Kelly Brook has insisted she’s ‘childless by choice’.
The 45-year-old TV star – who has been married to Jeremy Parisi since 2022 – has revealed she’s enjoying her ‘beautiful life’ without the pressure of trying to start a family after previously suffering a number of devastating miscarriages with previous partners.
‘We haven’t tried for children, we haven’t gone down the IVF route. We’ve not even looked into it and I think we are all the more happier for it to be honest,’ she said.
‘I am actually childless by choice at the moment, it’s not something that we have considered and I don’t think that should be a taboo.’
Kelly knows that parenthood can bring ‘a lot of happiness’, but she has also seen the way it adds ‘a lot of stress’ to people’s lives.
‘I’m surrounded by a lot of families with kids and I see it brings people a lot of happiness, but I also see it brings people a lot of stress,’ she told The Sun.

‘Jeremy and I love to be around family we really do but we also love to travel and do our own thing. We love our dog. It’s not like we are completely selfish, we do have pets.’
Kelly has ‘been through pregnancies and miscarriages’ in the past, and it’s made her reconsider her future plans with Jeremy.
‘I know how traumatic and devastating they are on you and on your relationship, I have been down that road with previous partners and it is a lot,’ she added.
‘I look at the beautiful life we have and how we don’t have the burden of that.’
She feels being open about her decision not to become a mum is a ‘brave thing to say as a woman’ and admitted she’s not sure if she ever really wanted to start a family but previously went along with it because it’s ‘expected’.
The loved up couple recently travelled together for BBC series Celebrity Race Across The World, and she recently revealed they both remain ‘focused’ on other priorities for the time being.

‘We have our little fur baby dog, Teddy, but I’m not sure about having children yet. At the moment we are focused on work and where we want to live in the world,’ she explained.
Kelly pointed out that deciding on such a big commitment like parenthood will be easier to do when the couple know where they will be living.
She told OK! magazine: ‘It’s very hard to think about children when you don’t know where you might be living. We need to be more settled before we think about children.’
She pointed out that her own mum – who became a mother herself at 17 years old – taught her ‘not to rush into’ the idea of having children.
