Ina Garten has no regrets on staying child-free: 'I love my life the way it is now'
“No hugs and kisses in my family,” she answered. “It was a very cold, lonely existence and I have to tell you, it took me till I was like 40 to understand that (my childhood) was different from other people’s childhoods.” Garten admitted that, as a child, she was unsure if her mother even loved her.
