that I will not be able to have another child, then so be it.”

Megan Young

Ms. Earth 2013 Megan Young and her actor husband, Mikael Daez, just want to go with the flow in their married life. In one of their podcast episodes, they addressed the topic of having kids where Megan said, “My answer to those questions would be, if we have kids, then we have kids. If we don’t, we don’t. If I get pregnant, okay, and if not, then we just continue living life.” She also shared her fear of health issues if she gets pregnant.
