  • She reiterates prior disclosures that she underwent IVF and wishes she had frozen her eggs earlier, saying the process was a challenging road.
  • The actor says she keeps medical matters private and increasingly feels less need to correct false stories because her family and friends know her truth.
  • She explains that speaking out was also meant to support women navigating IVF and fertility struggles who felt unseen.
