The singer has faced enormous success throughout her decades-long career, but she has also experienced more than her fair share of heartbreak. Brightman always wanted to be a mother, but due to infertility, it just wasn't in the cards for her. While with her former partner, record producer Frank Peterson, Brightman suffered two miscarriages and went through four failed rounds of IVF. "It was an experience going through it all, but — talking about women in general, I think it's really important to try as hard as you can [for children]," she told The Telegraph in 2013. "I was upset, but then I went through this huge thing of relief of thinking: 'That's it.' There was no guilt there, there was nothing, so I'm fine about it now."
While Brightman has considered adopting children, she feels she's no longer "at that age," and said "I wouldn't feel right, that's for other parents to do who have more time to focus on something like that."
