“My number is in my bio. We are freezing my eggs and figuring out what to do to give Gene a sibling,” she added. The I Feel Pretty actress received an overabundance of support from fans and fellow celebs alike, including Selena Gomez. In the act to show her backing, the Lose You to Love Me singer wrote: “Let me clear that up. I said I’m sorry she’s feeling that way. My mom went through the same thing. It’s hard on women’s hearts.”

Her comment came after a first mention in which she said, “I’m praying for you and Chris. I’m sorry!” Social media users were quick to notice her words and comment their thoughts – hence why she then felt she needed to clear things up and explain her mother went through the same process.
