Shay Mitchell Prefers Partnership Over Marriage

Shay Mitchell, known for her roles in Pretty Little Liars and Baywatch, has expressed contentment with her long-term partnership with Matte Babel, stating she has no desire for marriage. The 39-year-old actress discussed this on Khloé Kardashian's podcast, "Khloé in Wonder Land." Mitchell explained to her two daughters, Atlas, 8, and Rome, 4, that while they are partners, a wedding is unnecessary for her. She noted that her children frequently inquire about her marital status, especially when witnessing others get engaged. Mitchell elaborated that she doesn't want the traditional narrative of finding a prince to be her daughters' sole story. She and Babel, 46, have been together since 2017 and welcomed Atlas in 2019, followed by Noa in 2022. Mitchell clarified that her decision is not a statement but rather a reflection of the life her children have observed. She affirmed that she does not need marriage to prove a point and finds happiness in choosing to be in her current relationship with Babel, acknowledging that things could potentially change in the future. New episodes of Khloé in Wonder Land are released on Wednesdays.
