Shay Mitchell and boyfriend Matte Babel aren't planning to tie the knot! Mitchell gave birth to the couple's daughter Atlas just seven months ago, and has been spending time with her family during quarantine.
But as the actress revealed in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight's Katie Krause, getting married isn't something that seems to be in their future plans... because it's not something Mitchell wants!
Mitchell explains that marriage is "just not something I care for"
Mitchell admitted that while she enjoys the idea of weddings, marriage just isn't for her. "A lot of people ask, it's never been something I really cared for," she told Entertainment Tonight. "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." She even made sure that Babel knows she's not interested in a proposal!
"He's been like, 'You sure?' And I'm like, 'Yeah, we work so well right now,'" Mitchell revealed. "It's great and this dynamic just works for us. It may not always be the correct way but it works. That's how I sort of have to go, you know, that's how I do it."
Mitchell says Babel is "already wrapped around" daughter's finger
Mitchell opened up to Entertainment Tonight about what it's like raising daughter Atlas together with her boyfriend. "It's so much fun to see how already wrapped around her finger he already is," she said of the two.
"I mean, Atlas has these little hands but let me tell you, he's all around them. He can't say 'no' already and I'm like, 'I told you so.' It's a special relationship and it's so nice to see it grow."
Mitchell talks about co-parenting daughter Atlas with Babel
Mitchell mentioned that she and Babel have established a solid parenting routine. "I'll feed her and then he's got the nighttime shift. We've just been switching off like, literally, a team of players," she told Entertainment Tonight.
"I'm grateful to have this time as a family right now. ...There are great days and not so great days, but we need them all to appreciate the other ones." The actress also shared her daughter's first word!
"She's not talking yet but her word right now is wow," Mitchell said. "This is embarrassing. I don't know if it came from that TikTok dance. ... She may or may not have heard that quite often. But every time she's like, 'wow,' and it's the funniest thing. I can be doing anything and I get a wow from her. She's obviously impressed."
She apologizes and listens!
He has aged like a fine wine!
