Ina Garten’s life is a delicious one ― and as the β€œBarefoot Contessa” and cookbook queen, she never felt like she needed to have kids for it to be that way.

In a visit with Katie Couric for Couric’s podcast on Thursday, Garten opened up about her decision not to have children with her husband Jeffrey.

β€œWe decided not to have children,” she told Couric. β€œI really appreciate that other people do, and we will always have friends that have children that we are close to, but it was a choice I made very early. I really felt ― I feel ― that I would have never been able to have the life I’ve had. So it’s a choice and that was the choice I made.”

Never change, Ina.
