Rihanna told British Vogue that she plans to have "three or four" kids within the next ten years, with or without Mr. Right. The patron saint of singledom, who in 2015 iconically announced "I'm not looking for a man," told her Vogue interviewer that "hell yeah" she'd have kids on her own, even if she didn't find the right person to have them with.

"I feel like society makes me want to feel like, 'Oh, you got it wrong…,'" Rihanna explained. "They diminish you as a mother if there's not a dad in your kids' lives. But the only thing that matters is happiness, that's the only healthy relationship between a parent and a child." Preach!
