In that interview, the star also touched on her upbringing’s effect on her stance, saying, “Childhood was heartbreaking enough for anybody. I don’t know that I could handle my own child, especially if I had a girl, going through what I went through growing up. Not that it was so traumatic, but in many ways, it was in your own way.”
During that 2018 Goop Summit, Chelsea Handler emphasized that just because she doesn’t want to have kids of her own that it doesn’t mean she doesn’t like children in general.
In a 2011 CNN interview with Piers Morgan, Handler said she is “definitely” not going to have kids. She told the host, “I’m not somebody who wants to be a mother.” She went on to share, “I have a lot of children in my life from my friends and my family.
