Anna Kendrick Reveals She Created Embryos With Ex-Boyfriend Before Dramatic Break-Up

Actress Anna Kendrick recently detailed some aspects of a very emotional breakup, saying she created embryos with her ex-boyfriend before they decided to split up.

The 37-year-old actress made the revelations during a Monday episode of Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast. 

“I was with someone — this was somebody I lived with, for all intents and purposes my husband. We had embryos together, this was my person,’” Kendrick explained. 

“I remember telling my brother, when things had first kind of gone down, ‘I’m living with a stranger. Like, I don’t know what’s happening,’” she continued. “It wasn’t just the ‘Oh, I’m losing a relationship.’ It was that I believed that if we broke up or, you know, if he left basically, it was a confirmation that it’s because I’m impossible, I’m lucky that he’s even tolerating my bulls***.”

Kendrick said her ex would “scream” at her until she was “curled in a ball, sobbing.”

The “Pitch Perfect” actress said she tried couples therapy with her unidentified ex, but the relationship ended when he admitted to having feelings for someone else. She recalls him acting “strange” and confronting him about it. 

“The worst possible thing was, I was like, ‘please don’t say this girl’s name,’ and he started talking about this girl.”

This event led the “Up In the Air” actress to question her self-worth. 

“There was an inherent thing of me being so rejectable that this person who loved me very deeply for six years, it suddenly occurred to him, how awful I was or something,” the actress continued. “The shame, that lingers much longer.”

The actress admitted that she “dismantled” her life following the breakup, telling her agent, “I need to take time off, I have a mental health problem.”

Kendrick dated director Edgar Wright for four years, from 2009 to 2013, and also dated cinematographer Ben Richardson for a few years, per Us Weekly. The actress was also romantically linked with Jake Gyllenhaal and was dating Bill Hader at the beginning of 2022. 

The actress also referenced her previous relationship in a September interview with People, saying she used her experience of “emotional abuse and psychological abuse” to inform her performance on “Alice, Darling.”

“I think my rep sent it to me, because he knew what I’d been dealing with and sent it along. Because he was like, ‘This sort of speaks to everything that you’ve been talking to me about,'” Kendrick told the publication. 

“My body still believes that it was my fault,” she says. “So even with this concrete jumping off point for me, to walk out of that relationship knowing that I wasn’t crazy, it’s incredible the way that recovery has been so challenging.”

New Republican House Votes To ‘Repeal The Democrats’ Army Of 87,000 IRS Agents’

House Republicans, who are now in control of the legislative body, voted Monday evening to cut billions of dollars to the Internal Revenue Service after the agency received a significant boost in funding in the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who just was elected to the position after 15 rounds of voting, hailed the passage of the bill by a 221-210 vote.

“Government should work for you, not against you. As part of the House Republican Commitment to America, I promised we would vote to repeal the Democrats’ army of 87,000 IRS agents on our very first day in the majority,” McCarthy said in a statement. “Promises made. Promises kept.”

McCarthy previously said during his first speech as House speaker that the first bill that Republicans were going to vote on was to cut IRS funding.

The increase in funding was estimated to be north of $80 billion over 10 years to help the agency collect more taxes from American citizens in addition to other purposes like technological upgrades. The Washington Post noted that Republicans voted to strip about $71 billion from those funds.

The bill is unlikely to pass in the Senate.

The focus on cutting funding to the IRS was included in the economic portion of McCarthy’s “Commitment To America” plan.

Other key points from the economic section include:

Curb wasteful government spending that is raising the price of groceries, gas, cars, and housing, and growing our national debt. Increase take-home pay, create good-paying jobs, and bring stability to the economy through pro-growth tax and deregulatory policies. Maximize production of reliable, cleaner, American-made energy and cut the permitting process time in half to reduce reliance on foreign countries, prevent rolling blackouts, and lower the cost of gas and utilities. Move supply chains away from China, expand U.S. manufacturing, and enhance America’s economic competitiveness and cyber resiliency
