Jennifer Coolidge says she never had kids because she is 'very immature': 'I would've had to have grown up'

Jennifer Coolidge candidly revealed the reason why she never had children. 

The 61-year-old actress reflected on her choice not to become a mother in a cover interview with British GQ. Coolidge told that outlet that her friends suggested that she adopt children, but she thinks she would be more suited to becoming a stepmother.

"I’m very, very immature," the "Legally Blonde" star said. "I think that has kept me from having children, because I’m sort of a child. Maybe if I had kids, I would’ve had to have grown up.

Coolidge told the outlet she believes that her pattern of dating intense men was also a factor.

"I’ve never had, like, a laid-back boyfriend that was just full of joy, you know?" Coolidge said. "Like, someone who laughs at all your shortcomings. That’s never who I choose for myself."

Coolidge is in the midst of a career renaissance following the success of her HBO series "The White Lotus." The actress, who played heiress Tanya McQuoid.in two seasons of the hit show, earned an Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award and two Tony Awards for her performance.

The "2 Broke Girls" alum, who owns a home in New Orleans, said she is spending more time in Los Angeles amid her career resurgence. However, she told GQ she is not really enjoying her life in the City of Angels.

"I’m bored here," Coolidge admitted. 

"I think I’d appreciate it more if I had kids or something," she added.

Coolidge also revealed that she lived with Eddie Kaye Thomas, who co-starred with her in the "American Pie" movies, for a year or two in the early 2000s. 

The "Best in Show" actress played the seductive mother of high school jock Steve Stifler (Seann William Scott), who takes the virginity of her son's friend Paul Finch (Thomas) on a pool table in the first film. 

However, Coolidge told GQ that her relationship with Thomas was platonic while they were roommates.

"I wasn’t the love of his life," she said with a laugh. "He had girlfriends. My bedroom was across the hallway from his."

With regard to her future projects, Coolidge said that she is most excited about the opportunity to meet new people.

Coolidge said. "My way of talking myself into a different job is like, well, it could be romance, or it could be, you know, a whole different group of friends. Cool things could come out of it."

KRISTIN DAVIS SLAMS ‘MISOGYNIST CHATTER’ ABOUT AGING, HER APPEARANCE: ‘I FEEL ANGRY’

The Colorado native rose to fame playing Charlotte York Goldenblatt on the hit HBO series for six seasons from 1998 to 2004. She reprised her role in the 2008 movie "Sex and the City 2" and its 2010 sequel "Sex and the City 2."

Davis and her co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon returned to the franchise for the 2021 sequel series "And Just Like That…" Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha Jones in the original series and the movies, opted not to join the show for its first season due to a feud with Parker. 

However HBO Max recently confirmed that Cattrall will make a cameo appearance in the finale of the second season, which will premiere later this month.

In her interview with the Telegraph, Davis said that she and her castmates were mocked online over their aged appearances and also criticized for trying to look younger.

‘It’s hard to be confronted with your younger self at all times," Davis explained. "And it’s a challenge to remember that you don’t have to look like that. The internet wants you to – but they also don’t want you to. They’re very conflicted…"

The "Couples Retreat" star told the outlet that she no longer cares as much about negative remarks from social media users.

"It’s whatever," Davis said. "I can’t keep it up. I don’t have time. You’re trusting doctors [but] people personally blame us when it goes wrong – [as if] I jabbed a needle in my face…"

Davis clarified that she was specifically referring to cosmetic work that she had done to her lips.

"No one told me it didn’t look good for the longest time," Davis said.

She continued, "But luckily I do have good friends who did say eventually. The thing is you don’t smile at yourself in the mirror. Who smiles at themselves in the mirror? Crazy people."

This is not the first time that Davis has called out online critics for criticizing her and her "And Just Like That…" co-stars.

In December 2021, Davis told The Sunday Times that she has been alarmed regarding the "misogynist chatter" online about their ages. 

"What am I going to do about it? Stop aging? Disappear?" Davis said. 

"Everyone wants to comment, pro or nay or whatever, on our hair and our faces and our this and our that. The level of intensity of it was a shock," she added. "I feel angry and I don’t want to feel angry all the time, so I don’t look at it, I just know it’s there."
