As a rap artist, she released many hit songs, including “Love Is Blind,” “Let Me Blow Ya Mind,” and “Who’s That Girl?, which is also the name of her memoir. Throughout her lifetime, fans have watched her go through many transitions like acting, starring in the Barbershop franchise and even having her very own sitcom, Eve.
And now she is a mom and living across the pond in the UK with her husband, Maximilian Cooper, and family. As a first-time mom, she had a lot of fears she had to overcome, especially after dealing with an ectopic pregnancy in her younger years. She opened up about it during her visit to The Breakfast Club.
“I had this ectopic pregnancy when I was on my sitcom that I never told anybody about, and I actually did not even recognize it until I was ready to get pregnant with my kid,” she revealed. When she was pregnant with her son, Wilde Wolf, Eve shared that she was always nervous that she would lose her baby.
“I was anxiety master level when I was pregnant on the set of Queens because I was like, here it is, I’m working, which is great, and I’m so grateful and blessed, but is it to the detriment of my kid? Like, am I gonna lose this baby?”
She even got emotional as she shared that she was afraid that she wouldn’t connect with her son after being told that it could sometimes happen. “I just thought, possibly the way that I grew up, that I won’t be,” she admitted.
The “Gangsta Lovin’” artist even shared her vulnerability with using alcohol to cope with anxiety and how a DUI and her psychic at the time letting her go as a client made her face her issues.
“I would call her for everything because I didn’t trust myself, and one day, she fired me,” she recalled. “I called her, and she was like, no, you’re depending on me for too much. She was like, I have to let you go.
She continued, “At one point, I called her and I was just in this dark place, and she was like, you know what you need to do. I am not responsible for you. You have to figure this out. And this was during that time, the DUI, it was all that shit where I was just trying to figure shit out.
“At the end of the day, you cannot look outside yourself. It does not matter who it is or what they do. You have to look within.”
