Maria Menounos: How She Responds to Pressure to Have Kids

Maria Menounos lives with her boyfriend of 16 years … and with her traditional Greek immigrant parents. Sound like a reality show? It is! On her new Oxygen series, "Chasing Maria Menounos," fans get an inside look at what it's like to be an untraditional gal with a very, very traditional family.

Maria's Greek father was originally against the idea of a reality show, but now sees it as a way to further his case for Maria to get married and give him some grandchildren. "They want us to have kids, and my dad is literally so excited about the show because it's his platform to prove to people that he's honest about it," Maria says. "Now everyone wants us to get married!"

Maria's facing pressure from both her parents and industry peers, who say having a baby will do great things for her professional life. She's not taking it. "I'm not looking to make a child for a career booster," Maria says. "You can't put that thing back in once you give it out! It's just not going to happen."
