She travels two to three times a year, splashes out on nice dinners and nights out, and has big dreams to own a penthouse and one day move to Europe. She says she doesn’t have to make any sacrifices or compromises for anyone else.

Chandler says she would rather “regret” not having a child than having a child and regretting the role of being a mum. She also thinks that having a child is “inherently selfish” and that people often do it for the wrong reasons.

She was quoted to have said at DailyMail:

“I don’t fault people for having children but the reasons are selfish. People want them to be a better parent than theirs were or because they want a mini me. Having a child is inherently selfish.”
