American actress Megan Mullally, best known for her role in the series “Will & Grace,” recently shared insights into her and her husband Nick Offerman’s decision not to have children. In a candid discussion on the “Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald” podcast, Mullally, 65, explained that neither she nor Offerman, 53, ever felt a strong urge to become parents. The couple met in 2000 and have been married since 2003.
Mullally described the decision as “the last taboo” for her generation, noting that her mother had always hoped for a large family and would have been delighted if she had a child. Despite this, Mullally emphasized the practical and financial challenges of parenthood. She highlighted how financial constraints can lead to resentment if individuals cannot pursue their own lives and creative endeavors.
Although Mullally and Offerman did contemplate starting a family, they eventually accepted that it was not meant to be. Mullally mentioned meeting Offerman when she was 41 and he was 30, which she acknowledged as being somewhat late for starting a family. Despite their efforts to conceive naturally, they were unsuccessful. “It just wasn’t meant for us,” Mullally reflected.
Mullally assured listeners that Offerman has never been upset about not having children. The couple’s relationship has been marked by mutual support and understanding, with both thriving in their respective careers. Their professional paths have also intersected multiple times, notably in “Parks and Recreation” and “Will & Grace,” to the delight of fans and critics alike.
Throughout their marriage, Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman have demonstrated a strong and supportive partnership, focusing on their individual and shared creative projects. Their decision not to have children is just one aspect of their relationship, underscoring the importance of personal choice and mutual respect in their lives together.
