The news was met with cheers and applause from the studio audience and co-hosts alike, as Liz beamed with pride and relief. The 43-year-old admitted the road to pregnancy hasn’t been easy, and she had previously kept her struggles private.
“I didn’t talk about it before,” she shared. “I wasn’t sure if it was something I could ever experience. So now that it’s happening, I’m just so grateful.”
Fans and fellow celebrities have rushed to social media to offer their congratulations and support. Many praised Liz for her honesty and bravery in speaking out about pregnancy loss, helping to shine a light on a subject that still carries stigma and silence for many women.
The singer, who shot to fame as part of Atomic Kitten in the early 2000s, is best known for chart-topping hits like Whole Again and The Tide Is High. Over the years, she’s also built a loyal fanbase as a solo artist and TV personality.
Now, she’s embracing a brand-new role, motherhood, and says she’s ready for the wild ride ahead.
No word yet on baby names, but fans are already suggesting "Kitten-themed" options in the comments.
