For a long time she kept the news private as she didn’t want it to affect how people treated her but now Tiffany Haddish has shared the heartbreaking news that she’s endured eight miscarriages.
“I've got a uterus shaped like a heart. It just won't keep anything in,” the 43-year-old actress told The Washington Post.
The Like a Boss star says she kept the news to herself as she didn't want to create a fuss.
“I didn’t want people saying, ‘Are you OK? Are you alright?’ Like a wounded animal, I just rather go in a cave by myself. Lick my wounds.”

It's not the first time she's spoken about her fertility struggles. In a previous interview on Rachel Bilson’s Broad Ideas podcast, Tiffany described the miscarriages as “painful as a motherf****r”.
“I feel like a piece of my soul died every time,” she said. “I don't know if I'm capable [of carrying a baby].’”
She said she’d struggled with endometriosis and “misdiagnosis and all that stuff” but she still hadn't given up hope of one day becoming a mother.
Last year the actress and comedienne, who is set to star in the upcoming sequel Girls Trip 2 alongside Jada Pinkett Smith and Queen Latifah, decided to explore a different path, telling E! News’ Daily Pop that she was looking at adoption. Tiffany had taken parenting classes but admitted she's “not sure” if motherhood is for her.
Her last serious relationship was with rapper Common. They dated for a year before splitting in 2021 – a decision he said was mutual at the time, but which she now says is untrue.
“It wasn’t mutual,” she told The Washington Post. “It was more him saying, ‘I think this relationship has run its course’. And I was like, ‘OK. Like you gonna be a 50-year-old single man? OK’.”

“I’m a pretty positive person, and I’m here to have an experience,” she added. “I would love to have a partner to experience it with. But also, I guess, I’ve been alone for so long. And so used to being abandoned, I expect it. Which is sad, right?”
Although she was heartbroken by the split, she called the relationship the “healthiest and funniest” she’s ever had.
Tiffany was married to army veteran William Stewart from 2008 to 2013, a relationship she once described as being fraught with mental and physical abuse.
