Eve Opens Up About Motherhood Fears And Why Her Psychic Fired Her As A Client

Eve just released her memoir, Who’s That Girl?, and is reflecting on significant moments in her life. The rapper and actress began her ascension to stardom as the first lady of Ruff Ryders, a rap label and group that consisted of the late DMX, Swizz Beats, and more.
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.”

Swipe Right For Sisterhood: Reginae Carter Talks Teaming Up With BLK To Make Friendships Front & Center
You know the vibes: dating apps aren’t just for finding romance anymore—at least not for Gen Z! As young people continue to redefine connection, BLK, the leading dating app for Black singles, is shaking things up with the launch of Social Mode. The new feature allows users to toggle between dating and platonic connections. Yep, you read that right—friendship is now just as easy to find as love.
To kick off this game-changing launch, BLK teamed up with TV personality and socialite Reginae Carter for the ultimate Girls’ Night In, proving that sisterhood is just as important as romance. The exclusive event was a celebration of the new feature and the power of Black women coming together to uplift one another.
“Your circle is everything,” Reginae shares with a smile, and she’s not wrong. She’s all about creating spaces where we can come together, let our hair down, and vibe with like-minded women. “We deserve spaces to meet, uplift, and vibe with each other. BLK is making that happen,” she adds.
A New Era for Friendships—Social Mode Is Here!
Gen Z is all about building meaningful connections, whether it’s with a date or a new brunch buddy. That’s why Social Mode is such a big deal. Research shows that 65% of Gen Z values friendships just as much as romantic relationships. With BLK’s new feature, users can easily toggle between “Dating” and “Social,” opening up a world of platonic connections—no swiping right required.

Reginae Carter Hosts the Ultimate Girls’ Night In—Powered by BLK Social Mode
What better way to show Social Mode in action than with an exclusive Girls’ Night In, hosted by Reginae? The event brought together top influencers, tastemakers, and press for a night of luxury, self-care, and real talk about love, sex, and relationships. From tarot readings to perfume-making and signature cocktails, the evening embodied the “soft life” vibe that many Black women are embracing in 2025—peaceful, intentional, and full of joy.
Guests mingled, laughed, and bonded over the importance of finding a tribe that supports you. It wasn’t just about fun (although there was plenty of that!)—it was about creating a circle of inspiring, strong women. “We need to stick together. We need to be each other’s village,” Reginae says, emphasizing the power of community over competition.
Sisterhood: The Real MVP
For Reginae, it’s all about friendship—and not just the surface-level kind. “We need friends who keep it real with us. The ones who can tell us when we’re right, when we’re wrong, and when we need to calm down,” she says. As someone who navigates the spotlight, she’s got the best of both worlds: friends who understand the grind and those who can give her an honest, grounded perspective.
Her advice for building strong, intentional friendships? “Be confident in yourself and know your worth,” she explains. “Also, hurt people hurt people, so make sure you’re coming from a good place when you’re building relationships. It’s not always about being nice—sometimes it’s about being real.”
Reginae couldn’t have summed it up better: “When you have the right circle, the right tribe, everything just feels easier. And that’s exactly what BLK is giving us—space to connect, laugh, and grow with each other.”
