No Ring, No Kids — Still THAT Girl
In a recent appearance with Melyssa Ford on the ‘Hot & Bothered’ podcast, Mýa got real about why she’s never started a family. “I’ve never had a desire for marriage and children,” the 45-year-old revealed during the conversation, dropping some serious gems about how her upbringing shaped that mindset. Mýa opened up about seeing her parents’ divorce and how that, along with her own life experiences, pushed her to carve a different path — one that’s rooted in independence, purpose, and spiritual alignment.
“It’s not even my focus, and it never has been,” she shared in part. “… I’ve witnessed a divorce between my parents… I’ve witnessed a lot of things, and it’s also not been a safe place in my mind as a little girl. So I’ve always thought a little different — the white wedding dress — I was very fearful of those things, so I looked elsewhere and probably escaped too much in my work… Knowing that if I have to be gone 95% of the time, and my work calls for me to travel, that must be intimidating, and I also can’t show up properly for my significant other.”

Nonetheless, Mýa explained that although she’s not “seeking” romance, she knows it will be “granted” to her in “divine time.”
“Not say I won’t [have the desire] and not to say I’m not open,” she concluded to Melyssa. “… [But] it hasn’t kicked in for me yet.”
Mýa Spoke Her Truth & We Felt That!
Fans are flooding the ‘Hot & Bothered’ YouTube comments with nothing but love for Mýa, calling her the blueprint for peace, poise, and living unbothered. Many are saying it all makes sense now — sis is aging backwards because nobody’s son is out here stressing her out! From her honesty to her energy, Mýa is inspiring a wave of women to prioritize healing, wholeness, and doing life on their terms.
One Youtube user @89Drmz said, “I love how Mya romanticizes everything. Her descriptions of everything are like little love letters… poetry in a way.“
And, Youtube user @Aries16603 wrote, “I know it’s a pleasure to be in the presence of someone like Mya. That woman is smart, sexy and powerful.“
Plot Twist! Mýa Married Herself
Now y’all remember back in 2020 when the internet lost its mind thinking the singer had secretly tied the knot? Sis had us all in our feelings after dropping a photo in a wedding dress on the beach with the caption, “Officially, Mrs. Lansky.” Friends and fans were quick to congratulate her — but plot twist! Mýa wasn’t marrying no man… she was marrying herself for her music video ‘The Truth,’ which dropped just hours later. The real gag? She was celebrating self-love the whole time — and looking flawless while doing it. Mýa BEEN that girl, and clearly, she don’t need nobody’s son to prove it!
