London, Oct 27 : Singer Sam Smith says they want to have children by 35.
Smith first came out to their family as gay at the age 10, and revealed he was non-binary in March 2019. By September 2019, the artiste publicly announced their preferred pronouns to be “they/them”.
The 28-year-old singer opened up on Zane Lowe’s show about their journey to self-acceptance. Smith also spoke about wanting to start a family, saying that they see themselves becoming a parent at least by the time they turn 35 years old.
“I want kids. I want all of it. I want to have kids. I want to be with the kids and I want to watch them grow and be with them every day. I want to be mummy,” the artiste said on the show, according to a report in people.com.
He added: Look, I’ve always been non-binary. I’ve always felt the way I felt. When I changed my pronouns, things got complicated for sure. I felt a need to be presenting — all the time. It took time, it took real time.” Smith explained that they have had to adopt a patient mentality when encountering people who mistakenly call them by “he/him” pronouns.
