She likes her current lifestyle, “being able to get up and go and move and do what I wanna do.” She went on to say “I don’t want to have to tend to someone all the time.”
When host Justin Sylvester asked Mary if she regretted not being a mother, to which the “Queen” responded, “I have nieces and nephews forever and I’m always watching how people are scrambling for babysitters.
