The Real Reason Why Shay Mitchell Won't Marry Her Boyfriend

While some fans hate the series finale of Pretty Little Liars, we're glad that Emily Fields and Alison DiLaurentis ended up together. But while Emily and Ali are raising cute twin babies, the path to motherhood wasn't smooth as "A" implanted Emily's eggs into Ali without consent. Pretty Little Liars fans were thrilled to learn that Shay Mitchell was pregnant, and in 2019, she gave birth to her sweet baby girl Atlas. Thankfully, Shay had a much better experience than her character Emily Fields and she's still dating her partner and baby daddy.

Fans want to learn all about Shay Mitchell's boyfriend Matte Babel, and while they've been together since 2017, wedding bells still aren't ringing for the couple. Does Shay Mitchell want Matte Babel to become her husband, or is she perfectly happy with the way that things are? Keep reading to find out the real reason why Shay Mitchell won't marry her boyfriend.

Does Shay Mitchell Want To Get Married to Matte Babel?

After saying goodbye to Emily Fields, Shay Mitchell played Peach on You, Stella on Dollface, and also became a mom. Shay is also a social media star and fans love seeing Shay Mitchell's Instagram outfits. But why isn't she married to her boyfriend?

Shay Mitchell talked about not marrying Matte Babel and according to Entertainment Tonight, the actress just doesn't want to get married. She's perfectly content to be in a serious relationship with her boyfriend and doesn't feel the need to tie the knot.

Shay said, "It's great and this dynamic just works for us" and mentioned that her boyfriend checked in with her to ensure that she wasn't secretly hoping that he would propose to her.

Shay also explained that just because she doesn't want to get married, that doesn't mean that she doesn't think that other people do. When talking about how much she enjoys attending weddings, she sounds like a total romantic: "A lot of people ask, it's never been something I really cared for. And I love weddings, love weddings. I can watch them all day long. I love attending, I love being a part of my friends' [weddings], anybody's to be quite honest. It's just not something I care for for myself and it's something that Matte and I have spoken about."

Many couples feel pressured by family or friends to get engaged, and people always wonder why people want to wait or don't want to get married at all. It's nice and refreshing to see that Shay Mitchell is carving out her own path and doing what feels right.

Shay Mitchell told E! News's Daily Pop that there is "no rush" to be married and that while people do follow the traditional timeline of getting married and then starting a family, she had a baby without being married to her partner.

Shay said it feels really awesome to be in a relationship without being married. Shay explained that she and Matte are totally happy with the way that things are: "There's no pressure here. I love it. I love the fact that we come home and every day I'm like, 'I choose you and you choose me.' It keeps us on our toes. I'm like, 'Hey, I can walk out. I don't need to go through a lawyer, I can just walk.' And same with him. It keeps it sexy. I think we both like it like this."

Shay Mitchell And Matte Babel Have A Baby Girl Named Atlas

After having her baby girl Atlas in 2019, Shay Mitchell has been very open about her experiences, and Shay believes that millennials should be honest about parenthood. In an interview with Fashion Magazine, Shay talked about how millennial parents are in a particularly tough position because of the comparison trap of social media.

It's really nice to hear a famous actress say this. While Shay may have millions of Instagram followers, she does sound really relatable when she talks about this.

Shay explained to the publication, ”We deal with comparing our everyday lives to other people’s highlight reels. Whether that’s being a parent or not, it’s something that my mom didn’t have to deal with. She wasn’t putting a photo up and then having a million people comment about whether she was doing it right or wrong.”
