Rachel Bloom on Daughter's Birth, Losing Pal Adam Schlesinger to Coronavirus: It Was 'Intense'



Celebrities Open Up About Being Pregnant During the Coronavirus Pandemic

Bloom told the outlet that she and Gregor couldn't even be in the NICU at the same time to see their daughter, given the rapid spread and seriousness of the virus in New York City.

"Everyone says, 'Oh you know, baby blues, you're crying a lot,' and it's like, yeah, I was crying a lot," said the Trolls World Tour voice actress. "I don't know if that was baby blues or grief, it's just a very, very atypical intense experience with the highest highs and like the lowest lows."

But now, "She's great," added Bloom. "We just had our big three-month checkup. She's growing. She's in the 70th percentile for height, which my husband and I are very short people, so we're hoping maybe she'll be tall."

Bloom announced the birth of her daughter on April 1, sharing that the family was "now home safe" following an "emotionally intense week" that included the baby's NICU stay.

"I am just so grateful to all of our medical workers," she wrote in addition. "From those in our NICUS to those directly helping COVID patients like Adam, they are sacrificing so much to fight on the front lines of this war."

Bloom also tweeted about Schlesinger the same day, writing, "I have so much to say about Adam Schlesinger that I am at a complete loss for words. He is irreplaceable."
