Ultimately, the question of whether or not to become parents might have been what ended the couple’s 18-year relationship in 2015. According to a scoop published by the New York Daily News in 2015, one source disclosed that “[Jennifer Westfeldt and Jon Hamm] were definitely not on the same page” on the matter — and maybe never were. “They would talk about it and he always said ‘maybe,'” relayed another anonymous insider, “but last year [in 2014] it became ‘No, I don’t want kids.'”
It seems that it’s generally the stance Hamm has continued to hold since the breakup. In a 2016 exclusive with People magazine, the Mad Men actor more or less expressed the same sentiment — but also added some context. “I don’t know,” Hamm said at the time. “I don’t think [having kids is] necessarily an imperative.”
“I’m not going to [psychoanalyze] myself here, but… well, never say never,” he added before explaining his position has nothing to do with not liking children as a whole. “I’ve got nieces and nephews and I’ve been a teacher. I’ve probably been around kids a lot more than all my friends. I feel if you shut that off entirely you calcify. You turn into that guy.” So while he’s not that guy who can’t stand kids or is cold toward them, he just doesn’t have any of his own.
