Miscarriage is a common thing that can happen to anyone, even celebrities. In fact, 10 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriages, according to estimates by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Mayo Center. Still, there’s a stigma surrounding miscarriages that often makes women feel alone in their loss.
Celebrities aren’t exempt from this loneliness or depression either. Miscarriage is undoubtedly difficult for any hopeful mom, and that difficulty is heightened when the one who suffered the miscarriage is in the public eye. Still, it’s important to shine a light on the fact that miscarriages are not uncommon and that those who go through them are not alone. This is likely why these 10 celebrities bravely spoke out about their miscarriages to empower those have been through similar experiences. Read their stories, ahead.
Before welcoming her first child, Blue Ivy, in 2012, Beyonce was pregnant for the first time in 2011, though she sadly learned she lost the baby after a check-up found that there was no heartbeat. Along with channeling her brief through music, the singer opened up about the experience in her 2013 documentary, "Life Is But a Dream," in which she called the miscarriage "the saddest thing [she's] ever been through."
That same year, in an interview with Oprah, the Grammy winner explained why she decided to go public with her miscarriage.
“There are so many couples that go through that and it was a big part of my story,” she said. “It’s one of the reasons I did not share I was pregnant the second time, because you don’t know what’s going to happen. And that was hard, because all of my family and my friends knew and we celebrated. It was hard.”
Along with 5-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, Beyonce also recently welcomed two newborn twins—a son named Sir and a daughter named Rumi.

When Pink was pregnant with her first child—now 6-year-old daughter Willow Sage—in 2010, she said she was reluctant to talk about her pregnancy because of a former miscarriage. "I was just really nervous," she said on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." “I have had a miscarriage before.”
Since giving birth to a healthy daughter in 2010, Pink has also recently welcomed newborn son, James Moon, in 2016. In 2011, she opened up to People about how motherhood has changed her. "You hear people say it all the time, how life changes so drastically. But you can't possibly grasp how beautiful that is until you have your child," she said.

Christie Brinkley
Christie Brinkley revealed in a 1998 interview with Good Housekeeping that she's experienced three miscarriages, and what she learned from each of them. “After the first miscarriage, I tried to take the attitude that it was my body’s way of telling me that this pregnancy wasn’t meant to be, and that it was better for everybody,” she said.
She continued, "But after the second one, it was really devastating. Four months is a lot of living with that little life in you—thinking about it, eating right for it, nurturing it and all of a sudden, it dies.”
Since that time, the model has welcomed two children—19-year-old daughter Sailor and 22-year-old son Jack. She has another daughter, 31-year-old Alexa Ray, who she gave birth to before her miscarriages.

We tried four times to have a child," she said. "We’re still trying. We’re on the fifth try, and I’ll tell you, if five is my lucky number, this fifth try has got to come in.”
The "Titanic" singer currently has three children—6-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy, and 16-year-old son Rene-Charles.
