  • Chrissy Teigen Appreciates Support Following Revelation of Infertility Battle

    Chrissy Teigen is overwhelmed by the support she has received from her fans following a recent revelation that she and husband John Legend are enduring an infertility struggle.

    It was while co-hosting Tyra Presents FABLife last week that Chrissy Teigen admitted she and John Legend had seen fertility doctors in their quest to have children. Tyra Banks admitted she was facing a similar struggle, too.

    “I will say, honestly, John and I are having trouble,” Chrissy Teigen said. “We would have kids five, six years ago if it’d happened,” she added. “But my gosh, it’s been a process!”

    Chrissy continued, “So, anytime somebody asks me if I’m going to have kids, I’m like, ‘One day, you’re going to ask that to the wrong girl who’s really struggling, and it’s going to be really hurtful to them. And I hate that. So, I hate it. Stop asking me!’”

    Despite the pain of her infertility issues, Teigen shared via social media her appreciation of the support she has received since appearing on the show.

    While it’s unclear if Chrissy Teigen has gone this route, Tyra Banks revealed that she had undergone IVF treatments in her quest to have a child with boyfriend Erik Asla.

    “I’m so tired of seeing on my social media, ‘Why don’t you have kids? Why don’t you have kids?’” she said. “You don’t know. You don’t know what I’m going through. You have no idea.”

    Chrissy Teigen and Tyra Banks have possibly ignited something that might result in a new social etiquette with regard to asking women when they’re going to have children. Maybe, after hearing how these ladies have suffered from the social stigma that often accompanies an infertility struggle, people will think twice before asking such personal questions.

    Kudos to Chrissy Teigen and Tyra Banks for bravely sharing their stories.

  • Tyra Banks Talks “Traumatic Moments” During IVF Procedures, Has She Suffered Miscarriages?

    Tyra Banks recently opened up about wanting a child with photographer boyfriend Erik Asla, and that she is undergoing IVF treatments. The 41-year-old America’s Top Model host was candid in a recent interview about some of what she has experienced thus far.

    “When I turned 40, the one thing I was not happy about is that I did not have kids,” she said. “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,’” she added. “I kept saying it over and over again. Because my business is very entrepreneurial. I’m not for hire, so I have to do everything. I kept trying to find that time for that to happen.”

    Tears flowed for Tyra Banks as she talked about some of the frustrations and the pain.

    “I’ve had some not happy moments with that, very traumatic moments,” she explained. “It’s difficult as you get older. It’s not something that can just happen.”

    Even though Tyra Banks didn’t come right out and say it, some likely wonder if the trauma she experienced was in the form of one or more miscarriages. It isn’t unusual for women undergoing IVF treatments to become pregnant and then miscarry the implanted embryos.

    Despite the pain and whatever specific traumas Tyra Banks has endured, her outlook is a positive one.

    “I hope [for kids], she says. “I don’t just want one child. I want a litter! And I want to be the kind of mom where my child can come to me for anything.”

    Hopefully one day soon, Tyra Banks will see her dream come true.
