Paola Iezzi Says She Chose Not to Have Children to Keep Making Music

She calls it a conscious choice to preserve her music career, offering solidarity to couples facing infertility.

Overview

  • Speaking on Gianluca Gazzoli’s BSMT podcast, Iezzi said motherhood would have meant stopping music and that giving up her work would have been too painful.
  • She added that she would have “donated” the ability to have children to someone who cannot, noting how difficult the experience can be for many couples.
  • Iezzi recounted that a former boyfriend urged her to quit music to start a family, which she described as feeling like “a kind of prison.”
  • Her remarks coincide with the X Factor 2025 finale in Naples, where she is closing her second straight season as a judge alongside Achille Lauro, Jake La Furia and Francesco Gabbani.
  • Recent career updates include the single and video Superstar and the announcement of her Iezz We Can!!! live show on January 31 at Milan’s RedRoom Members Club, as well as a recalled late-1990s invitation from Robbie Williams that she declined.
