society expects women to have the husband..the children...the life that they deem as successful....but sometimes those things are not in God's plan..........it's hard finding the right partner...if it wasn't.... the divorce rate wouldn't be so high.......a husband & children enhance your life...not complete you as a person.....it's ok to be single ..........I luv her

This is the same thing Kevin Samuels used to talk about R.I.P..Chicks not wanting to settle, end up single in they’re 40-50’s.

she's only single because she chose to date younger men what makes you think a younger man going to be with you and you are way older than him >it's either two things that might make him stay .... give him money or good sex

I don’t blame her. If there’s no man who doesn’t meet her standards, don’t lower yours to get the family you want because it’s not going to be want you wanted. Came across a lot of women unhappy because they were quick to say yes despite knowing their husbands weren’t good for them. Marriages doesn’t change people

She simply put her fame and money ahead of the value of personal relationships and one day realized that $#1 is as not important as she thought it was. People like her need to tell the truth and help others avoid making the same mistake.

The funny thing is Only narcissist would say their partner has to make their life better, that's probably why she's letting all those young guys run through her because a man her age is not going to put up with the garbage, the man will lay down and have sex with her but her attitude and mindset it's probably off that's why you don't want to waste their time with her! the only thing she controls in a relationship is the sex so if she talks to a man and she choose to give them sex and it happens to be decent they're going to keep doing the same thing to her that is why she came out and said she likes younger guys because they are just there for the thrill and nothing else, and you can tell she's been a sugar mama for a while probably since her late 30s

I 💯 feel what Tracy is saying. When you set your standars high the personal price you pay can sometimes be high! You're making your way in the world and hopefully someone with your same valuesand dreams is willing to join you! However, that often times doesn't happen. of course if she just wanted someone in her bed...she can get that! But she's saying I want a partnership as well as love. It's a common sacrifice for professional woman who are unwilling to settle!

She is a beautiful talented woman,I just wish she stopped crying about what she doesnt have and be grateful for what she has. She has acted in top notch shows,movies,commercials. She is the daughter of an icon. If she wanted a man or kids,she could have both,just be honest that neither was her choice. its ok to say I dont want any kids!🌸

She doesn’t need a man for finances. She says “…make my life better…” This doesn’t mean make more money, be more famous, etc.. It means my life is great so a man cannot take away, tear down or destroy what she has built. He has to accentuate and add something to her life she doesn’t already have. She doesn’t want a boring log, a man child, a loser, a leech, a fool, a cheater or any other unpleasant thing that will make her life worse. Mr. Wrong could be my and other women’s nightmare. We prefer being single over being with the wrong partner as she stated.

I have the upmost respect. I believe early on without saying her mother being the Iconic Diana Ross was not only a blessing but also the Actual building blocks of who she is. Miss Tracy wanted to rewrite in her own self growth. She never had any Scandals called that she is only famous because of her Mom. What I see from her Demonstrating and defying the odds not being in the Tabloids or depending on others Approval. Her self growth is about being who she is !

It takes real courage to speak openly about the grief and complexity behind choices society often pressures women about. Tracee Ellis Ross shows that fulfillment isn’t always tied to marriage or children it’s about living authentically, honoring your journey, and refusing to settle. Her story is a reminder that true happiness comes from within, not from ticking off society’s checklist…. Tracee Ellis Ross’s honesty is powerful, but it’s also a reminder that it’s never too late for new beginnings. God’s timing is perfect, not ours. Fulfillment, love, family all these blessings can come at any stage of life. Stay open, stay hopeful, because miracles don’t follow a human timeline. ✨🙏

I agree with her 💯 . Why should any woman settle . God didn't intend for us to settle . Most women who settle ,end up in abusive relationships , or a man who would cheat on her with other women .Or not provide any financial support for the family . That's not the plans of God for any woman . MS. Lynn Dallas Ga .

Just like many feminists and "girl bosses" are finding out that giving up having a husband and kids for a career or because they are not thinking about the future, they find out after certain age that they messed up and growing old without nobody to love is hell no matter how much success or money they got!!!

Uuuuum, "With no one to hide behind", what does she mean by that? Why does the choice to have kids or a husband or having kids or a husband, mean that you have someone to hide behind 🤔? Actually having someone, whether a partner or offspring to walk beside in life, raise, mentor, love or loving you unconditionally is a blessing and not a life shield! Some people in life are so confused. I didn't hear anything about GOD in her life! She is relying on her own thoughts and understanding alone of what she feels is meaningful and purposeful in her life and not what GOD's purpose is for her! I feel for her! She sounds undercover lonely! GOD bless and help her!💕

Tracee you are truly amazing!! Yes you could have Head behind your mother's name. but no. instead, you went out on your own and made your own way and made a name for yourself. I love you. I think you are one of the funniest most prolific black women. On top of it girl I love your hair products. thank you for putting it out there for us. girls who have that one half of their hair is curly and one half is kind of straight. Don't worry about it. you're right. find the right man. I don't care if you're 40. if you're 50 or 60 he will come. continue to do what you're doing and continue to love life because we are loving you back 💕
