Chelsea Clinton admits to talk show host Rachael Ray that her political parents, Bill and Hillary Clinton, are pressuring her to have a child.
In an appearance on “Rachael Ray” airing Friday, Clinton admits her parents have expressed “completely unapologetic” pressure, while the family of her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, is letting the couple plan children on their own time.
“My husband has 10 brothers and sisters, so we have 18, almost 19, nieces and nephews, so there’s not pressure from that side of the family,” Chelsea said. “But from my parents there is completely unapologetic pressure. In private and in public. If one of my parents were sitting here, they would tell you without blinking an eye that it would make them the happiest thing on earth if I were to make them grandparents, and they would say it so effusively, and I would feel a little bit of pressure.”
Chelsea talked to Ray about her work with the Clinton Foundation’s Alliance for a Healthier Generation, as well as her life before Mezvinsky. When asked whether or not her first kiss was at the White House, the former first daughter admitted it was “in the boy who was going to become my boyfriend’s basement.
“It was when I was living in the White House. I lived there from the ages of 12 until 20, so I would hope that somewhere in that time I would have had that right of passage,” Chelsea admitted. “But it was not actually in the White House.”
