Bebe Rexha Shares Pregnancy Loss After Met Gala 2025 Criticism

Bebe Rexha Shares She Suffered Pregnancy Loss After Comments on Met Gala Appearance

Bebe Rexha is sharing a personal update amid criticism over her appearance at the 2025 Met Gala.

“I’m so tired of people commenting on my weight,” the Grammy nominee wrote in a since-deleted message on X, formerly Twitter, May 6. “I have PCOS and struggle with infertility.”

“I got pregnant, and it didn’t work out and I’ve been carrying that pain in silence,” the 35-year-old continued, adding that while she never owed anyone that truth, her message might have critics “think twice” before commenting on “anyone’s body.”

The “In the Name of Love” singer, who made her Met Gala debut on May 5 at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in a Christian Siriano look, also directly replied to Azealia Banks’ comments on X about her red carpet appearance before signing off with a message to fans.

“Ok I’m gonna go and enjoy my day now,” Rexha—previously linked to architectural engineer Simos Liakos and filmmaker Keyan Safyari—wrote in a follow-up post. “Have a good day everyone love you.”

Rexha has been very open about her journey with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)—a hormonal condition that impacts the function of a woman’s ovaries—over the years.

“Three weeks ago I was in urgent care,” she shared in a May 2024 TikTok. “I was in so much pain, my doctor thought it was appendicitis. But it was actually a cyst that had burst. I was sick to my stomach.”

 “The only thing that helped me,” Rexha added, “and I think you should try this if you have cysts, is a heating pad.”

Ok I’m gonna go and enjoy my day now ♥️
Have a good day everyone love you.

Despite her health struggles—and criticism from the internet—Rexha has tried to maintain a positive outlook.

“I know I’ve gained weight,” she wrote on Instagram in June 2023. “Humans go through fluctuations.”

“Not gonna lie it does suck and bother me when I read some comments but it comes with the territory,” the New York native admitted. “I’ve been learning not to judge myself and accept myself while also trying to make healthier decisions in my life. What I have learned though is numbers don’t define you, your heart does.”

Whitney Port

Since welcoming her son Sonny with husband Tim Rosenman in 2017, the Hills alum has been candid about the ups and downs of her fertility journey, including her two pregnancy losses and her surrogate’s two miscarriages.

In July 2024, Whitney confirmed she’s preparing for a second egg retrieval. 

After sharing that she and Tim had attempted surrogacy only for the surrogate to suffer two miscarriages, in addition to Whitney herself experiencing two pregnancy losses, Whitney confirmed in July 2024 she was preparing for a second egg retrieval. 

“I’m feeling definitely better than my last round because I know a little bit more what to expect,” she shared, “and I just have so much trust and faith in my doctor.” 

But no matter what happens in their journey to welcome a second child, Whitney has been clear there is nothing lacking in her family of three. 

“Especially now, as we embark on this fertility journey for number two, I know we are complete no matter what,” she wrote as part of a birthday tribute to Sonny on his 7th birthday in July 2024. “You are a blessing. We love watching you grow and are beyond grateful for how chill you are.”

Michelle Yeoh

The Everything Everywhere All At Once star—who married Jean Todt in 2023 after a 19-year engagement—once opened up about the challenges she experienced trying to conceive with her first husband, Dickson Poon. 

“I always wanted to have children,” Michelle shared during a podcast appearance in Nov. 2024. “I went and did fertility [treatments] to aid in the process. I think that’s the worst moment to go through is every month. You feel like such a failure.” 

She continued, “At some point, you stop blaming yourself. There are certain things in your body that don’t function in a certain way. That’s how it is. You just have to let go and move on.”

Eve

The rapper, who shares son Wilde with husband Maximillion Cooper, once detailed a heartbreaking pregnancy loss she experienced due to an ectopic pregnancy while filming her sitcom Eve.

“It was 2006 when I found out that I was pregnant,” Eve wrote in her memoir Who’s That Girl?. “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.”

Mary Bonnet

The Selling Sunset star, who welcomed her son Austin at the age of 15, has been candid about her and husband Romain Bonnet’s fertility journey. 

“We don’t know what the outcome is going to be,” she told E! News in Sept. 2024. “We’re just kind of taking it as it as it comes. I’ve been super busy right now with the book and with the season and everything. So, I know nothing’s going to happen if I’m stressed out and if I’m running around.”

And in addition to undergoing a surgery to rectify a septate uterus (when the uterus is divided into two parts by a membrane), Mary said she and Romain aren’t rushing into any decisions—and are happy with their dog.

“We have our fur baby though, Thor. Romaine is obsessed with him,” added the real estate agent. “So if it doesn’t happen, he says he’s OK. He’s got his little fur baby, and he is just beyond obsessed. We’ll be OK. What’s meant to be will be.”

Erin Andrews

The NFL sportscaster and her husband Jarret Stoll, who welcomed son Mack in July 2023, have had their own fair share of ups and downs amid their journey to parenthood—including navigating Erin’s cervical cancer diagnosis in 2017.

But having frozen her eggs before her cancer battle, she then underwent IVF to help her conceive a child—an experience she decided to share with the world. 

“I just was so tired of keeping quiet,” she explained of sharing her struggles in a 2021 essay. “It was such a hard, painful journey. I think I went numb through most of it, because you just feel like a robot and you’re on this really unfair roller coaster that more times out of none, you’re going to get really bad news.” 

She added, “I’m a vocal person, and I could speak from the heart and just talk about how crappy it was and that I get it for a lot of couples and families that are trying to have a child.”
