Angie Kent Always Knew She’d Be A Solo Mum

January 25, 2026·1 hr 1 min·4 clips

Angie Kent reveals she always knew she'd be a solo mum — and she's not waiting for anyone.

Angie Kent says the knowing has been there for years. Kate Langbrook brings her back through the long stretch since 2019, the public love story after The Bachelorette, and all the private work that came after. Plenty has changed. Angie has moved into a yurt, looked hard at the shape of her life, and decided to talk openly about IVF and solo motherhood. The conversation is intimate, not polished into some victory speech. Kate lets it sit with modern motherhood, partnership, autonomy, and the instinct Angie says she has carried for a long time. Love still matters. Asked who she would date now, Angie does not give a tidy type. She talks more about a feeling: safety, bravery, laughter, silliness, and enough room for chaos. She is frank about connection. Man, woman, non-binary and transgender people are all named as possible partners, because Angie seems less interested in category than in ease. Then Kate turns the conversation. She notices Angie’s nurturing side and asks when that became the choice to have a baby on her own. Angie answers plainly. Close friends and family, she says, know she has long felt she would have her first baby by herself. She was still open to partnership. The Bachelorette and dating were not proof against that instinct. They were part of the life she tried while the deeper certainty stayed where it was. The urgency is practical now. She is 36 next month, and waiting for a perfected version of herself starts to sound, in her own telling, like waiting forever. That is where the episode lands hardest. Angie is not pretending she has everything sorted; she says she keeps learning, becoming better, sometimes worse, then better again. Kate stays steady and warm. She names the public chapter, the inward chapter, and the new one, then gives Angie enough space to make the choice sound ordinary and huge at the same time. By the end, solo motherhood does not sound like a rejection of love. It sounds like Angie refusing to leave her own life waiting at the door for someone else to arrive.
