"It's been my dream to have four babies by 30. I look after animals, so I'd have a lot to give my kids"
About this Quote
The emotional hook is the pivot from performance to nurture. “I look after animals” is doing a lot of work: it’s a proof-of-competence argument delivered in the safest, most culturally acceptable form. Loving animals signals tenderness without inviting the harsher scrutiny that often shadows wealthy celebrity parenting (“nannies,” “vanity babies,” “too busy”). Animals are also a soft-focus extension of her public image: small, cute, controllable, camera-ready. She’s borrowing that affection and rebranding it as transferable care.
The subtext is reputation management in a culture that punishes women for staying frozen at “party girl” and also punishes them for wanting motherhood “too strategically.” By tying maternal desire to a caretaking identity, she tries to pre-empt both critiques: not reckless, not calculating, just naturally equipped. The missed timeline (“by 30”) adds another layer: a quiet admission that dreams get revised, while the desire to be taken seriously doesn’t go away.
