Why Did Marilyn Monroe Never Have Kids?

Fans love getting a glimpse into the personal lives of famous stars as a way to feel closer to them. For many, Marilyn Monroe was always an enigma, and fans wanted to know everything about her, including whether she ever had any offspring.

Monroe never had children, but it was not for lack of wanting them. By the mid-1950s, as her career reached its peak, she began to seriously think about starting a family during her marriage to playwright Arthur Miller. Unfortunately, due to several health reasons, her dream of having a family of her own never came to fruition before her untimely death at age 36. Before Miller, she had a string of bad marriages followed by bad luck that didn’t seem to allow for motherhood.
