Elisabeth Moss Opens Up About Heartbreaking Miscarriage: “I Lost My Pregnancy”
In a deeply personal and emotional statement, award-winning actress Elisabeth Moss has revealed that she recently experienced a miscarriage, sharing her story to shed light on a topic many women face in silence.
Known for her powerful roles in The Handmaid’s Tale and Mad Men, Moss took to a fictionalized interview setting to express the emotional toll the loss has had on her, saying, “This is not something I ever imagined myself talking about publicly. But I feel it’s important to be honest, especially if it helps even one other woman feel less alone.”
Moss had kept her pregnancy private, only disclosing it to close friends and family. In the interview, she shared that everything seemed normal in the early stages, and she had just begun to embrace the joy and hope of motherhood when she received the devastating news during a routine check-up.
“I remember the silence in the room,” she said. “The doctor paused, and I just knew something was wrong. My heart sank before the words even came out of her mouth.”
She described the following days as a blur of shock, grief, and emotional numbness. “You imagine a future, and in one moment, that vision is gone,” she shared.
While Moss is widely admired for portraying strong, resilient characters on screen, her real-life vulnerability resonated with fans and advocates. “It’s easy to show strength on camera,” she said, “but true strength is found in the quiet moments—when you cry, when you heal, when you keep going.”
Elisabeth also spoke about the importance of removing the stigma around pregnancy loss. “It happens more than people realize,” she said. “It’s not shameful. It’s not something to hide.”
Though still grieving, Moss expressed gratitude for the support of her loved ones and emphasized that she’s taking time to heal physically and emotionally. “This has changed me,” she said. “But I still believe in hope, in healing, and in the possibility of happiness ahead.”
