Charli XCX is shedding light on her decision to potentially give up motherhood as she opens up about her upbringing as an only child.
“I don’t have siblings. I actually think not having siblings means you miss out on a lot of conflict, and I mean actually in a bad way. I think my friends who have siblings are much better at conflict because they don’t amplify it into this big dramatic thing,” Charli said, “On Monday, February 33 without any kind of airing.” 2. “They are able to move much faster than I can because they know how to spread it.”
The brat artist He went on to note that “the only people you really have to fight with are your parents, who are this authority figure in a way.”
“The shock feels a lot more drastic. There’s no brother to, kind of, just spread it out a little bit and make it less important. So it feels really giant,” he explained.
1975’s Charli XCX and George Daniel went from musical collaborators to a Hollywood love story. The duo met when they worked together on the song “Spinning” in March 2021. Daniel also assisted the “Boom Clap” singer on several songs from her album Crash, which was released in March 2022. Soon after, dating rumors surfaced and (…)
When cohost Jason Bateman Asked if this meant she would like to have “more than one child” in the future, Charli replied: “I don’t really want to have children.”
Charli admitted that her feelings about not having children “could change”.
“I love the fantasy of having a kid. Like, naming it sounds so fun. But I’m like, that’s exactly a sign for me why I shouldn’t have one,” she shared. “The fact that this looks like the most beautiful part of it, I’m like, ‘Maybe I’m not ready.’
As Bateman, 57, continued to point out that The Moment star “I might find someone” who might change her mind about having kids, Charli chimed in, adding: “Well, I’m married, then.” Bateman joked, “I have to read a newspaper one of these days… Well, maybe, your next husband will want children.”
Charli XCX thinks of Matty Healy as a brother, and as anyone with siblings can tell you, that means their relationship is full of love and sometimes frustration.

Charlie initially crossed with The 1975‘s Jordi Daniel as we work together on the March 2021 song “Spinning”. After sparking dating rumours, Charli went public with her relationship with Daniel in May of that year.
Charli quietly married Daniel in July 2025. In pictures shared at the time, Charli stunned in a white off-the-shoulder dress. The couple said “I do” again in September 2025 at Tonnara Di Scopello in the village of Scopello, Sicily, for Just Jared. Charli and Daniel walked down the hall to Enrique Iglesias “Hero,” featuring the groom in a custom suit created by Carter Young.
A year before they exchanged vows, Charli was candid about her thoughts on having children. While he remembers songwriting collaborator Noonie Bao Having recently had a child, Charli recalled Rolling Stone UK in 2024, “It was crazy to see her in the same clothes she’s always worn, but now she has this completely different perspective on life than I do. She’s not forcing that on me; it’s just a fact. She’s not alive for the same reasons I am now.”
While Charli might not “want to settle for centuries of indoctrination,” she also wondered about the social implications of having a child.
Miley Cyrus, Ashley Judd and more celebrities are adamant about not wanting to have children. “We’re being handed a shitty planet, and I refuse to pass that on to my son,” Cyrus told Elle in July 2019. “Until I feel like my son is living in a land with fish in the water, I’m not (…)
“Am I less of a woman if I don’t have a child? Will I feel like I’ve lost my purpose in life? I know we shouldn’t say it, but it’s that biological and social programming,” she explained. “There’s a lot of pressure on women not to be super open about these things, especially not in pop music or music in general; we’re supposed to be sexy and free and fun and wild.”
Charli went on to point out that if she had a child, she would have to plan because of her career.
“My circumstance involves me making a decision and saying, ‘I’m going to get off my birth control.’ I’m not going on tour. I’m going to see what George wants to do and then we’ll try to have a baby,” she said. “I feel like a boy; I don’t think I can make that decision.”
However, Charli noted that she knows she “will have to make the decision, because we have a clock.”
