Please don’t settle for anything less than what you deserve.
Marriage is Not All it is "Cracked Up to be". Ms. Yvonne Pena
Her BOX IS OLD AND WORN NOW.She is hit it and quit material now.
As an adult people need to realize that everyone has to settle. Not in a sense of "less than" but more so settle for a different expectation. because this kind of thinking is usuall because of u realistic expectations. U could literally miss out on the love of ur life because ur were expecting them to be already perfect when u met them but had u allowed them to grow and learn everything about u they could have been just that.
Gonna be a ton of orphaned elderly...no kids no partner.....better get them nursing homes ready....
Some folks are missing the point she is at a point in her life that she is not gonna to settle for less because she hasn't had any children or a mate this isn't defining her this is her story and everyone has their own story where you are in life and what your goals are and what you will allow or not allow to be a part of your life or lifestyle
I wish I was in those shoes… I NEVER cared about being a mom and DEFINITELY not a wife to a man…
It's almost late. She waited for too long trying to select Mr Right. With her privileged upbringing, finding a mate ought not to be that difficult. There is nobody that you will get together with that's not going to have some shot coming. If what is desirable is not available, what is available for to be desirable. Having a spouse and children is full of twists and turns. Keep searching because you are a beautiful and talented person.
I agree 100%. I have been single for some time, but if a person that comes into my life doesn't compliment me, then what's the point?? Be miserable? No thanks.
i strongly agree with her💕👍
Many women have prioritize their career over family. It is hard for me to believe that she couldnt find not 1 suitable partner to habe children with. The more industrialized a nation become, the less focus on family
God always has a plan.
When youre successful it's hard to find a man who want to be beside you! These guys only want you under them! It's ok to be alone if you don't want to be under a man who doesn't know his worth and won't appreciate yours! A guy who dont and wont anyone to help assist him to find himself.
you women forget there is a god! his name is Jehovah your lord god.🙏 pray to the the holy spirit through pray you not going to get a good man in this sinful society.pray your heart out to the lord ask the lord for what you want and let it go!!! stop talking about it.love yourself you are number one.take care of your mental health!!! and wait on the lord . god is real he work .on his time.you women out there are love.god love you the day you were born. he will love you forever wait ! on the lord. I did.😆🙏🙏
she a controller...
I always liked her. She's funny,sexy and a great actress. Hopefully she'll find a good person...
Many men will love to marry you, I think it’s her and her Jennifer Lopez statuses. Thinking you’re above your man or anyone. If a man sneezes he has done wrong and on to the next 😆😆.
Women are hilarious they make these decisions because money and fame means more than family
Sorry Tracee but you missed your boat waiting on a yatch!
Woman !! You are doing it right 💪🏻♥️never settle
Tracee Ellis is brave, and self aware. Lots of young women dream of there wedding and what their life will be like when they grow up. I’m glad that Tracee is honest and insightful about living her life without children or the wrong partner. She has standards and refused to lower her standards to accommodate or settle for the wrong person or any person just for the sake of being in a relationship. Lots of people settle and end up with someone who doesn’t make their life better. It takes a lot of courage to live life as a single person versus having someone to share with you or shield you from life’s challenges. Although I’m married for almost 40yrs I completely understand what she is saying.
Picking a partner is not about finding everything you look for in a partner. We all are flawed individuals. You look at a person' s character and make a decision whether those character flaws are tolerable or not. And in particular, if you are a believer, put your trust in faith in Good to lead you to the right person🙏.
it's not to late what God has for her it is for her 🙏 💕 since she is thinking about it I believe something or someone is about to happen for her🙏🥰
You’re still alive and you can always start over, if that’s what you want for yourself. Go date, like someone, love ❤️ someone, Make each other life better and grow and build together and go have some children. It all can happen if that’s important to you. Take a chance at love every man is not the same. They are still a few good ones left. Don’t cheat yourself. You won’t know if he’s the right one for you if you have never given it a chance
YOU HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB,,, MS. ROSS ,,, 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
She has nothing to offer a real man besides money.
I think any single person who has matured can understand what she’s saying. The importance of having a good partner, versus just having a partner. The questions that run in the back of your head about the choices you made, and how they affect your life. Well, she didn’t come out directly and say it she implied strongly that these were her choices, and she lives by them. Good or bad. She makes some very good points in this interview. She didn’t blame anyone for where she has ended up in life at this point. That is something that should be encouraged whether you’re in a relationship or not. Other than that, I don’t know anything about her. So she could be a really good person, or a total dirtbag. I don’t know, but this is definitely a positive for her in my view.
I've never had a problem dating but I had to learn how to choose quality & did. I couldn't imagine not being a mom & wife but I would NEVER settle if I didn't. Misery is not happiness.
yawning 🥱
it the life u live it's your choice
lived on her looks too long now she got nothing to extort men with
I love you! I married twice. Both were failures with no natural children. But I am BLESSED....so are you🌸. I had to have a hysterectomy, and grieved. Yet God blessed me to work in group homes, residential facilities with children/young adults, and one day, my daughter found me when she was 14🥰. 34 years later....I am a Mommy with no husband. Trust God, Tracey Ross, it's not over🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
I. D. C. I don't know who she is and I care even less.
how many times does she have to say "me" , "my", "I", she will never find anyone good enough for her because it's all about her.
She didn't mention her life being happier with a partner she already has a great life on her own so she should look for someone who can make her happy
🥰🥰🥰💕🙏
all these years she has not found anyone I feel she's looking for that perfect man and she ain't going to find him I mean what else could it be she's a very pretty woman get it together dear🤷♀️!! 🙏
I think the truth is Hollywood must of had her and no real man wants left overs and a weird personality on their plates … she probably moves either like or worse than her moms…. The apple don’t fall far from the tree folks!!!!
you know what she made her choices she had plenty of choices to make she made her choices we don't feel sorry for you so continue to make your millions and do your thing you chose not to be a wife and mother that was your choice
It’s obvious she hates life and hates herself now she’s living in regret
You deserve to have whatever attributes you would like in a partner just like everyone else. We all have choices, they all come with a cost…… Additionally, maybe she isn’t aware that children are not impossible at her age if her eggs are tested and in vitro fertilization with a surrogate is used to carry the child.
yea some random hookup would mess up anybody if it's a bad partner
You could have had kids by yourself.
don't settle on anyone!
It's not too late Traci I'm ready whenever you are. Im very poor but I cook and I dress up very well
ok. I am in the Sane situation you still have value 🙂 🥰🙏🏾
I agree with Tracee, plus one can't let society dictate what and where we should be and have in this world.
well she would make a good foster mom so there kids out here needs parents 👈
nobody wants her, she's weird
😂😂😂 y'all so worried bout settling you forgot how to choose a mf. make a choice take a pic sheesh non y'all as cute as u think u are
shame
This is what not settling will get you. Get fid of the conditions
YEEAAASS, DOLLING!! LIVE "YOUR LIFE"😏🫰🏽🫰🏽🫰🏽✌🏽✊🏽🫶🏽💪🏽👏🏾🙏🏽❤️🔥❤️🔥💜🥰
Most Actresses stay committed to their work and they get so obsessed with that I think they sometimes forget what's important in life but all she has to do is open up shop that's the fun part of making children 😉
you should have settled. you wouldn't be sad now. your children will be giving love... that's the price of driving a Mercedes instead of a Rolls
It’s so weird but time slips by when you work so hard and navigate through life, you look back and life is like, uh oh wow I’m not going to accept less! And then now I’m 60.
