It is always exciting to find out a famous or well-known person is childfree (or was childfree if deceased). This is a running list collected from various sources so feel free to make suggestions or request corrections to this list.  The list will include people who are/were childfree-by-choice and childfree-by-circumstance.

Did anyone on this list surprise you?

Who on the list are you most proud to share the childfree lifestyle with?

Let us know in the comments.

For clarification: the term “childfree”, in the sense of this list, will be in regards to people who, by-choice or by-circumstance, never had a child from a live birth, fostered a child, adopted a child, became a step-parent or legal guardian.  They will also be over the age or 18 years old.

It is always exciting to find out a famous or well-known person is childfree (or was childfree if deceased). This is a running list collected from various sources so feel free to make suggestions or request corrections to this list.  The list will include people who are/were childfree-by-choice and childfree-by-circumstance.

Did anyone on this list surprise you?

Who on the list are you most proud to share the childfree lifestyle with?

Let us know in the comments.

For clarification: the term “childfree”, in the sense of this list, will be in regards to people who, by-choice or by-circumstance, never had a child from a live birth, fostered a child, adopted a child, became a step-parent or legal guardian.  They will also be over the age or 18 years old.

Names appear in alphabetical order (links are being added over time).
