Whitney Port, Tim Rosenman Exploring Surrogacy After Infertility

Whitney Port and her husband, Tim Rosenmanexplore surrogacy as a way to expand their family.

“I’m still figuring things out and nothing’s quite like 100 percent yet and so it’s one of those things where you’re afraid to put it out in the universe until you know what happens,” the hills alum, 38, exclusively told Us weekly while promoting her participation in the Amazon Influencer Program in advance First Daj. “But for me, I suffered from secondary infertility, and it’s been such a process, both physically and mentally, to get to that second baby. And so now we’re going through the motions of surrogacy, really thinking seriously and we’ve got embryos [stored].”

Port further noted that she and Rosenman, 42, “are not traveling yet,” but they hope it will be “soon.”

“It’s just a process. It just doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a whole thing,” Port commented, revealing that trying to conceive felt very “all-consuming” to her and “took over my whole being.” She added: “I was unable to be present and happy and be a decent version of myself. So I think hopefully if this new route can happen, that would be the greatest blessing of all time. But we’ll see.”

The City alum and Rosenman, who married in 2015, welcomed son Sonny in July 2017. After suffering multiple miscarriages, Port announced four years later in November 2021 that she was pregnant again. Weeks later, she suffered another pregnancy loss.

“[The doctor] said it’s done,” Port revealed in a November 2021 YouTube video. “When I had that ultrasound that looked like there was no embryo in it and the yolk sac was thin, maybe that was a sign that it wasn’t healthy from the start used to be. … I thought it would keep growing. Maybe I was naive. Everything looked good, so I just didn’t think it would turn around.”

After grieving her pregnancy loss, Port’s doctors recommended that the couple try in vitro fertilization (IVF).

“It’s not something in my heart that I’ve ever wanted to do, but now just the thought of not having a second child is too painful to bear,” said the True White said the author in her social media video at the time. “I felt so physically sick that it made me depressed, so I want to get better physically first and get my head in order. I just want to be happier.”

As Port and Rosenman continue to explore their fertility options, they love living with Sonny and watching him grow up.

“Oh my God, it’s so crazy,” she shared Us earlier this month. “When they’re babies, it’s just so complicated and so hard and so exhausting. And I think there’s a schedule now and he’s got a personality… it’s just so rewarding. So I love it and I’m also at that stage where it’s growing up and now you want the baby back in the house.

Sonny is gearing up to turn 6 on July 27, which Port plans to celebrate with a backyard Star Wars– theme party. The reality TV alum has even turned to Amazon to buy the decorations and presents, including the LEGO Star Wars kits Sonny is “totally crazy”.

“I wanted to get this LEGO for him Star Wars The Razor Crest situation to deal with this summer,” Port revealed Usexplaining that the shopping site makes her life as a mother and businesswoman “so much easier”.

In addition to using Amazon to order everyday essentials such as her must-have skin care products and Sonny’s school supplies, Port is an ambassador for her Amazon Influencer Program.

“I think it was great that for us as influencers, we were the first to announce the Prime Day with some really exciting options and they’re obviously on July 11,” she said. “And I just love being a creator who can help build and manage businesses, empower myself as a woman, create my own business [and] not depend on anyone else. Or just compile lists. It’s so rewarding and it feels good when I can really be of use and I think it’s an influencer’s job to show what you’re using how you’re using it what it’s like in your life and that’s why I’m part of this program.’
