Kelly Brook, the 45-year-old actress and model, recently opened up about her deeply emotional journey through “traumatic and devastating” miscarriages. In an interview with The Sun on Sunday, Brook reflected on the challenges she faced in her previous relationships and how those experiences have shaped her perspective on motherhood and life.
Brook, who married French-Italian model and actor Jeremy Parisi in August 2021, described her current life with him as a source of immense happiness. “I feel really blessed to have someone like him as a partner,” she said, adding that they are not currently focused on the pressure of having children.
The actress shared candidly about the emotional toll of undergoing IVF treatments and experiencing pregnancy loss in the past. “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,” she explained.
Reflecting on her past struggles, she added, “I have been through pregnancies and miscarriages, and 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.”
While Brook acknowledged the challenges and heartbreak of her past, she also expressed a desire to one day experience the joy that children can bring to a home. “I want to know the happiness they bring, but I also recognize the stress and challenges that come with it,” she said.
Her honest discussion about her decision to prioritize her well-being and relationship resonates as a powerful reminder that choosing not to have children—or waiting—is a deeply personal decision that should be free from societal judgment.
Brook and Parisi’s love story continues to inspire, as they embrace their life together without the pressures of societal expectations. By sharing her experiences, Brook sheds light on the importance of breaking taboos around topics like miscarriage, IVF, and choosing to be child-free.
