Former Pussycat Dolls star and radio DJ Ashley Roberts has candidly discussed her personal choice to remain childless during a heartfelt conversation with fellow I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! campmates. The 44-year-old singer revealed that having babies has never been a priority in her life, sparking a broader dialogue about parenthood and personal fulfillment.
Campfire Confessions on Family Plans
In a poignant moment within the jungle camp, Ashley Roberts sat down with Sinitta and Scarlett Moffatt as the topic of children naturally arose. When Sinitta directly inquired if Ashley had any children, the singer responded with clarity and conviction. "I don’t have any babies, no babies," Ashley stated. "It is just not top of the list. I think I have been so driven and travelling, I don’t feel a strong passion."
Supportive Responses from Fellow Campmates
Sinitta, a mother of two adopted children, offered understanding words in reply. "I always say to people unless you really really want it…because it takes everything and it is your life," she shared, acknowledging the immense commitment required for parenting. Scarlett Moffatt, who is a mother to one child, then contributed her perspective, noting that "too many people become parents who actually shouldn’t be parents."
Scarlett further elaborated in a separate Bush Telegraph segment, expressing admiration for Ashley's self-awareness. "For me, being a mum has completely changed my whole life, and it's something that I've wanted for so so long. But for other women, it isn't," she said. "And I just think good for Ashley, same as good for me who wanted a child, good for Ashley, who doesn’t. We all just have to live our best lives, however that looks."
Scarlett's Personal Journey to Motherhood
Scarlett Moffatt opened up about her own challenging path to becoming a parent, revealing that she tried for four years to conceive her son Jude. The couple successfully conceived shortly before they were scheduled to visit a fertility clinic, a moment she described as deeply emotional. Despite often being asked about expanding her family with a second child, Scarlett acknowledged that life "sometimes doesn’t work out that way," highlighting the unpredictable nature of family planning.
Sinitta's Family Background and Past Romance
The conversation also touched upon Sinitta's family life; she adopted her two children, Zac and Magdalena, in 2007 with her then-husband Andy Willner. Additionally, the campmates delved into Sinitta's previous romantic involvement with Brad Pitt, which occurred just as the actor was beginning to achieve widespread fame, adding a layer of celebrity nostalgia to their jungle discussions.
Ashley's Longstanding Stance on Parenthood
This is not the first time Ashley Roberts has addressed questions about her decision regarding children. In a 2025 appearance on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast, the singer, who last participated in I'm A Celeb in 2012, reiterated her position. "It really never has been a priority to me," she explained. "Even as a kid, I told my mom, ‘I don’t think I want kids, I don’t really care if I get married.’ It wasn’t like I was the girl planning the wedding and seeing the whole white picket fence and all that."
Ashley reflected on how her perspective has remained consistent over the years. "I kinda kept thinking, ‘Well, maybe when I get older, that will shift,’ and I’m like, ‘It hasn’t really shifted.’ Again, who knows? I think every day, we’ve got to allow ourselves to exist in the possibility of waking up the next day and feeling different. Although, as a woman, we’ve got our biological clock." This honest admission underscores her thoughtful approach to life choices amidst societal expectations.
The jungle camp has become a setting for profound personal revelations, with Ashley Roberts' discussion on motherhood resonating as a testament to individual autonomy and the diverse paths to happiness. As the celebrities continue their jungle experience, such conversations highlight the show's ability to foster genuine connections and meaningful dialogue beyond mere entertainment.
