Robyn recently opened up about going through a difficult in vitro fertilization () journey as a single mother in her 40s.

She discussed her decision to pursue parenthood without a partner as well as how society views single mothers and the 'hardcore' IVF process she went through alone.

In an interview with The Guardian published on Friday, she got candid going through a breakup in 2020 and then choosing to undergo IVF by herself.

The Swedish pop star, 46, also said that though she recognizes IVF is a 'privilege,' it was 'definitely a challenge, physically and psychologically,' for her. 

She said she found the IVF process to be 'pretty hardcore' and said she was unsure initially 'if it was going to work' as she was beginning the process in her early 40s.

Robyn, who welcomed her son Tyko in July 2023, also admitted that being a single parent can be 'very, very taxing.'

She also candidly shared how she came to the decision to do it alone after a breakup in 2020; pictured in April 2019 

'I was older. I didn't know if it was going to work. I did a few rounds,' she said. 

She said she always believed she would have a child with a partner and first had to 'let go' of the idea of parenting in a 'conventional heterosexual relationship'

In addition to opening up about the challenges of having a baby by herself, she also discussed her experience as a single mother so far 

She also opened up to the outlet about being a single parent and raising a toddler by herself. 

'It's very, very taxing to be a single mum or dad. I grew up that way,' she said while reflecting on her parents' divorce when she was a kid. 

'My mother was tired and she was struggling, and I just didn't want to repeat things that I'd been through as a kid,' Robyn added.

'I don't want to expose my mum. She's a great mum, but, you know, just the lack of time, the lack of energy to be present, to not feel happy with your situation.'
