Comedian, actress, and television personality Sherri Shepherd admits that it’s tough being a Hollywood mom. “There was a time when I really had to give something up and that was when my son was born prematurely. He was born at five and a half months. That was a time that was so scary for me … So I had to give myself permission to take the actress Sherri, the stand-up comedian Sherri, put them on the shelf with the fine china and focus on being a mom. It was the best thing I did …,” says the 45-year-old TV star. She later announced that she had expected to have fraternal twins (one boy, one girl), but miscarried her daughter, and instead gave birth three months prematurely to her son, Jeffrey, who is now 7 years old.
