Many harsh comments were made against the former model when she announced that she was having a baby through surrogacy. However, she opened up about her decision during an interview, “When I turned 40, the one thing I was not happy about is that I did not have kids. I’m like, ‘Damn, the clock is ticking!’ Since I was 24, I used to say every year, ‘I will have kids in three years.’ I kept saying it over and over again … When you’re like, ‘OK, I’m just going to do it,’ then it’s not so easy as you get older.” After undergoing unsuccessful IVF procedures, the couple resorted to surrogacy.
