Jeff Brazier's wife Kate, 34, shares why she 'doesn't want children of her own'
Kate Brazier took to Instagram to talk about her decision
Often times women feel certain pressure to have children but Jeff Brazier’s wife made a heartfelt confession online which shows that it’s not the path for everyone.
There is a lot of taboo around wanting to remain child-free, and there’s just something about the topic that makes people want to comment on it.
However, Kate Brazier has come out to share that she 'doesn't want children of her own' and is honest about her reasons.

The 35-year-old has been married to the TV presenter since 2018 and is stepmum to his two children, Bobby, 20, and Freddie, 19, whose mother is late Big Brother star Jade Goody, who died in 2009 after being diagnosed with cervical cancer.
Kate shared on Instagram that she didn't want children of her own but was worried about admitting this due to 'fear of judgement'.
She wrote over a video of her on the beach: "Hi everyone, I'm Kate. I'm 34 years old. The thought of turning 35 terrifies me, and I don't know why.
“I've been with my husband for a decade and I'm a step mum to two boys. "Marriage is my greatest teacher and the work we have done together is the thing I'm most proud of.
“I don't think I want children of my own. For a long time I felt I couldn't say that out loud for fear of judgement.”
Calling her 10-year-old bulldog Mabel her 'greatest joy', Kate shared other facts about herself in the post as part of a social media trend.
Describing herself as an 'introverted extrovert', she says that 'big groups overwhelm me', adding that she needs '1-2 Kate days to recharge'.
She also revealed that she had emetophobia, which is the fear of throwing up, saying that she constantly panics about someone throwing up while on the Tube.
Kate also talks about her love of reading, with one of her favourite things to do on holiday is to 'read a book or two'.
And her followers online rallied behind her after her confession.
One person wrote: "Love this. Thirties are great but your forties are even better. There is an inner freedom that seems to come with age if we embrace it.
"I will be 43 this year, I promise you.. it gets real interesting what you learn about yourself and stop worrying about!"
While another user said they also didn't want children, adding: "I always feel like I'm going to be judged for it."
And someone else cheered her on: "Good for you. Enjoy your life. I married a man at 28 who had three children ..we didn't have any."
