Marques Houston has said women his age often come with ‘baggage and kids’

Marques Houston has said women his age often come with ‘baggage and kids’.

Houston now tells Page Six that women his own age came with too much “baggage.”

“A red flag to me [was] always with a woman that had a kid,” he said. “Nothing against single women, but single mothers with children are a red flag for me.”

The “Sister Sister” star met wife Miya Dickey in 2018 through a mutual friend.

“I tip my hat and respect women that are raising children on their own,” he told us. “But when I grew up, I never really wanted to have kids.”

“A red flag to me [was] always with a woman that had a kid,” he said. “Nothing against single women, but single mothers with children are a red flag for me. I tip my hat and respect women that are raising children on their own, but when I grew up, I never really wanted to have kids.”

He further explained, “I would talk to my dad a lot, and he would always tell me to have your own kids because you never know what the baby daddy‘s are about. So if you’re gonna have kids, make sure it is with a woman that never had kids. So that was always my red flag… and a woman with an attitude. I don’t like women with funky attitudes.” 

He elaborated, “I would talk to my dad a lot, and he would always tell me to have your own kids because you never know what the baby daddy‘s are about. So if you’re gonna have kids, make sure it is with a woman that never had kids. So that was always my red flag… and a woman with an attitude. I don’t like women with funky attitudes.” The former Sister, Sister actor went on to say women his age can also come with “baggage” that younger women don’t, and exhibit a certain level of independence that can make some men feel as if they’re not needed within the relationship.

“Women that are my age… they kind of have a different outlook on life. Like a lot of women my age are very independent. They are very like, ‘I don’t need a man to do this for me ’cause I can do it for myself.’ I come from a generation that I love to provide for my wife.”
