• The couple discussed adopting about five years ago but decided against it because they felt the age gap would be too large.
• In a BBC Breakfast interview, Lancaster described self-administering IVF injections backstage at concerts, on flights, and at home, praising Stewart as patient and committed.
• Lancaster said her memoir recounts multiple sexual assaults and that she still experiences “triggers,” and she recalled not reporting a designer’s assault despite police encouragement.
