Nancy Kerrigan didn’t know what to expect when she decided to share her fertility struggles with the world.
“I didn’t because I wanted to make any kind of statement, they just asked me what was most important and that was,” the two-time Olympic figure skater, 47, told People after Monday’s episode of Dancing with the Stars of opening up on the ABC reality show last week about suffering “at least” six miscarriages on her way to becoming a mother of three.
But Kerrigan says that many people reached out to her after the segment aired last week.

Nancy Kerrigan knew early on that she wanted a full house of children.
“I always thought I’d have three kids by the time I was 30,” the two-time Olympic medalist in figure skating, 47, says in an current issue of People.
And after she wed her agent Jerry Solomon in 1995, Kerrigan quickly became pregnant and welcomed her son Matthew in 1996.
“He went on tour with us for months and it was great,” says Kerrigan, who had transitioned to professional skating after her silver medal win at the 1994 Winter Olympics.

Eating in the Olympic Village cafeteria had been a joyous occasion the first time figure skater Nancy Kerrigan competed at the Olympics.
“When I went to the 1992 , it felt like it was the first time I came out of my shell,” Kerrigan — who is featured in the current issue of People — says of competing in Albertville, France, where she won a bronze medal. “If I saw someone at the cafeteria with a USA jacket on, I’d just go sit with them.”
But then Kerrigan, 47, was clubbed in the knee in January 1994, an attack orchestrated by her rival Tonya Harding’s ex-husband.

Nancy Kerrigan spent eight years privately suffering through a series of six “devastating” miscarriages — but she refuses to be silent about her pain anymore.
“It’s something you didn’t talk about then. People didn’t talk about miscarriages, so I felt very alone,” says the two-time Olympic figure skater and current Dancing with the Stars competitor, who is featured in the upcoming issue of People.
Kerrigan, 47, says she felt “ashamed” about her fertility issues and believes her problems — which occurred in between the 1996 birth of her son Matthew and 2005 birth of her son Brian — were made worse by keeping her struggle a secret.

Twenty years ago, Nancy Kerrigan (above) famously fought back from injuries sustained in an attack connected to her teammate and rival Tonya Harding.
Both Kerrigan and Harding have sought to leave the past behind them, living their normal lives two decades since the assault on Kerrigan that nearly derailed her 1994 Olympics. While leaving a training session prior to the U.S. figure skating nationals, Kerrigan was struck viciously on the knee by a friend of Harding’s then-husband. Harding went on to win the national competition in Boston.
“I really don’t look back unless someone asks me to look back, and then I have to,” Kerrigan told USA Today Sports about the sporting saga. “Otherwise, why would I? I was attacked.”
After the attack, Kerrigan was able to rehabilitate her injured leg in time to compete at the Winter Olympics in Lilehammer, Norway. Both Kerrigan and Harding competed in...

It's been 20 years since Nancy Kerrigan was attacked on the knee in a plot orchestrated by the ex-husband of her U.S. Olympic teammate Tonya Harding. On Jan. 6, 1994, Kerrigan was clubbed on the right leg by a hitman hired by Harding’s ex, Jeff Gillooly, in Detroit, where she was preparing for the U.S. Figure Skating Championships.Nancy’s bruised right knee kept her from competing, but she recovered in time for the 1994 Olympics. Harding won the U.S. Championship in her absence, so both went to the Olympics. Two decades may have passed, but the pain is still very fresh for Kerrigan."I really don't look back unless someone asks me to look back, and then I have to," Nancy told USA Today in a recent phone interview. "Otherwise, why would I? I was attacked."The retired figure skater said she hasn't spoken or seen Harding since the incident.
