During a recently released interview with the Washington Post, Tiffany Haddish opened up about her attempts to birth a child. The actress recalled her conversation with a nurse that she recently had her eighth miscarriage. She said, "Well I'm going to be honest with you, this would be my eighth [miscarriage]."

"I've got a uterus shaped like a heart. It just won't keep anything in," the actress added.

Haddish shared that she's kept all her miscarriages private because she doesn't want people worrying unnecessarily about her. She stated, "Like a wounded animal, I just rather go in a cave by myself. Lick my wounds."

Haddish also revealed to the Washington Post that she's had parenting classes to prepare her for adoption. However, the comedian shared that she's still indecisive about actually becoming a mother.

In 2021, the "Night School" actress revealed to Entertainment Tonight that she was interested in adopting. However, Haddish shared that she prefers an older child, from five years old upwards.

She said, per Page Six, "I want to get somebody that … already knows how to use the restroom, already knows how to talk, already knows how to communicate. All I want to do is pour knowledge in … [and] get them ready for the big, bad world."

Haddish herself was in the foster care system as a child, so she understands the reality of adoption. She further said, "I really wanted to be a foster parent, but because I'm at a certain level of success, my lawyer suggested that it's probably best to just adopt, and I'm on that process now."

During her WaPo interview, Haddish also discussed her breakup with rapper Common two years ago. The actress called her ex-boyfriend out for saying their split was a "mutual" decision.

She said, "It was more him saying, 'I think this relationship has run its course.' And I was like, 'OK. Like, you gonna be a 50-year-old single man. OK?'" 

Haddish claimed that Common had begun icing her out of events before he ended their relationship, including his birthday party that year.

Despite their messy split, Haddish has said her time with Common was the "safest out of all the relationships [she's] ever had." She said they had "the healthiest [and] the funnest" romance and had learned a lot from their time.

Since the relationship ended, Haddish said she's remained "positive" and is waiting for a "partner to experience [life] with." However, she noted, "But also, I guess I've been alone for so long. And so used to being abandoned, I expect it. Which is sad, right?"

Haddish and Common's romance rumors first started in May 2020 after they attended several Zoom events together. The "Girls Trip" actress eventually confirmed their relationship in August of that year.

She appeared on an episode of Steve-O's podcast "Wild Ride" and said their relationship was the best she's "ever been in." Before Haddish confirmed they were there a thing, rumors of their romance had intensified. It became worse when the former couple collaborated with the popular dating app Bumble to promote virtual relationships during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The news of Haddish and Common's breakup became public in November 2022. During an appearance on "Hollywood Unlocked With Jason Lee," the "Glory" rapper said the decision was mutual. He added, "[We] came to the understanding that this is what's gonna be best for us."
