Whitney Port reveals her surrogate mother suffered two miscarriages

Whitney Port and husband Tim Rozenman revealed that their surrogate mother had two miscarriages.

“We ended up doing two transfers with the surrogate mother. Both transfers ultimately ended in failure. The last miscarriage was just a month ago,” Port, 38, explained in an episode of her podcast ‘With Whit’ from earlier this month.

Rosenman, 42, noted that their surrogate mother was just over seven weeks pregnant during both pregnancy losses. Although their doctor said they have a “97 percent chance” of a viable pregnancy, the couple is concerned about their fertility journey.

“There could be something going on with the surrogate mother or with our embryos,” Rosenman added during the emotional conversation.

Whitney Port and Tim Rosenman are everyone’s goals. The pair met in the mid-2000s at a birthday dinner for one of Port’s ex-boyfriends. “Tim was there. And I was sitting across from him,” she told She Knows in 2014. “I left the dinner and said to a mutual friend, ‘Oh my God. Who is that […]

According to Port, the couple is in the process of figuring out their next steps. “We’re kind of in the early stages again where we have three embryos left, two that have been tested and one that hasn’t been tested yet,” she explained. “We decide: are we going to try a new laboratory? Do we do another round of egg harvesting to get new embryos? Are all these embryos from the last batch bad, or do we transfer one of the embryos that have already been created into the surrogacy and just get on with that while we make a plan to get another egg.”

Port and Rosenman became parents when they welcomed son Sonny in July 2017. Despite the challenges, they have discussed their plans to expand their family over the years. In November 2021, Port revealed that she had suffered a pregnancy loss.

“I’m so sorry to say this, and some of you may have seen our latest YouTube episode, but [we] lost the baby. We found out yesterday,” Port wrote via Instagram Story at the time. “Sending all my love to those of you who are dealing with this right now. I don’t want to be insensitive and make light of it, but if the glass is half full, I no longer feel physically complete.”

More recently, Port reflected on publicly discussing her fertility issues.

‘It wasn’t that [hard to discuss] at first, and the more I brought it out, it was. Not because I got a negative reaction, but it became something I had to talk about and be reminded of all the time,” she said in an October post.

As a digital creator, you are in this world of showcasing your personal life as part of your business. So I felt like that became the conversation, and it was all-encompassing.

Port also praised Rosenman for his support in the aftermath of her pregnancy loss.

“It really brought us closer together. Timmy [would say]“This is us dealing with this. This isn’t you, and this isn’t anything your body has done wrong.” I feel like sometimes that’s all the partner has to say so the woman doesn’t feel alone,” she shared Us.

Port also touched on her journey with surrogacy at the time.

“We’re looking into everything, and there’s been a lot of stuff that’s happened that I didn’t want to share, because there are so many updates at some point, and it’s happening in real time, and I’m not even sure how I feel about it ,” she admitted. “So I’m not ready to talk about the details of my plans yet.”

Port was hopeful that she would give her son a sibling. “Please [expand our family]. I always wanted more than one. There’s just something inside me that feels like we’re not complete yet,” she concluded. “[And Sonny wants a sibling] so bad. Never in a way that makes me feel bad, but he wants a buddy or someone to take care of. I don’t think he realizes what that will mean for him once the baby arrives! I don’t want to say, ‘Hey, appreciate this now, because in a year, or two years, or whenever it happens…’ But he’s going to be the best big brother.”
