Celebrities Who Have Suffered Miscarriages

Miscarriages are more common than you might think: one in five pregnancies ends in miscarriage, and celebrities really are just like the rest of us when it comes to pregnancy loss, as fame is no protection from miscarriage. While it remains a taboo and private subject for many, these celebrities have opened up about their miscarriages, helping many of the rest of us to come to terms with ours. 

Beyonce and Jay-Z 

In January 2012, hip-hop’s royal couple Beyonce and Jay-Z welcomed their first child, daughter Blue Ivy Carter, into the world. But it was through his heartfelt tribute song, “Glory,” released two days after Blue Ivy’s birth, that it was revealed for the first time that the superstar mega-couple had previously suffered a miscarriage. “Last time the miscarriage was so tragic/ We was afraid you’d disappear/ But nah baby, you magic,” rapped Jay-Z.
