On the new episode of Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert’s reality series, “We Got Love Teyana & Iman, ” Taylor, 30, opened up about a recent health scare.

Dr. Altman, her physician, performed a biopsy to further determine what was going on. From there, she learned that the results came back fine — even despite the doctor describing it as a “complicated” procedure.

“I just want this to be the last time I go through this,” Taylor explained during the episode. “Cancer runs through my family, so it’s a scary thing both for me and [husband] Iman.” Following the procedure, Taylor shared that her first thoughts were on her two daughters, Junie, 5, and Rue, 11 months.

“When will I be able to hold my babies again?” the “How You Want It,” singer asked. Doctors then explained to her that she should wait at least six weeks until lifting her children, since the surgery was done on her chest and her underarms.

“I accept every single body scar, everything that comes with mommy-hood, but the changes — physically, mentally, emotionally, it’s crazy. As mommies, we really are super-women. ”

“It’s been a rough year for me, but I feel like I overcame it and I did a great job of balancing everything, trying to be mommy, trying to be wife, trying to be entrepreneur and everything else I have going on. I just want to enjoy this moment and try not to think of the negative,” she concluded.

The full show launched on August 18th, 2021. Fans can watch ‘We Got Love’ on E!, NBC or Sky.
