The daughter of actress and Motown recording artist Diana Ross and Robert Ellis, she is single and does not have kids.
Speaking at Glamour’s 2017 Woman of the Year Summit, Tracee Ellis Ross addressed the societal pressures and misconceptions faced by a woman like herself who is unmarried and childless. She highlighted the unhelpful and endless comments and questions about her personal life, especially contrasting with her character on “Black-ish,” who has five children.
“It’s really interesting to be a woman and to get to 45 and not be married and not have kids,” she said while delivering a speech at Glamour’s 2017 of the Year Summit.

“Especially when you have just pushed out your fifth kid on TV. You start hearing crazy sh-t like: ‘Oh, you just haven’t found the right guy yet,’ ‘What are you going to DO?’ ‘Oh, you poor thing,’ ‘Why is someone like you still single?’ ‘Have you ever thought of having kids?’ ‘Why don’t you just have a kid on your own.’ It’s never-ending and not helpful.”
“And then someone tells me about their friend who adopted a child at 52 and how ‘it’s never too late for your life to have meaning,’ and my worth gets diminished as I am reminded that I have ‘failed’ on the marriage and carriage counts,” Ross added. “Me! This bold, liberated, independent woman.”
“So here I am sorting out what MY LIFE looks like when it’s fully mine,” the Black-ish star continued.
“It takes a certain bravery to do that. It means risking being misunderstood, perceived as alone and broken, having no one to focus on, fall into or hide behind, having to be my own support, and having to stretch and find family love and connection outside of the traditional places. But, I want to do it. I want to be the Brave Me, the real me, the one whose life is my own.”

Tracee Ellis Ross won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy for her role as Rainbow Johnson in ABC’s “Black-ish,” outshining fellow nominees like Gina Rodriguez from “Jane the Virgin” and Rachel Bloom from “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.”
The actress, who attended the star-studded event for the first time, was thrilled to be the first woman of color to take home the award in that category since Debbie Allen won for Fame in 1983. She also dedicated the win to all “women of color and colorful people.”
This is for all the women, women of color, and colorful people whose stories, ideas, thoughts are not always considered worthy and valid and important. But I want you to know that I see you. We see you.
Unfortunately, the “Body Strass” pumps are no longer available online. However, a similar style is available at Nordstrom.
