Maybe if I had kids, I would’ve had to have grown up.”Coolidge told the outlet she believes that her pattern of dating intense men was also a factor.“I’ve never had, like, a laid-back boyfriend that was just full of joy, you know?” Coolidge said. “Like, someone who laughs at all your shortcomings.

That’s never who I choose for myself.”Coolidge is in the midst of a career renaissance following the success of her HBO series “The White Lotus.” The actress, who played heiress Tanya McQuoid.in two seasons of the hit show, earned an Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award and two Tony Awards for her performance.The “2 Broke Girls” alum, who owns a home in New Orleans, said she is spending more time in Los Angeles amid her career resurgence.
