Sara Bareilles Shares She Had a Miscarriage Amid IVF Journey With Husband Joe Tippett
Bareilles said the loss and years of IVF struggles shaped her album and documentary, and she is considering an egg donor.
- Singer Sara Bareilles, 46, revealed in an interview published September 9 that she experienced a miscarriage earlier this year while undergoing fertility treatment. She documented the journey in her new album "Good Grief."
- Bareilles spent significant time in clinics for blood draws and hormone checks during her IVF attempts. She described the process as a "total sense of surrender and powerlessness" in a documentary that premiered at the Tribeca Festival.
- The "Love Song" hitmaker revealed that using an "egg donor" is the "next phase" of her family-building plans. Bareilles admitted she "really had to grieve" that her biological eggs would not be used.
- Despite the loss, the musician admitted feeling a small sense of "relief" as the current moment in her life "would be really, really, really hard" if she were pregnant. She is focusing on love as "big enough to hold a lot of shapes and sizes."
- Artistic expression helped Bareilles navigate her emotions, channeling struggles into her album while hoping her transparency brings comfort to others. She noted that sharing her story feels "freeing" and allows her to feel "more empowered with less artifice" after initially fearing public exposure.
