The 42-year-old actress has revealed she had her eggs frozen and undergone medical surgery in a bid to become a mother.
Rebel – who has lost around 20kg in 2020 – shared: “I had my eggs frozen and had three surgeries which is quite a lot.
“Then I found a donor and we made a plan for the embryos and I think at that point I had time to make a choice.
I think at that time I had 18 good quality eggs. But every day I got a new update from the lab on how it was going and there were only 7 eggs left and they had no viable embryos.”
Rebel remembers being devastated when her efforts turned out to be unsuccessful.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: “I’ve been through so much, I lost everything from the lab regarding how it was and there were only 7 eggs left and they had no embryos. viable”.
“A lot of women face this when they go through IVF or have similar journeys and it’s a difficult situation and you have to ask yourself if you can continue.”
Earlier this year, Rebel announced that she had welcomed a baby girl via surrogate.
The Hollywood star – who is in a relationship with stylist Ramona
Agruma – took to Instagram to announce the arrival of her first child.
In a heartfelt message, Rebel shared, “Very proud to announce the birth
