Sunday, September 6, 2026 - Domino Kirke has opened up about the painful reality of grieving her second miscarriage, revealing that she was unable to fully process the loss at the time.
The singer and doula recently shared that she returned to supporting another woman through childbirth just days after experiencing a second-trimester miscarriage herself, even while she was still physically recovering.
Kirke said her instinct to care for others often came before her own needs, a pattern she now recognises had serious consequences. She explained that she did not truly confront the grief until months later, while teaching doula training.
The experience also placed enormous pressure on her marriage to actor Penn Badgley, with the couple having endured two consecutive miscarriages.
Her candid admission is now drawing attention to the emotional impact of pregnancy loss and the importance of giving people space to grieve rather than expecting them to immediately carry on.
Kirke and Badgley eventually went on to welcome their son in 2020 and twin boys in 2025, but her latest reflection shows that moving forward does not necessarily mean the pain disappears.
