Big Sean is getting candid about a difficult time.
The “Hate Our Love” rapper and his longtime girlfriend Jhené Aiko—who are parents to son Noah Hasani, 2—previously suffered a miscarriage, and he detailed the emotional time while issuing a heartfelt message to those who have faced similar experiences.
"So, to someone who is experiencing miscarriages, and I can only speak from a man's perspective,” Sean said on the Jan. 17 episode of the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast. “I can't speak for a woman, their perspective is the most traumatic, but I can say that, first of all, you're worthy. I don't want you to think you're not worthy."
"I don't want people to think that because they have a miscarriage that they're inadequate or that they're broke,” the 36-year-old continued. “I think that this life is complex, and there are things we do and don't understand, and I think there's beauty in everything that's meant for you."
Big Sean (real name Sean Michael Leonard Anderson) did not share the timeline of when Jhené—to whom he has been linked since 2016—lost their child. However, he did stress the importance of accepting the things that happen that are beyond control.
"You may get blessed with a child later on. You may get blessed with a child that comes into your life a different way," the rapper explained. "Sometimes we get so set on a goal, we don't keep the rest of our doors open, of how the universe could bless us in that way, to not only fill that void, but even make it even greater."
"So I just want to keep an open mind,” he noted. “But to anyone who does experience such an insufferable loss: Go through it, express yourself, deal with that grief, but don't let it consume you. Sometimes you got to go through it just to get to it."
Sean first spoke about the miscarriage in 2020 when he rapped about the loss of his and his Twenty88 collaborator’s baby on his song "Deep Reverence."
On the track, which features the late Nipsey Hussle, Sean rapped, “Should be a billionaire based on the time off I'm not taking / Probably why the s--t around me get crazy and we lost the baby."
However, two years later, Sean and Jhené, 36, also mom to Namiko Love, 16, with singer O’Ryan, welcomed their baby boy.
"After 24 hours of Labor, A Lunar Eclipse, with rain from the beginning of labor til he was born, he's here safe and sound," Big Sean announced in the November 2022. "Happy, Healthy and everything we could ever ask for and more. Any and everything for you Son. Noah 11/8/22."

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."
