On the February 18 episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Bozoma Saint John opened up about her fertility journey. She gave an in-depth explanation of what she went through during her pregnancy.
"The experiences of pregnancy have not been easy for me," the 48-year-old television star revealed.
"I got pregnant unexpectedly with my first daughter, named Eve. Five months into my pregnancy, I discovered that I had early stages of preeclampsia, a disease that creates high blood pressure and starts to attack your pregnancy."
Bozoma Saint John said after suffering from a high fever, which led to immediate hospitalization, she went into labor and delivery, but unfortunately, the baby didn't survive.
Bozoma shared a lot on the Tuesday episode of the show, revealing the anxiety she felt during her second pregnancy. A few days after her in-depth discussion on fertility issues, Bozoma had an exclusive talk with People, where she revealed that she felt apprehensive about her decision to share.
More details on Bozoma Saint John's decision to share her fertility journey
Bozoma Saint John had an exclusive talk with People on February 27, 2025, where she revealed she was a little bit skeptical about sharing her fertility journey with the public.
"The thing is that when you open yourself up in such a vulnerable way, people can have judgment on it — and so there's criticism. People say I'm too old or I've had trauma before. Why am I putting my health through this? Am I sure this man loves me?"
The mother of one revealed that she had always been wary of people's opinions, and so "it's been a very tough exercise" putting her experience out there. However, Bozoma adds that the feedback she gets from women who have gone through or are going through similar things motivates her to be so open about her own experience.
"Oh, that has been the best part, really, honestly. And it's the reason why I feel so comfortable in doing it — is that people have been so open about their journeys because I'm sharing mine. And that's what keeps me going."
In addition to expressing how she felt about her pregnancy journey, Bozoma Saint John also spoke to people about losing her home in the L.A. fire.
"I think people get confused because they're like, 'Oh, it's your second home and therefore it's fine. You should be okay because you have a place to live.' I'm like, 'Are you completely out of your mind?' It's my home. I worked for it. Nobody gave it to me."
