Hawaiian singer Irie Love has opened up about her deeply personal decision to live a childfree life, sharing that her choice stems from her upbringing, her values, and her desire for a life rooted in freedom, creativity, and service to the people she loves.
Speaking in an interview on Obinna TV Extra on Monday, December 8, 2025, the reggae and R&B singer reflected on her parents’ early start and how it shaped her own path.
“My dad played football at the University of Hawaii; that’s how he met my mum,” she said. “She was 17, he was 20 years old, and they got me when she was 18—very young parents. That’s why I don’t have children. Kids? No. I clocked it. Locked and loaded, signed, sealed, and delivered,” she stated.
She explained that choosing not to have children has allowed her to live a life anchored in passion and possibility.
“I like freedom. I like a life where I can follow my passion, bliss, spontaneous adventure,” she said.
Her decision, she added, has made it possible for her to show up wholeheartedly for her family and community.
“I can show up for other people. I can show up for my nieces and nephews. I can help take care of my grandparents. I can go and help my mum at any moment when she needs me, without any hesitation.”
For Irie Love, the choice is also tied to her sense of identity and her understanding of creativity. She believes that women, by nature of having a womb, are creators, capable of building worlds far beyond motherhood
. “I can create worlds within worlds because as a woman, I have a womb; we are creators. So now I can use my creative energy to create worlds outside of just having a child. So a child is its own universe, I have decided to create different types of universes
