Sandra OhOver the course of her career, she has played many iconic roles. Christina Yang, the iconicly tough actress from the long-running drama. Grey’s Anatomy, to Eve Polastri at the popular Killing EveWe all share a love of Sandra Oh and her many characters. Most recently, she took on another role as Dr. Ji-Yoon Kim in Netflix’s dramedy series, The Chair. Oh’s acting abilities have skyrocketed her to star status. But, she’s managed to do something that few stars can: she keeps her private life private. Fans are left wondering about her private life. So what made Sandra Oh not have children?
Sandra Oh Was Previously Married To Screenwriter Alexander Payne
Sandra Oh is a master at keeping secrets in her private life. However, in 2003, Oh’s new husband was revealed to the public. Oh’s new husband was Oscar-winning filmmaker, Alexander Payne. And, while they’d kept it a secret all along, the couple had been dating for five years before they made things official. However, their marriage didn’t last long. According to rumors, they split in 2005 and spent the next two year dividing their assets. They divorced in 2007.
Despite her anonymity, Oh has had several famous beaus since her divorce. The HereafterAndrew Featherston is a member of the band, as well as Lev Rukhin, the photographer. According to Marie Claire’s 2019 interview with Oh, “She’s in what appears to be a loving, committed relationship. (Oh is fiercely private, and her publicist would confirm only that she’s had a boyfriend for a few years.)”
She Doesn’t Have Kids
Lots of people are choosing to be child-free these days, and that’s making the choice more normalized than ever. Still, this doesn’t stop people (women, in particular, of course) from getting the “when are you having kids?” question. Marie ClaireShe was asked if she had ever considered becoming a mother. She replied, “I went through that period, I’d say in my mid to late 30s into 40, where it was like, I make a great living and I could do this on my own, and I didn’t. I have an extremely fulfilling life as an aunt, not only to my nieces and nephews but also to a lot of my friends’ children.”
Her famed “The Famous” Grey’s Anatomy character, Christina Yang, had similar views, in one episode, plainly stating, “I don’t want to be a mother.” Like Christina, Oh is excelling at her career and feels fulfilled and balanced sans children. According to Oh, “I know a big part of my job is to rest. You see what I mean? You can’t rest if you have a lot of output. And if you’re not balanced, you’re an asshole.” She’s definitely got it all figured out, and we can’t wait to see what character she brings to life next.
