Mýa Reaffirms She Never Sought Marriage or Children in Candid Podcast Interview

She says years of constant touring made traditional family plans incompatible with her priorities.

Overview

  • Speaking on Melyssa Ford’s Hot & Bothered podcast, the 45-year-old singer said marriage and motherhood have never been her focus.
  • She linked her outlook to what she witnessed growing up, including her parents’ divorce and her father’s infidelity, which left her wary of the “white wedding dress.”
  • Mýa noted that her career keeps her on the road as much as 95% of the time, making it hard to show up fully for a partner and potentially intimidating to others.
  • She described herself as content and not seeking, saying love arrives in “divine time” and that her life already holds love in many forms.
  • As context, she held a symbolic self-wedding in 2020 that she frames as self-care, and past choices like a seven-year celibacy period and veganism reflect her emphasis on autonomy.
