Actress Vivica A. Fox has opened up about not having children.
In a recent Q&A session, she was asked whether she would consider adopting children.
And she had the perfect response:
“Girl, I’m 57,” she says. “I’ve got six Godbabies. Don’t think that because I didn’t birth children that I don’t have children. I have six Godchildren. I do not feel less fulfilled as a woman—period.”
She added: “I love children. Please do not get me wrong I absolutely love children. In my life, it was career or children, and I have never met the man that I can have children with. I didn’t. Almost made that mistake, and three months before my family was like, ‘You will not! You absolutely will not!’ and lost a whole bunch of money and deposits and this, that and the third, but I trust my family,” she said.
Fox was once engaged to Atlanta club promoter Omar “Slim” White. The engagement was called off in 2011.
“My family was like ‘Uh-uh. Naw. And this one here you gonna have to deal with for 18 more years? Hell to the naw. No ma’am. No ma’am, you not gon’ do that.'”
The multi-hyphenate was also was married to singer Christopher Harvest from 1998–2002. Her most high-profile romance (and perhaps most significant) was with rapper and television mogul 50 Cent in 2003.
This year, during an interview with VladTV, she revealed that 50 Cent is the “love of her life.”
“The love that I had for him, and still to this day, will always—he was the love of my life. I will admit that without any reservations. He will always have a special place in my heart,” she said.
