If there's one positive thing that the hellish year 2018 did bring, it was the fight to normalize infertility. The topic became far less taboo, and celebrities such as Gabrielle Union, Chrissy Teigen, and Kim Kardashian all revealed the many struggles they faced to achieve successful pregnancies. Well, now we have Kat Von D to add to the list of stars speaking out.
The conversation will forever be necessary.
Fertility issues in women is nothing new. However, when celebrities speak out about their struggles to get pregnant, it resonates even deeper.
Kat Von D is no different. She is the latest to share her hardships while trying to get pregnant with husband Rafael Reyes.
After posting a photo of her long-awaited son Leafar, Von D revealed to a fan that she and Reyes suffered two miscarriages beforehand.
The fan, who revealed that she may never be able to carry a child, was offered words of encouragement from Von D.
"Never say never," she said.
Von D's revelation comes on the heels of dozens of other celebrities sharing their stories of infertility.
And until now, we were completely unaware of the struggles she faced to get pregnant.
Von D didn't divulge any further details, but we're hoping her discussion about women and fertility doesn't stop here.
For now, baby Leafar is here and healthy, and we're more than thankful.
All while his mama has joined the fight in empowering women not to be ashamed of the issues that sometimes arise with having children.
This serves as yet another testament to no matter your social status, women everywhere are dealing with similar struggles when it comes to fertility.
Shoutout to Von D.
REAL celebrity vulnerability will always be appreciated.
