MARY J BLIGE:MARRIED WITH CHILDREN

Singer Mary J Blige is pictured with her blended family:her husband Kendu Isaacs,her step-daughter Jordan,8, and step-son Nas,7.Brianna(not pictured) is Mary’s 20-year-old step child. The singer,who was rumored to be pregnant this year, struggles with the idea of having children of her own. When asked in an Essence interview whether she would like kids of her own , Mary replied:

“I think I’m going to have children. But it’s not something that I have planned.But if it happens, I’m not going to get rid of my baby. Well, you know what it is with me? I’ve just got so much work. God’s got to be done with me, the low moments and all the insecurities of the past. Your kid is around you 24/7. When you have stepchildren, they come around and then they go home. My child is going to be watching me go up and down on the days that I go down. I don’t want my child to feel what I felt when I was coming up, what it was like for my mother to hurt all the time. So I have a fear-it’s probably one of my biggest fears-a fear of my child suffering, you know, with that energy.”

Maybe this black celebrity mom just doesn’t want any kids of her own.
