Chappell Roan Sparks Debate on Parenthood and Relationships in Call Her Daddy Interview

This episode, released on March 26, 2025, saw Roan reflecting on her return to her hometown post-fame and observing the lifestyle choices of her peers, many of whom are settling down with families and careers.
Controversial Remarks on Parenthood
During the discussion, when asked about her own desires for marriage and children, Chappell responded with evident skepticism:
“All my friends who have kids are in hell. I don’t know anyone – I actually don’t know anyone who’s like, happy and has children at this age. I literally have not met anyone who’s happy, anyone who has like light in their eyes, anyone who has slept.”
Her comments quickly ignited a firestorm on social media, with many mothers expressing their discontent on platforms like TikTok. A specific response from beauty brand owner @tallowmom went viral, highlighting the emotional toll some mothers feel and criticizing Roan’s perspective:
“I guarantee she has this perspective because a few of her mom friends are going through it and may a friendship like that never ever ever ever find me. May the friendships of narcissistic childless women with no sense of loyalty ever find me lol,”the user tweeted.
Insights into Roan’s Personal Life
In the candid conversation, Chappell shared her views on relationships, advocating for the importance of being single. When Cooper inquired about her relationship status, Roan revealed that she is currently in a committed relationship, which she has been in for six months:
“It’s serious. I’m very in love, but I am pro-single. Everyone should be single. Stop dating, have a great time alone, find out for yourself if you can 100% be OK alone before you date. That’s what I found out. I had a great time when I was single, and I know that I’ll be OK, and now I have an awesome time that I’m with someone.”
She elaborated that her current partner is someone she dated before her rise to fame, expressing a mix of uncertainty about dating in her new life:
“I haven’t dated someone since this all really, really blew up,” she said. “I’m dating the same person that I was dating before I got, like, blew up, so I’m not sure how I would date now.”
In the interview, Roan also divulged her concerns about trust and privacy in relationships, explaining her wariness regarding the intentions of new people in her life. She stated that she often fears her conversations may be shared without her consent.
Challenges of Fame and Identity
