Heart Evangelista shared a deeply emotional journey during the latest episode of her show, Heart World, reflecting on the heartbreak of her miscarriages and struggles with conception.
The actress and global fashion icon revealed that she first became pregnant in 2018, three years after marrying Senator Chiz Escudero. She was carrying twins, but her joy was short-lived as she experienced Vanishing Twin Syndrome.
“Two months in, the doctors found out that one of the twins was slowly disappearing,” Heart shared. “I didn’t really care at that time, basta aalagaan ko ‘yung bata,” she added, holding on to hope for the surviving twin.
However, at four months, her ultrasound revealed no heartbeat. Heart described the experience as traumatizing, leaving her hesitant to try for another baby for years.
“I can say this now without crying kasi tumibay na ang loob ko, but it was very traumatizing. After that, I didn’t want to have a baby for a long time,” she said.
Heart also opened up about her struggles with fertility as she got older. Despite undergoing treatments, the couple faced more losses, including their last remaining embryos through surrogacy.
“Medyo masakit kasi iniisip ko, boy and girl ‘yun, last girl ko na ‘yun,” she said, recalling the pain of losing another baby.
Though she remains open to the possibility of having a child, Heart expressed a mix of acceptance and heartbreak over her journey. “For me, that was my last try,” she said.
