The Life of Television and Film Star Jennifer Coolidge

She has never been married and does not have children. In later interviews, she spoke about that part of her life with unusual honesty, saying she saw herself as immature and felt she was “sort of a child” herself.

She also connected the decision to her dating history, saying she often chose intense men rather than calmer partners. Friends had suggested adoption, but she said she would have preferred being a stepmother, revealing another personal choice behind her public reinvention.
