Seth Rogen is a well-known personality in the entertainment industry. Having won audiences’ hearts with his acting, comedy, and filmmaking skills, he often garnered attention for his opinions. As for his love life, it has long been sorted after meeting his now-wife, Lauren Miller, when they were working on Da Ali G Show. After dating for a few years, they exchanged vows in 2011. While the duo continue to enjoy their company, they have openly expressed their opinions on not having children.
Seth Rogen Expressed His Thoughts on Not Having Kids
While for some, parenthood is a major step in a couple’s life that upgrades their happiness to the next level, Seth Rogen and his wife, Lauren Miller think otherwise. In a 2021 appearance on The Howard Stern Show, the 39-year-old actor shared how his wife and him have mutually agreed on their decision to not have kids. He claimed that having children might hold him in many things.
He told Stern,
“I wouldn’t be able to do all this work that I like. People are always like — it’s something I think I was uncomfortable answering this before — but they were like, ‘How do you do so much?’ It’s that I don’t have kids … I have nothing else to do.”
Seth Rogen added that his wife is also on a similar page with him.
“She’s okay. She doesn’t want kids. I would say she wants kids less than I do. I could probably be talked into it. She’s like, no.'”
He mentioned how their lack of desire for parenthood has given them much happiness as they don’t have to hold themselves back.
“We have so much fun. I don’t know anyone who gets as much happiness out of their kids as we get out of our non-kids. Like, we’re f–king psyched all the time. We’re laying in bed on Saturday mornings smoking weed, watching movies n-ked. If we had kids, we could not be f–king doing this.”
Having been married for over a decade now, the couple is more open about their decisions on parenthood, which he admitted, having difficulty discussing in the past.
