šŸ’” ā€œI’D LIKE TO HAVE CHILDRENā€¦ā€ — SUZY EDDIE IZZARD’S EMOTIONAL CONFESSION ABOUT FAMILY, LOSS AND HOPE 😢✨

It’s a rare glimpse into a deeply personal side of a comedy icon.

Suzy Eddie Izzard has opened up about something far beyond the stage — revealing her quiet wish to one day have children… while reflecting on a childhood marked by loss.

And her words?

Honest. Raw. Unexpected.


🧠 A LOSS THAT SHAPED EVERYTHING

Suzy Eddie Izzard has revealed that she would like to have kids one day as she opened up about her mother's tragic death when she was a child

Suzy lost her mother when she was just six years old — a moment that would leave a lasting imprint on her life.

Her mum, Dorothy, passed away from cancer.

Too early.
Too suddenly.

And for a child…

Too much to understand.


šŸ’¬ ā€œI STOPPED CRYING AT 11ā€

In a striking admission, Suzy revealed she learned to shut down her emotions at a young age — particularly during her time at boarding school.

ā€œI stopped crying… as a survival thing.ā€

It wasn’t healing.

It was coping.

But years later, she realised something had changed inside her.

Something deeper.


āš ļø ā€œI WAS DEAD INSIDEā€

Suzy said she would like to have children but said despite having no close family she 'doesn't feel grief' much anymore

At 19, Suzy had a moment of clarity that shook her.

Seeing something tragic — and feeling nothing.

ā€œI thought… I’m dead inside.ā€

And in that moment, she made a choice:

To feel again.

To break open what had been buried for years.

To face the grief she had once pushed away


šŸ‘¶ A HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

The stand-up comedian, actor and activist, 64, was speaking on the latest episode of the I'm ADHD ! No You're Not podcast with comedian Paul Whitehouse and his wife Dr Mine Conkbayir

Now, at 64, Suzy is looking ahead.

And despite everything, one wish remains:

ā€œI would like to have children.ā€

It’s not something she’s actively pursuing right now.

But it’s there.

A quiet hope.

A possibility she hasn’t closed the door on.


ā¤ļø LOVE — COMPLICATED, BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE

Suzy also spoke candidly about relationships — acknowledging that dating can be complex as a trans woman.

But she hasn’t lost faith.

ā€œIf someone comes along… and we click, absolutely.ā€

She’s not chasing love.

But she believes it could still happen.


🌿 Finding Peace in Herself

During the chat Suzy said she would like to have children but said despite having no close family she 'doesn't feel grief' much anymore

For now, Suzy says she’s content.

Comfortable in her own company.

Not searching desperately… but open to what life might bring.

And that sense of peace?

It’s something many spend a lifetime trying to find.


✨ A Story Beyond Comedy

This isn’t about punchlines.

Or performances.

It’s about:

Loss.
Identity.
Healing.
And hope.


šŸ’– STILL LOOKING FOR MORE

Even after decades in the spotlight, Suzy Eddie Izzard is still evolving.

Still reflecting.

Still imagining a future that includes love… and perhaps, a family.


Because sometimes…

The most powerful stories aren’t the ones that make us laugh.

They’re the ones that remind us what it means to feel šŸ’”āœØ
