Hatcher said "I tried to have a second child by myself and I went through that, got a sperm donor. I actually had a miscarriage, unfortunately."

While it didn't work out for Hatcher personally, she explained that the sperm donation route can be done and is a lot of "fun."

She continued, "Because you pick out literally, 'Do they wear glasses? Did they have acne? How tall?' It's very interesting when you think about it that way."
