Despite being twice married, Carmen Electra has no children. She previously wanted to have kids but later revealed she was in no rush to conceive, especially after struggling to have a baby.
Carmen Electra, a former Playboy model and "Baywatch" star, once said she was looking forward to motherhood. Although her two marriages did not give her children, she is a proud mom to her fur babies.
The actress has been seen walking her dogs and sometimes posts about them on social media. She joins the many proud fur moms in Hollywood and worldwide.

Carmen Electra's Marriage to Dennis Rodman
After nine months of being in love, Electra married basketball star Dennis Rodman at a Las Vegas chapel in 1998. Although eleven years his junior, Electra was overjoyed to find a man who treated her well.
The couple only paid $35 for their wedding's paperwork before heading to the chapel. They also requested for the location's video recorder to be switched off to keep the ceremony private and personal. Unfortunately, when news of their wedding circulated, many doubted its legitimacy.

Dwight Manley, Rodman's agent, questioned the athlete's state of mind when he exchanged his vows and the legality of their wedding. "From what I can determine, it's not legal," he remarked, adding that Rodman's partying the day before may have clouded his mind. However, Rodman superseded his agent's statement and said:
"I apologize for any false statements given on my behalf regarding my marriage to Carmen Electra. I love Carmen and am proud to be married to her."
Their marriage did not last long, as Rodman filed for annulment to end things. The model and actress's publicist revealed the choice to separate was mutual. Proceedings were made easier as the two did not have children.
Carmen Electra's Marriage to Dave Navarro
Despite her separation from Rodman, Electra didn't give up on love. In 2000, the actress met singer-songwriter Dave Navarro, and at the time, the pair shared a mutual pain — her mother died of brain cancer, and his from a tragic murder.
MTV's "Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen & Dave" showed the world their love story until their wedding. Unfortunately, their marriage was short-lived. After two years, Electra and Navarro called it quits, allegedly due to schedule conflicts. A source said:
"They're both heartbroken, but they still love each other. The reality of it is that they're better off as friends."

The couple also struggled to have children because their busy schedules constantly clashed. Despite their separation, the two had nothing but kind words for each other, revealing they continued to support each other.
Navarro revealed they still loved each other and would always be best buddies. He further remarked that they supported each other through the challenging period, a sentiment Electra later repeated.
Carmen Electra's Kids Are Her Dogs
In 2008, Electra talked about having children, claiming she was in no rush to become a parent. However, she did hope to become a mother someday. At that time, she was engaged to guitarist Rob Patterson.
The Hollywood star even mentioned she would support her children's decision, whether it is to join show business or date a rockstar. As she came from a family of musicians, it would be an injustice on her path to stop her children from towing that line if they wanted to.
Although she has yet to have kids, Carmen Electra, who reportedly had a fling with Simon Cowell, became a fur mom to her dogs. She had a white Pomeranian named Roxy and a Yorkshire Terrier named Daisy and was photographed on a walk with them. Unfortunately, she revealed on Facebook in 2018 that her dogs had passed away the previous year.
