Though Rhimes does not want a husband, she isn’t averse to the idea of having kids. In fact, the showrunner is a mother to three children, all daughters.
Of the three children Rhimes has, the two older ones — Harper Rhimes (born 2000) and Emerson Pearl Rhimes (born February 1, 2012) — are adopted. Her youngest daughter, Becket Rhimes, was born in September 2013 via surrogacy.
Rhimes announced the birth of Becket via Twitter on September 19, 2013.
When talking about her children with Good Housekeeping, she revealed they were just all very stubborn.
They couldn’t be more different from one another, but they’re all stubborn — and I mean that in the best way. No one will ever take advantage of them. They will always go their own way because they have decided they’re going to.
Rhimes further added that she preferred having a stubborn girl over a nice one. She also shared that stubbornness was a trait her younger self also possessed back in the day.
