Miley Cyrus on Motherhood: “It’s a Huge Responsibility, and I Don’t Need to Be a Mother”
American singer Miley Cyrus recently shared her views on parenthood, sparking a variety of reactions on social media—particularly among those who share her perspective.
In an interview with The New York Times published as part of The Interview series, Miley candidly discussed her personal life, societal pressures, and her decision not to pursue motherhood at this time.
The star emphasized that she currently has no desire to have children and does not see motherhood as something that comes naturally to her.
“I don’t need to be a mother. It’s a huge responsibility that requires incredible dedication and sacrifice. If it’s not your passion, it’s hard to imagine how you can endure all that parenthood entails—sleepless nights, constant worry, and years of sacrifice,” Cyrus explained.
Her stance received support from many social media users, especially on Reddit, where many praised her honesty and rational approach.
“One user commented, ‘It’s amazing how many people enter parenthood without any real desire or clear decision,’” the article noted.
Others highlighted that there is no shame in choosing not to have children, emphasizing that everyone has the right to decide their own path without societal expectations.
