Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman have been together for two decades now. Megan recently opened up about why they haven’t produced a child after the long marriage. The main reason was that they never had “an organic burning desire” to have children. 


Mullally also recalled how her mother wanted to have 10 children unlike her. Megan spoke about how “thrilled” her mother would be if she gave birth to a child. 

“If you’re in a place financially where you can’t afford to have your own life and feel like you’re able to be creative, then that could make you a lot more resentful,” she added. The star pointed out that she was in no way “anti-children” in life.
