Adding to her worries, a detailed anatomy scan at the 20-week mark revealed “a lot of potential red flag markers” that caused the Golden Globe nominee further concern about the health of her unborn child. However, Michele did not receive confirmation that her child was healthy until very late in her pregnancy.
In May 2022, Michele spoke to US Weekly about becoming a mother saying, “Being a mom is one of the greatest gifts, and I love being Ever’s mom. It was so special making my lullaby album as a tribute to him.”
