Broadway star and "Gossip Girl" actress Laura Benanti revealed that she performed for 2,000 people on a Broadway-themed cruise earlier this week while having a miscarriage.

"I knew it was happening. It started slowly the night before," Benanti wrote in an Instagram post, adding that it wasn't her first miscarriage. "If it had been our first, or even our second, I likely wouldn't have been able to go on. But unfortunately, I am not a stranger to the pain and emptiness of losing a pregnancy."

The Tony Award-winning actress also said that while she and her husband were "heartbroken" over the loss, she was grateful to her family, fellow performers, and the audience for supporting her and "lifting me out of my grief for that Holy hour."

She also thanked her unborn child who was lost.

"Thank you to that little soul for choosing me as your home, even for a short time," Benanti wrote.

Benanti was performing on a Broadway-themed cruise over the weekend, joining other stars such as Kristin Chenoweth, Alan Cumming, and Jeremy Jordan.
