Tortorella has been previously open about the fertility journey the actor and Meyers have been through together. In an appearance on Spotify’sCall Her Daddypodcast with host Alex Cooper last September, Tortorella shared an update on trying to conceive.
“It’s a f—–g process. I just wished we learned more about howtoget pregnant and not about hownotto get pregnant. It’s terrible,” Tortorella said at the time.
“I’m in this place now with sex where I think it’s f—–g stupid,” Tortorella said with a laugh. “I love sex, don’t get me wrong; it’s such a beautiful thing, it’s an extension of love. But from a physical standpoint, this idea of just, like, a quick fix — it’s like getting high. It’s like getting off. I’m just living in a different, higher chakra, so to speak, right now.”

Tortorella added at the time, “I’m only having sex to get pregnant right now. And I haven’t had sex with a dude in two years. I haven’t had sex with anyone except for my partner since February of 2020. Which is strange. We have never been this monogamous and straight in the 15 years that we’ve known each other. It’s been a f—–g process.”
“I’m addicted and in love with the idea that I will have a child soon, and all of my energy is directed to that person.”
“It’s okay to put my, you know, ‘alternative’ sex life on hold for a minute,” said Tortorella. “It’s not going away entirely. … It bends and shifts.”
Tortorella previouslytoldEntertainment Tonightabout howYoungercostar and mom-of-three Hilary Duff partially inspired Tortorella and Meyers to want a home birth when the time comes.
“Hilary is such an incredible woman and the ways in which she has brought these children into this world are incredible. They’ve inspired how we want to have babies at home right in the little bathtub in the master bedroom with everyone else around,” Tortorella said at the time. “There is something so special about how she lives her life and how she carries people, quite literally.”
