“For as long as I can remember, I have not wanted to have kids,” said Roy speaking toToday Parents. “And everyone who knew me knew that, so I wasn’t pressured much to have kids since my answer never changed.”
Fredrick also explained that he has never felt the pressure to have children from family and friends.
“I have a lot of older cousins that don’t have kids, so I think they have taken the attention off of me a bit,” he toldToday. “I have not been too fond of children for a while, and my close friends and family have known that.”
Frederick pointed out that the child-free announcement has made people feel more comfortable about not having children.
“If these pictures makes things any easier for someone pressured into having kids, or helps normalize this choice, then I’m happy to have helped others even just a little,” added Frederick.
“There’s a growing number of people who are choosing the child-free life for many number of reasons, so it’s probably best to wait for them to bring up any news than asking quite personal questions.”
