Meghan Trainor says motherhood has reshaped how and when she feels sexy. Between late-night feedings, toddler chaos and a newborn brought by surrogate, intimacy with husband Daryl Sabara has become a rarer luxury. Yet she’s candid about longing for the spark she and Sabara once shared, and about how therapy, music and small domestic changes have helped them reconnect.
How motherhood changed Meghan Trainor’s romantic life
Trainor, now a mother of three, describes a daily life full of diaper runs, interrupted sleep and split-second parenting decisions. Her two older children are ages five and two, and the couple welcomed their daughter, Mikey, through surrogacy in January.

- Less private time: Nights out and quiet moments have shrunk since the kids arrived.
- New priorities: Parenting routines often take precedence over couple time.
- Still hopeful: She says the desire to feel alluring again is very much alive.
Music as a channel for sensuality: ‘Toy With Me’ and the new single
Trainor’s album, released April 24, mixes playful chemistry with grown-up themes. One standout is her take on “Pink Cadillac,” originally from Bruce Springsteen’s catalog.
Rather than a straight cover, Trainor’s version leans into cheeky, flirtatious energy. She calls these songs a way to explore a side of herself she doesn’t always get to express at home.
Why the couple began therapy and what changed
As they prepared for surrogacy, Trainor and Sabara decided to see a counselor. Small disagreements had become signs of deeper disconnects.
What therapy revealed
- Hidden anxieties surfaced during sessions.
- Both partners realized they were often arguing about different things.
- Therapy offered tools to communicate more clearly.
Therapy helped them build emotional safety. Today, they say they can anticipate each other’s needs and feel more secure in the relationship.
Daily life: affectionate moments and kitchen-table debates
Trainor shares intimate domestic scenes that show love can peek through exhaustion. Sabara reassures her with small gestures, even after sleep-filled nights.
- Affirmations at night keep a sense of closeness alive.
- Little awakenings throughout the night lead to whispered reassurances.
- Humor helps — for example, they once debated whether a child should eat chocolate waffles during a messy morning.
Quirky home fixes that reflect parenthood priorities
Practical needs sometimes inspire unusual choices. Trainor recalls a previous home remodel that prioritized convenience over convention.
- Double toilet setup: She installed two toilets side-by-side to avoid late-night bathroom battles.
- Bidet repurposed: An extra toilet replaced a never-used bidet during a move.
- Simple logic: Small adjustments can ease tired parents’ routines and reduce friction.
Balancing an artistic persona with family life
Being an artist and a parent pulls Trainor in two directions. On stage and on record she channels bold, sexy energy. At home, she navigates feedings and tantrums.
She says she doesn’t expect constant glamour. Instead, she treats her music as a place to reclaim sensuality and as a hopeful reminder that those moments can return.
