And if we don&#x27;t, then we don&#x27;t. So if I get pregnant, okay. And if not, then we continue living life,&quot; Megan shared.</p><p>Megan also reflected on how their views on having children have evolved.</p><p>&quot;My mindset then was yeah, it was normal for couples to get married and have kids,&quot; Megan recalled. &quot;To be honest, I really enjoy the life that we have together, that it&#x27;s just us. And I don&#x27;t know how ready I am to take on a big responsibility like that... I&#x27;m not sure yet, but I&#x27;m not closing my doors to it.”</p><p>She also admitted to her fears about motherhood, saying: “I guess I&#x27;m afraid of having complications for myself and for the child if ever we do get pregnant. My number one fear is getting sick or dying, honestly, from having a baby,&quot; she said.</p><div><strong><a>READ: Megan Young, Mikael Daez open to the idea of not having kids</a></strong></div><p>Mikael, for his part, emphasized the importance of being prepared in all aspects of life before having children.</p><p>“For me, for those feeling a bit of pressure, I think it&#x27;s okay to really take a step back and look at different points of view and have a real discussion with those who matter—your partner, possibly your family.
