Maria Menounos and Keven Undergaro’s journey to becoming parents
In an interview with People in February 2022, Maria Menounos spoke about her journey to becoming a mother. She said that she had never imagined that it would take so long and was getting frustrated with every passing day.
Following a piece of advice from Kim Kardashian, the pair chose the path of surrogacy but were shocked to learn in 2021 that their first surrogate was not matching medically. Maria mentioned,
“There’s something called a mock cycle that my fertility doctor suggested because we only have two really good embryos and we want two kids. What would happen is the uterine lining wouldn’t grow to that last stage where you could safely implant and know that the embryo would stick. Had we not done [a mock cycle], we would’ve probably lost our only chances.”
When the pair found another surrogate, Maria was nervous. She even addressed her mother’s demise, saying that she feels bad that her mother won’t get to see her grandchildren.
According to Menounos, she revealed to her mother that she and Keven were going to implant. She stated that following her mother’s death, she tried to find her life’s purpose and was happy to lose herself to care for her mother.
