Courtney Cox speaks about miscarriage heartbreak

In her role as neurotic chef Monica Geller in hit series Friends, Courteney Cox’s character battled fertility issues with on-screen husband Chandler Bing. But in real life, Cox would endure devastating fertility struggles too.

NZHerald reports how Courtney Cox has revealed one of the toughest things at the height of Friends fame of having to go to work each day and be funny for an audience, rather than address her heartbreak.

According to The Sun, following her marriage to David Arquette in 1999, Cox had seven miscarriages that were the result of antibodies attacking as her pregnancies tried to progress.

“I remember one time I just had a miscarriage and Rachel was giving birth. “Oh my God, it was terrible having to be funny.” She has gone on to speak openly about her experiences, sharing that: “I had a lot of miscarriages and I don’t think that’s something people shouldn’t talk about because it’s … unfortunate, but it happens. “I just think it’s important to get things out there so people can realise they’re not alone.”

Following two rounds of IVF, Cox gave birth to her daughter Coco in 2004 – the same year Friends wrapped.
