In 2022, the “Shining Girls” star expressed her excitement to start a family. Speaking to Daily Mail’s You magazine, she said, “I definitely want to have kids because I’ve been very inspired by the kind of mother my mom is. She did a beautiful thing with me.”
Moss has been vocal about her 8-month marriage with Armisen, calling it a “traumatic” experience and expressing her gladness that she didn’t have children at the time.
“It was extremely traumatic and awful and horrible,” she opened up to Vulture magazine. “At the same time, it turned out for the best. I’m glad that I’m not there. I’m glad that it didn’t happen when I was 50. I’m glad I didn’t have kids. And I got that out of the way. Hopefully. That’s probably not going to happen again.”
