Summary
- Bareilles transparently reveals recent heartbreaks and fertility struggles.

- She has been trying to have a baby for three years with her husband.
Singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles is openly discussing her journey with fertility treatments in her latest album and documentary, titled "Good Grief." Bareilles, 46, candidly shared on the "Zach Sang Show" podcast that the fundamental question of whether she will become a mother has been a significant personal struggle.
She has been actively trying to conceive for approximately three years, a period she described as far more challenging than initially anticipated. Bareilles noted the difficulty in finding relatable accounts from others in the "messy middle" of fertility treatments, prompting her to share her own experiences.
Her new song, "Ladies in a Line," powerfully illustrates the emotional and physical challenges faced by women undergoing IVF, including the anxieties of uncertainty and the longing for good news. Bareilles, who married actor Joe Tippett in October 2025, finds herself in a state of surrender, acknowledging that this process is largely beyond her control.
As she continues to navigate this uncertain period, Bareilles contemplates how motherhood might influence her artistic expression, viewing the creation of life as potentially the ultimate act of creation.
