Tracee Ellis Rossis living her life to the fullest.
“It’s sort of fascinating to be 45 and single and childless,” the actress said in a newIn Styleprofile.
“Happily single, I should add,” she shared. “Not at home crying about it.”

“These are very big and very personal questions that aren’t anyone’s business but that somehow, like the right to choose, become fodder for public conversation. Some of the ability to reflect on what I really want comes from pushing up against a society that shames me for not having the expected trappings,” she told the outlet.
“I’m very pleased with my existence these days,” she added.
While she’s happy being alone, she hasn’t been spared of loneliness. Still, she believes she’d experience those emotions even if she had a partner.
“Have I had to learn to make friends with loneliness? Yes,” she admitted. “I think if I were in a relationship, it would be the same.”
Not only she is embracing her singleness, but Ross iscelebrating the body that she hasand the woman that she is.
For her 40th birthday celebration five years ago, Ross rented out a theater, filled it with her friends and undressed down to her bra and underwear. She then pointed out the bodily features she disliked.
“I felt like I needed to embrace those parts, and love those parts of me because they were all a part of me and they were beautiful and I have a lot of pride in it,”Ross explained at Chico’s #HowBoldAreYou eventat Joe’s Pub in N.Y.C. in March.

Now, in her mid-forties, Ross said thatshe feels“the sexiest and the most beautiful that I’ve ever felt.”
“I don’t say I look my most beautiful, I FEEL my most beautiful and that’s what’s really important to me and I talk a lot about it,” she said.
She also shared that she has finallybecome the womanshe wanted to be as a child.
“You know as a young girl, I had this woman that I dreamt of being, right?” she said. “And I had her in my head and I would play around with being her in my bedroom and with certain people, but the gift of age is that you actually get to have the boldness and the courage to be that woman, to be that person and I’m experiencing it now and some of the things I’ve discovered in knowing myself is that I actually like myself.”
