Stevie likes to tell that story with that slant because it makes a great tragic story, all the children she might have had.

The reality is she never was willing to make any sacrifices to her career that a personal life would require. She could have had children at any point; indeed she ended pregnancies rather than have kids. So I don't buy that sob story in this case as much more than a great drama.
