  • She confirms undergoing IVF and other efforts to conceive and reflects that she wishes she had frozen her eggs earlier.
  • She describes long-running media claims that she was selfish or work-obsessed as hurtful and inaccurate.
  • She previously pushed back in a 2016 Huffington Post op-ed and later detailed her IVF experience in a 2022 Allure interview.
