Tracee Ellis Ross Says “Society Spoon-Feeds” People To Get Married, Have Kids

Tracee Ellis Ross doesn’t like the fact society puts pressure on people to get married and have kids.

In an interview with Marie Clare, the 48-year-old actress opened about the societal pressures put on women to get married and start a family, PEOPLE reported.

When Ross, who isn’t married and has no kids, was asked if she ever dreamed about having a bigger family, she answered, “Well, how could you not?”

“Our society spoon-feeds it to you,” the Black-ish star said. “I used to put myself to sleep dreaming of my wedding.”

Added Ross: “And I would still love all of that, but what am I going to do, just sit around waiting? Shut up. I’ve got so many things to do.”

This isn’t the first time Ross made these types of statements. In a May 2020 issue of Porter, she said, “I wish I had known there were other choices, not just about how I could be living, but how I could feel about the way my life was,” Ross told the publication. “I was raised by society to dream of my wedding, but I wish I had been dreaming of my life.”

“There are so many ways to curate happiness, find love and create a family, and we don’t talk about them,” she continued. “It creates so much shame and judgment.”

“People misinterpret being happily single as not wanting to be in a relationship. Of course, I want to be in a relationship, but what am I going to do? Spend all the time that I’m not [in one] moping around?” Ross argued. “No. I’m going to live my life to the fullest, and I’m going to be happy right here, where I am.”
