Carly Pearce has publicly declared she does not want children, addressing a fan question on TikTok.

“I don’t want children. I’m totally okay with that,” she said, adding that society should normalize child-free choices.

Pearce clarified she loves kids but her dream was always music.

“My dream was to pursue country music and live on the road. It’s never been my dream.”

Pearce, who has been dating Jordan Karcher for over a year, says she does want to remarry despite her 2020 divorce from Michael Ray.

“I absolutely wanna get married again and intend to get married again.”

Notably, Pearce’s career inspiration Dolly Parton is also child-free.
