Ukrainian singer and model Dasha Astafieva has responded to rumors that she doesn't want children. In a new interview, the artist said that motherhood is important and desirable for her, but she is deliberately not in a hurry, because she wants to approach this state emotionally ready, without "uncovered traumas" and other people's expectations.
Dasha Astafieva confirmed that she dreams of becoming a mother, but stressed that her priority now is mental health and stability in relationships. According to her, she is constantly pressured with questions about pregnancy and marriage, as if it should happen immediately. She called this direct pressure from society.
" Do I want to have children? Yes ," Astafieva said. She explained that as a child she did not experience many things that should be natural for a child, and now she is making up for it in her relationship with her lover. The artist describes this as an important stage - to allow herself to feel the security, tenderness and acceptance that a person normally receives from childhood. She believes that she must go through this experience "from beginning to end", live it and rethink it before she dares to become a mother.
Astafieva specifically emphasized that she doesn't want to transfer her own traumas to her future family. She says that many couples can't become parents not only for medical reasons, but also because they carry unhealed resentments from their parents and their own childhood into their new relationships. It's important to her not to repeat this scenario.
" I want to be a good mother ," says the artist. According to her, for this she is now trying to "relax her body", relive the painful moments of the past and learn to be truly happy in her personal life. She believes that when she feels inner readiness and peace, then she will be able to realize herself in motherhood.
Thus, Astafieva's position is not about giving up children, but about a willingness not to repeat other people's mistakes and not to give birth "at the request of the audience." The artist wants a normal marriage, stability, and respect for personal boundaries — not another "when is the baby" headline.
