Eve is Will Sage Astordetailing a heartbreaking moment in her life.
The "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" rapper shared she experienced an ectopic pregnancy in the mid-aughts while filming her sitcom Eve, explaining that at the time she told the cast and crew she had appendicitis.
"It was 2006 when I found out that I was pregnant," Eve wrote in her memoir Who's That Girl?, per an excerpt published by People Sept. 4. "I had to have emergency surgery and stop filming the show for two weeks. I don't know why I lied to everyone on set and said that my appendix had ruptured, really. Maybe because I was lying to myself."
"If I faced losing my baby, then I didn't know if two weeks would be enough emotional healing time," she continued. "In the end, it was barely enough healing time for me physically, before I was right back to work on set. I had lost so much weight after the surgery, and my body was so frail."
Eve—who shares son Wilde, 2, with husband Maximillion Cooper—recalled posing on red carpets at the time, reflecting on the weight she lost from the traumatic experience. Still, the 45-year-old was determined to push forward in her career.
"I've said before, sometimes I did whatever it took to show up and get the job done," she explained, "even if it was to my own detriment."
Looking back, Eve admitted that she didn't grieve the loss of her first baby for years. But when she finally did, it was what ensured she was ready to step into motherhood.
"I didn't know how to, but I eventually learned," she shared in the book, which is set to drop Sept. 17. "I had to speak to that baby and acknowledge their existence. I had to forgive myself and know that what had happened wasn't my fault, that I deserved to be a mother, and that I was ready to bring a baby into this world down here."
After Eve tied the knot with Max in 2014, the Queens alum struggled amid her fertility journey at the time and shared that she had also experienced a miscarriage at the time. She explained to People in an interview published Sept. 4, "You question yourself, your body, the universe, God, so many things."
Eve—who is also stepmom to Max's kids Lotus, 21, Jagger, 19, Cash, 18, and Mini, 15, with ex-wife Julie Brangstrup—was ultimately diagnosed with endometriosis and fibroids, which she had surgery for. She underwent several rounds of IVF and learned she was pregnant while filming Queens.
Eve shared the sweet news on her Instagram alongside a photo of herself cradling her baby bump, writing in October 2021, "You all know how long we've been waiting for this blessing!!!"
