Kirstie Alley

Kirstie Alley ties her 1990 miscarriage to her years-long battle with her weight. In her 2005 book How to Lose Your Ass & Regain Your Life: Reluctant Confessions of a Big-Butted Star the actress wrote:

When the baby was gone, I just didn't really get over it. Neither did my body. I so thoroughly convinced my body that it was still pregnant after nine months that I had milk coming from my breasts. I was still fat, I was still grieving, and I had just been told it was very possible I would never be able to have children. Fat, childless, with little hope for any future children . . . that's when I began to get fat.

there are plenty of celeb moms that have miscarried before successfully having children it's nothing new. Joanne Woodward did during her honeymoon in 1958 and because of the lasting emotional scars she's never spoken about it publically Sophia Loren miscarried twice before the birth of her first son Carlo Ponti jr Lana Turner had 6 miscarriages before her daughter Cheryl Crain was born and 6 after due to a blood clotting issue. it's only been in the last 20 years or so that stars have openly spoken about fertility issues and pregnancy loss
