Allison Janney discusses choice to remain unmarried and childless
Oscar-winning actress Allison Janney shared personal reflections regarding her decision to never marry or have children during an appearance on the podcast ‘Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky’.
Janney, known for her roles in ‘I, Tonya’ and ‘Mom’, explained that while she grew up believing marriage was a standard life milestone, her career and move to New York led her toward a different path. She noted that during a long-term relationship in her mid-30s, she briefly considered motherhood but ultimately realized it was not the path she desired. She expressed a sense of relief regarding these choices, noting that staying in a relationship that does not feel right can lead to profound loneliness.
