KZ Tandingan discussed the reason she is not yet ready to become a parent.
In an episode of the Time First podcast of SB19, KZ admitted that she wants to focus on her career at the moment.
"Mas ako 'yung mas ayaw pa... for now," she said. "I think I'm in my season of waiting sa career ko na parang ngayon, I am happy with where I am pero I am hoping na sana may mangyari pa na I have more songs, parang ganun."
KZ also stressed that she doesn’t want to rush into motherhood just because of societal expectations. "We are not saying we are closing the doors, but I am trying to take my time kasi I also don't want to force myself to become a mother just because I was pressured," she pointed out.
The singer further explained: "Ayaw kong dumating 'yung time na 'pag nabuntis ako, baka 'pag dumating na 'yung time na may anak na ako, I don't want to rob my child of the time that they deserve because gusto ko pang mag-work nang mag-work."
She also shared her fear of future regrets if she puts her dreams on hold. "Ayaw ko rin dumating 'yung time na baka 'pag hindi na ako mag-work, baka at the back of my mind may regret ako na hindi ko napaglaban 'yung career ko," she said.
The "Mahal Ko o Mahal Ako" hitmaker understands that one will never be ready as a parent. "But I don't think jumping into it just because of pressure is correct," she stressed.
Still, KZ acknowledged that if motherhood is God's plan for her, she will accept it wholeheartedly. "Kahit sabihin natin, ayaw pa namin, ayaw ko pa, 'pag binigay naman ng Panginoon 'yan, I believe it's meant to happen. Baka ako lang hindi pa ako ready pero kapag binigay ng Panginoon 'yan, then the Lord must think I am ready."
KZ is married to fellow singer TJ Monterde.
