R&B Singer Mýa Explains Choice Against Marriage, Children

Mýa, the Grammy-winning R&B singer, recently shared in a podcast interview that marriage and children were never her focus, influenced by her parents' divorce and her father's infidelity. She expressed that societal expectations about marriage and family do not define happiness, emphasizing her independence and commitment to her career and personal growth. Mýa described her fear of traditional wedding imagery from childhood and how her demanding work schedule makes it challenging to maintain a conventional family life. Despite not actively seeking romance, she remains open to possibilities in the future and finds love in various forms, including her relationships with godchildren and nieces. In 2020, she symbolically married herself as an act of self-love and healing from a past toxic relationship. Fans have praised her honesty and peaceful approach to defying societal norms around marriage and motherhood.
