Eve spent years “in denial” about her ectopic pregnancy in 2006 — but now she’s sharing her story.

At the time, the rapper told everyone on the set of her “Eve” sitcom that she had appendicitis, she admitted in People’s Wednesday excerpt from her upcoming memoir, “Who’s That Girl?”

The actress recalled putting production on pause for two weeks while she underwent emergency surgery due to her “embryonic sac ruptur[ing] in [her] fallopian tube.”

Eve wrote, “I don’t know why I lied to everyone on set and said that my appendix had ruptured, really. Maybe because I was lying to myself.

“If I faced losing my baby, then I didn’t know if two weeks would be enough emotional healing time,” she continued. “In the end, it was barely enough healing time for me physically, before I was right back to work on set.”

The Grammy winner went on to describe the weight she lost after the procedure, calling herself “frail” and “in denial.”

She added, “Sometimes I did whatever it took to show up and get the job done … even if it was to my own detriment. For years, I never grieved losing my first baby. I didn’t know how to, but I eventually learned.”

Eventually, Eve began to “speak to that baby and acknowledge their existence,” in addition to forgiving herself.

“I had to … know that what had happened wasn’t my fault, that I deserved to be a mother, and that I was ready to bring a baby into this world down here,” she wrote.

While the former “Talk” co-host has never spoken publicly about her pregnancy loss, she did tell her husband, Maximillion Cooper, “when [they] got close.”

The pair started dating in 2010, getting engaged three years later.

When the duo walked down the aisle in Spain in June 2014, Eve became stepmom to Cooper’s four children — Lotus, Jagger, Cash and Mini.

In October 2021, Eve announced that she was pregnant with their first baby together, and their son, Wilde, arrived in February of the following year.

Before the infant’s 2022 arrival, the Daytime Emmy nominee struggled to conceive — which she told People left her questioning herself and her “body, the universe, God, so many things.”
