Andy Cohen was on Jeff Lewis’s SiriusXm radio show yesterday and said what may be the most ridiculous thing he has ever said. He was talking about what he plans to do with his three remaining embryos. He clarified that while both of his kids had different surrogates, all the eggs are biological siblings. After having Ben and baby sister Lucy, he still has three eggs left. Whatever will he do with the leftovers?
I bet you didn’t have this on your Bingo card:
“You know what I’m thinking? This is crazy, but if either of [my children] cannot have kids, maybe in 20 years they’ll defrost their sibling and raise them.Is that a weird thought?”
Yes, Yes it is very weird. In other news, he addressed the rumor that he got his eggs from Heather Dubrow. This was a topic of conversation whenever she appeared on WWHL. Andy Cohen kept telling her her he was looking for some Jewish embryos and since she had some left over, perhaps he could have them. She was clear that would be weird. Not that she isn’t weird. She has her unborn embryos etched into a family tree window display in her mausoleum.
They would be siblings, wouldn’t they, if they all were developed using his sperm? Half siblings, but siblings nonetheless.
All of the embryos are FULL siblings. Same mother and presumably Andy is the father of all five.
Damn! The rich really ARE different!
You win the internet 😂😂😂😭😭
When it comes to IVF and all it’s forms, I’ve got vm no judgement. I believe parents so desperately want a child to love and be their family more power to them.
Yes but the saving the eggs for the kids to raise their own siblings later is BIZARRE.
I agree it’s absolutely preposterous!
Yes very strange indeed!
This doesn’t sound so crazy to me.. Other than wondering if they can be frozen that long and then successfully used. If you are going to use a donated embryo that is not your sperm/egg, why not one genetically related to you? Yes it is genetically a sibling, but won’t be raised as one. There is no biological issue here such as mating with a sibling.
That being said, it saddens me when people feel so strongly about having their own genetic child that they won’t consider adoption. The reason I love my son is not because we share the same type of hair and skin. I love him because we make each other laugh and we played together and read together. It’s our shared history, not genes.
I believe the same but unless your son is adopted the comment is speculation about how you think you would feel.
We have a surrogate currently. IVF is so damn expensive that I’m fully supportive of this. If his kids struggle with fertility then it is a huge boon to have healthy well rated embryos on ice! You can harvest over 10 embryos and still come out with only one embryo rated well enough to implant.
Between us friends, I had to use a donated egg since my liver exploded while pregnant and personally I found being in a coma terrible. I’m confident that all of this, yes it sounds weird, but his point is very clear for most who have been though it.
Hope you’re on the mend and good luck to you. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I wish you all the best! How much longer to go?
PS. I haven’t been in a coma, but I imagine they’re not much fun. 🥰
We’re at 29 weeks, so I’m relaxing a bit now. I was 28 weeks when my liver ruptured from hellp syndrome and all hell ensued! My son still has a slew of health problems from being a 2 pounder. We’re lucky we are even alive so a few health issues are nothin.
But yeah, my comment was to say that it’s not always possible to use your own eggs! Even if you’ve got them, just the hormones to get at ’em can kill ladies like me – and I already did the whole dying thing, didn’t care for it, and decided against it 🤣
Honestly I’m scared it’s going to be so different this time around! Reading up on bringing home a term baby is so different from what we experienced with our NICU long timer!
I’m so happy for you. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.
I have been thinking about how quickly things have changed over the last few years and what was out of this world is now totally acceptable. I have one son who came out as gay to me at 16 and last weekend my 21 year old (who has only had girlfriends) said he identified as queer. I’m still figuring it out but I love him so I will. Although it’s taking a minute to adjust, I’m happy that my boys feel safe to tell me how they feel and to explore life. I wasn’t that brave at their age.
Well you’re already killing it as a parent because you’re operating from a place of loving them for them and that’s all that matters! Our kids (unless they’re breaking the law or something crazy) should always feel the vibe of come as you are, you’re loved here.
Maybe it’s cuz I had to work so hard to keep my kid alive, but I just don’t understand these parents who are willing to kick their kids out and never see them again rather than continue loving them!
My son was born in Utah (thanks military) where, come nighttime, teen boys and girls huddle up to sleep in the doorways of shelters. Breaks my heart
The thing to do with “leftover eggs” is to donate them to an egg bank. Or if you don’t want “your kids” wandering the earth, exterminate them. You don’t impregnate your children with their full blood siblings or presume they won’t want to use their own eggs if they need a surrogate. It’s just not normal.I presume their partner would like to be genetically related to their child.
If only the Monarchy had thought of this first. Talk about sticking with a bloodline…..
Lol
Can’t help but mention that reversal of roe v wade is going to totally fuck with frozen embryos. And more. The fucktards haven’t thought that one through AT ALL. I digress.
It’s SUPER weird imo. Then again, it’s Andy so look at the source. Agree with Barb, I’d rather have fewer Andy Cohens.
True it is not normal, but it is intriguing. Who knows, 15 years from now, people, may be doing it. People have babies for their own children, for their siblings, it may just be a thing. I just dont want him to push it on them. Of course, he is old, he may not be around by the time they make that decision anyway.
Personally I would prefer fewer, not more, Andy Cohens roaming the earth. LOL Not a fan.
Especially if they are Heather DuBrow’s eggs. Can you imagine. Eek!
Ha! That’s a good one. Poor Andy and his big f’n mouth.
Wait. What?? He thinks his children will need his fertilized eggs to have children and raise their brother or sister? Yes, this is super fucking weird.
I have a feeling it was one of those things that sounded better in his head than it did once he said it out loud. I’m curious what Jeff Lewis’ reaction was since he may also have frozen embryo’s stashed someplace.
No, no and ewww! Just because you think it you don’t have to actually share it with the public. Ewwwwww!
In 20 years his kids will be 20 and 22? I don’t think they are going to worry about having kids at that point. I think they will have enough resources to have their own children whenever they see fit. This was so weird to say.
