Elaine Crowley has admitted that she has to “adapt to the reality” that she’ll never be a mum.
The TV3 star, who fronts her own panel chat show, has revealed that she thought she would be married at this stage of her life.
Speaking to the Sunday World, the 40-year-old said, “I love my nieces and nephews so much. There must be at least 20 of them at this stage. But I do wonder how different my life would be if I was married and had kids of my own.
“I thought it would have happened by now and it hasn’t. I think that ship has sailed.”
“My hormones are flying off the cliff. I know I can physically and medically still have kids of my own but it’s very unlikely now. I am resigned to the fact.
“It upsets me when I think about it but then I have to tell myself to cop on and be grateful for what I have. Plus, I am very impulsive. I have been known to fly off to Thailand at the drop of the hat from time to time.
“I couldn’t do that with kids obviously. So I have to adapt to the reality that I’ll never be a mum,” she explained.
The presenter also revealed that she is currently in a relationship, but it’s still early days.
“It’s a new-enough relationship, so I don’t want to jinx it. But I’d by lying if I said this time of year was easy for me,” she said, before adding, “But I am happy and I am with someone.”
