11 Celebrities On Not Having Children

The Sex and the City star has said that "being a biological mother isn't going to be part of my experience this time around".

"When I was five, my fantasy was to have a hundred dogs and a hundred kids. I realised that so much of the pressure I was feeling was from outside sources, and I knew I wasn't ready to take that step into motherhood," she told Oprah magazine.

"Being a biological mother just isn't part of my experience this time around."

More recently, the actress said that starring in Sex and the City affected her fertility, telling Piers Morgan's Life Stories: "I thought to myself, ‘Wow I have 19-hour days on this series’.

"I have weekends where I finish on Saturday morning. My Monday morning would start at 4.45am and go to one or two in the morning.

"How could I possible continue to do that, especially in my early 40s? And then I realised what a commitment it was just to the [IVF] procedures.

Married at that point to Mark Levinson, she added: "I thought ‘I don’t think this is going to happen’. It was the first moment, it was extraordinary, in my life where I thought maybe I’m just not going to do this.”
