The Real Reason Why Shonda Rhimes Never Got Married

Posted by Almeda Bohannan on Friday, May 31, 2024

While appearing on Oprah Winfrey's SuperSoul Sunday, Rhimes revealed, "I'm one of those people, since I was 5, I could tell you I was going to have kids. I could tell you I was going to have three. I could tell you they were going to be girls." However, Rhimes had no interest in settling down otherwise.

"I have never wanted to get married. I never played bride. I was never interested," she admitted, acknowledging the freedom experienced by sharing the seemingly taboo desire with Winfrey. Rhimes was thrilled by finally getting the opportunity to stand up and mark herself as someone with no desire to get married... ever. It was a scary proposition, however, considering the pressure and constant questions fielded by women in their 30s and 40s who haven't wed.
