The “We are the Millers” actress said in an interview with Cosmopolitan in November that she had to freeze her eggs to ensure she could have children in the future.
“I was also terrified,” Roberts told the publication. “Just thinking about going through this and discovering, perhaps, that I wouldn’t be able to have children.”
“At 16, I thought, when I’m 24, I’m going to be married with kids. And then I was 24 and I was like, remember when I said I was going to be married and have kids now?” she remembered in the December-January cover story. “With work, especially with acting – travel, hours – it is not always conducive to establishing yourself in the traditional way.”
Before her disclosure, Roberts’ own mother Kelly Cunningham prematurely broke the news that her daughter was pregnant, which Roberts admitted in an October interview with Jimmy Kimmel that she ended up having to block her mother on social media because of of the gaffe.
