Joy Taylor Reveals Shocking Reason Behind Her Decision Not to Have Children

Remember when you were told what your perfect life should look like? Joy Taylor is so over that, and she just dropped the realest take on motherhood that has completely broken social media. Seriously, fans couldn’t stop talking about it! On the “Two Personal Show” podcast with Kendra G, the 38-year-old sports commentator clarified why she will not have kids, despite endless unwelcome requests from strangers. Her reason? She thinks the entire “legacy” notion is totally absurd. Are you ready for this no-filter conversation?

Why Men Need to Stop Talking About Legacy (It’s So Cringey)

The podcast conversation started with Joy Taylor pointing out how men approach her about having children. She noticed a fascinating pattern emerge from these chats. Men always want their children to “carry on their legacy” without ever mentioning marriage, partnership, or the actual development of a family.

It’s always about the baby part and their genes! Her answer to them? Absolutely not. She admitted she’d be “a terrible person to raise children with.” She did not sugarcoat her words, making her stand unambiguously clear without hesitation or apology. Former Fox Sports host did not back down at all.

Your Great-Great-Great-Grandkids Don’t Care Who You Were

Then came the philosophical dive, and this is where Taylor really went viral. She completely tore apart society’s obsession with genetic legacy and the idea of being immortalized. Her speech went viral on Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit within hours. A tweet by @FearedBuck on November 21, 2025, perfectly summed up her sentiment: “I think legacy is absurd.”

Why does Joy Taylor believe having kids for “legacy” is bad? She made a crucial distinction: wanting a real family is different from having children solely to satisfy your ego. Family means shared stories, traditions, and deep connections. That’s beautiful and valuable, in her view. But making children just so your genes continue? This is where she sets a hard line.

Her reality check was brutal but true. She stressed, “Five generations from now, there’s no talk about Grandma Joy. They’re not even talking about you.” One person may mention your name once in two hundred years. So what? That tiny mention does not matter in the big picture. Taylor said humans possess an “incredibly elevated godlike mindset” of ourselves.

The next generation will study our lives to transfer our knowledge. But the truth is? Nobody cares! Your great-great-great-grandchildren won’t know your favorite color or your most significant accomplishments. That’s just how life works. Seriously, who saw that level of truth coming?

Stop Commenting on Joy Taylor’s Uterus, People!

Taylor also revealed the daily conflict she faces with people arguing over her reproductive choices. Friends and strangers constantly tell her she’d be an “ideal mom” and a “wonderful woman to have children with.” She finds these comments incredibly offensive and insensitive.

She wryly commented that she “looks like a breeder” for some reason.

Men tend to be pushy when she states her opinion. They argue that she’ll change her mind or hasn’t found the right person. Wrong! Joy Taylor knows herself extremely well.

It is not like she is a family hater, either. Her brother, Jason Taylor, is a Pro Football Hall of Famer, and her nephew, Mason Taylor, plays tight end for the New York Jets. She was raised with four siblings and has two of her own. She is deeply connected to family but chooses not to create her own kids. That distinction matters! Taylor was previously married to former MLB player Richard Giannotti from 2016 to 2017. She later became engaged to former NBA player Earl Watson, but they split in 2019. She is 38 and entirely sure of her decision.

Remember When She Said Prostitution Could Help Men? Her Other Viral Moments

This legacy take isn’t the only controversial opinion from Joy Taylor lately! Earlier, on “The Truth After Dark” podcast with Paul Pierce and Azar Farideh, she revealed another gem. If she appears with a 70-year-old man, do not bother asking questions! He’s on a plane that she’s taking us all on.

Back in May 2025, Taylor also made headlines, suggesting that legalizing prostitution could reduce men’s loneliness. She described loneliness as a “massive issue” that needs social solutions. Predictably, social media exploded with both positive and critical feedback.

The former Fox Sports host lost her job in July 2025 after almost a decade at the network. She is currently a defendant in a lawsuit brought by a retired hair stylist, Noushin Faraji, alleging workplace harassment. Taylor cannot comment on the ongoing legal proceedings but vows to speak out when legally permitted.

Through all the drama and discourse, Joy Taylor remains true to her non-filtered approach. She’s become known as the honest sports journalist who never hesitates to stand by her opinion. The “Two Personal Show” podcast continues to attract large audiences seeking her candid views on relationships, dating, and societal expectations.
