Joy Taylor has opened up about the future she sees for herself — and it doesn't involve her having kids.

In a recent episode of her podcast, Two Personal Show, Taylor and her guest, Kendra G, discussed the concept of building a legacy by having children.

While the sports commentator confessed that she does "love children," she said she doesn’t "want to have them" herself.

"I think it's great to have children," she explained. However, after sharing that she thinks "it's great to want a legacy," she quickly changed her mind, saying: "That's not true. I think legacy is silly."

"I think it's great to want a family and to pass things on and recipes and all that. I think all this stuff is great. It's not for me," Taylor explained. "And I think that if you aren't actually building a family and you're just making children so that in your brain your genes live on because you think you're special, it's fucking nuts. That is not a legacy. And it's total bullshit."

Elsewhere in the episode, she doubled down by saying there’s a "very big difference" between "starting a legacy" and "making humans."

"I think we as humans have this incredibly elevated godlike mentality of ourselves that we are just going to be remembered for generations, and our power is going to get passed, and five generations from now they're going to be talking about Grandma Joy," she said. "They're not going to be talking about you. They don't care. … Maybe one person will say your name in 200 years. … That doesn't matter. That's okay."

Taylor has provided a lot of hot takes on love, dating, and sex as of late.

Earlier this year, the former Fox Sports host sat down with Paul Pierce and Azar Farideh on The Truth After Dark podcast, where she discussed being open to dating elderly men. "If you see me pull up with a 70-year-old, don't ask any fucking questions, okay. He's got a plane. I'm doing this for all of us."
