Michaela Coel, 37, reveals she has frozen her eggs because she 'would love a family' as she opens up about romance with boyfriend Spencer Hewett while posing for British Vogue
Michaela Coel has revealed she has undergone the process of freezing her eggs because she 'would love to have a family'. The Marvel star, 37, said freezing her eggs is the 'only way' she will have a family but she isn't going to go 'crazy' if she doesn't have children. Michaela has been in a relationship with boyfriend Spencer Hewett since 2023 and also opened up about how the pair met on celebrity dating app Raya. The Black Earth Rising star revealed she 'wasn't thinking about kids at 33' when she met Spencer as she was busy 'enjoying life' and focusing on her career. Speaking to British Vogue about undergoing the process of freezing her eggs, she said: 'That's the only way I'm going to do it. I would love to have a family. 'I'm also not going to go crazy if I don't, because I believe the world is such a mystery, bro. If I don't have a family, it's not the end of the world. I'm still going to be here breathing.' Michaela went on to discuss racial biases and how 'dating apps hate Black women' but gushed over her partner Spencer being 'loyal and funny'. She continued: 'He's very sweet. He's very smart. He's very loyal. He's very funny, makes me feel comfortable. 'Social dating apps hate Black women. I think that, historically, media hates Black women. And that's not just here, you know? I think there's a recognition bias and if you're used to seeing white faces more, you favour them, and we know this. And across the globe, we are more accustomed to seeing white faces.' It comes after Michaela admitted she has PTSD following her experience of racism at school. Speaking to The Telegraph's Arts supplement in 2023, she spoke about having a 's***ty time' as a black student at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2009. An independent review into discrimination experienced by students in 2020, found evidence of a racist culture in which multiple black students were called the N-word and 'suppressed' by white tutors. Being told she has a page dedicated to her on the college's website, she said: 'I'm not going to lie to you, I've got so much PTSD from my time in drama school I've never looked back.' When asked if she would like the college to remove her image from the website, she said the answer is not an easy one. The Black Earth Rising star revealed she 'wasn't thinking about kids at 33' when she met Spencer as she was busy 'enjoying life' and focusing on her career 'Its very difficult', she said. 'When you put somebody's picture on the school's thing, it makes people want to go there... and I don't really want to make people do anything or stop people [from] doing anything. 'Sh**ty as my time there was, I love the person I am today and I am a collection of every experience I've had, both fortunate and unfortunate. So do I regret going there? That's a complex question.' A spokesperson for the school said: 'Guildhall School apologises unreservedly for the racism experienced by Michaela Coel and other alumni whilst they were studying at the School. 'The experiences they have shared are appalling and unacceptable. We have since undertaken a sustained programme of action to address and dismantle long-standing systemic racism within the Acting Programme, including commissioning an external report into historic racism and a comprehensive and ongoing process of staff training and reflection. 'We have also undertaken a significant redevelopment of our Acting curriculum, including a departmental staff restructure, so that our teaching and learning culture prioritises inclusivity, representation and wellbeing. 'We understand that this work is long-term and will require sustained commitment to build a culture that is inclusive and equitable for everyone.'
