Popular streamer Valkyrae opened up to viewers about her thoughts on having children of her own during a recent stream. The 30-year-old is currently of the mind that while she thinks she would be a good mom, she's too focused on working and her career to have kids.
One of the biggest names in streaming, Rachell "Valkyrae" Hofstetter has been on quite the career hot streak in the past year or so. The streamer became co-owner of 100 Thieves, modeled for athletic brand Gymshark on one of Times Square's largest billboards, and more.
During a YouTube stream of Valorant, Valkyrae goes over some of the reasons on why having kids isn't in the cards for her, at least not now. After initially joking that she should just "have a baby," the streamer leveled with her audience that her work schedule and her passion for it essentially leave no time to also become a mom. "I just love working. I just love being busy. I don’t know how I would just stop working to have a kid," Valkyrae said. “For me, the experience of raising a child would be, probably, too difficult.”
Valkyrae goes on to talk about overthinking some of the stressful decisions that would have to be made for a theoretical child, like deciding on whether to have them attend a public or a private school. She also squirms at the idea of giving birth. Having a kid or not aside, the streamer has also been stressing about her love life in general. Earlier this year, Valkyrae discussed why she's scared of revealing her dating app stories, fearing some overzealous fans may try seeking her out. Her concerns are not unfounded, with female streamers being particularly subject to harassment.
The streamer in particular is right to be withholding about details in her personal life, considering Valkyrae's creepy stalker situation. In an interview with YouTube star Anthony Padilla, Valkyrae revealed a stalker had flown in from another state to 100 Thieves' headquarters in Culver City, California, expecting a warm welcome from her. After the unsuccessful attempt, the stalker then spent several days at LAX, making videos stating they wouldn't leave until they've met Valkyrae.
While the streamer's various concerns are certainly valid, many fans are just glad to see her make a return to regular streaming. Valkyrae had said she's taking a "very long" break from streaming a few months ago - which appears to be at least partially over - something her fans have been waiting for.
