Bo Derek, 66, has talked about why she doesn’t want to have children. The actress, who became famous for her role in “Bolero,” said she couldn’t picture having children because of how strange and chaotic her childhood was. Strangely, Derek didn’t want to become an actor. She had dreamed of a happy future where she might work at a surf shop.
But when the chance to work in the show business came up, she felt uneasy about it. Derek turned down some great chances to become an actress. Derek’s first husband was actor John Derek. They were married from 1976 to 1998. Between her and actor John Corbett, they have been together since 2002. It’s not in their plans to have children. In the end, Derek did bring up the idea of adoption.
She tells them to think about adopting a child because it is a real possibility. Their marriage and their desire to start a family have not been rushed. In an interview with Fox News, Derek said that starting a young family and adding a new branch to the family tree is a big responsibility that hasn’t been a part of their life yet.
They had a great relationship, Derek said, and their attraction came from “comfort.” She also talked about how happy and active John Corbett was and how he could make her laugh. Derek believes that they are still very close and are slowly beginning to feel at home. The reason Bo Derek chose not to have children was because she wanted a safe, non-traditional life.
Even though she thinks that having two committed parents is good for kids, she admits that her own situation makes it hard for her to be a consistent parent. Derek and John Corbett may continue to enjoy their future adoption now that they have made a promise to each other.
