Kristen Wiig refers to motherhood journey via IVF as 'bittersweet'

Kristen Wiig recently spilled beans on her IVF journey. Recounting her struggles and complications associated with the procedure, she referred to motherhood as a “bittersweet” journey.

Conversing with The Hollywood Reporter, the 50-year-old actress talked about her journey with in vitro fertilization before the birth of their adorable twins in 2020.

She exclusively spoke of the procedure as a “struggle,” noting, "When you go through it, you meet other people who are going through it, and it's almost like this secret little — the whispering conversation at a party. It feels like not a lot of people talk about it."

Kristen, who prefers keeping her family matters discreet at best, revealed: "It is such a private thing, but maybe it doesn't have to be, it's part of my story and part of how I got my amazing family."

In a sit-down with InStyle back in 2020, the comedian revealed that she and her husband Avi Rothman tried IVF three years prior to surrogacy.

Wiig branded it a tough decision for her since she was determined to “get pregnant.”

"I remember when our doctor mentioned going other routes and I was just like, 'Nope. Don't ever bring that up again. I'm getting pregnant. I'm doing this,” the actress shared.

"I finally realized that I just needed help. And, thank God, we found the most amazing surrogate."

However, the mom of two admitted that “overall it was a very beautiful thing, and now that I’m on the other side, I wouldn’t have had it any other way,” she concluded.
