Jenifer Lewis, the legendary actress known for her vibrant personality and candid storytelling, recently opened up about why she never walked down the aisle despite being engaged four times.
In an interview with the Hollywood Unlocked podcast, Lewis explained that each of her former fiancés ultimately wasn’t the right match for her.
“I never walked down the aisle because it turned out they were just little boys,” Lewis said. “One was a mama’s boy, the other one turned mean. No, he wasn’t abusive, just negative.”
Lewis, who has built a career on confidence and resilience, shared a story that highlighted how negativity played a role in her decision to remain unmarried. Recalling a moment with one of her ex-fiancés, she described driving in their luxury car when she excitedly pointed out a rare pink-blooming Australian tree. His response? “You say that about every tree.”
That moment was enough for Lewis to realize he had to go.
“Well, n*a, you gotta go. What the fk is wrong with you?” she quipped, declaring her commitment to living joyfully and embracing life’s beauty.
Throughout the conversation, Lewis reflected on her personal journey, including her struggles and triumphs.
“When you spend 33 years under the covers in a dark room, you don’t f**k around when you get free,” she said. “You live. Oh, God, you live.”
Lewis’ perspective on love and self-worth has long resonated with fans.
Whether on-screen or off, she remains unapologetically herself, proving that true happiness comes from living authentically.
