Whitney Thore’s pregnancy news has fans talking after the reality star revealed she’s trying to conceive using artificial insemination.
On a recent episode of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, Whitney opened up about starting the process with an at-home kit.
At 41, after years of managing PCOS and freezing her eggs, she’s taking this step on her own and sharing every moment with viewers.
Is Whitney Thore pregnant?
Whitney Thore has shared her desire to become a mother for years, but now she’s finally taking real steps toward it. She reveals that she’s ready to get pregnant and is starting the process with an at-home insemination kit.
This isn’t her first move toward motherhood. She froze her eggs some time back and wanted to keep her choices open for later.
She has polycystic ovarian syndrome. This condition makes getting pregnant much harder. It also caused her to gain 200 pounds during college.
Whitney understands her time might be running out and has decided to go ahead with having a baby, even if she does it alone. She admits the whole thing scares her.
However, she feels this represents the most thoughtful decision she has ever made about motherhood.
Donor Search and Future Plans
Whitney Thore is seen searching for a sperm donor while sitting with friends and scrolling through a database. She says the experience feels like a dating app but much more serious.
She looks for basic health information, a clean genetic history, and someone taller than 5’7″, hoping her future child won’t inherit her shorter height.
Despite the pressure, Whitney says she isn’t being overly picky. She focuses more on intelligence and health than physical traits. At this point, she hasn’t announced a pregnancy, but she’s staying practical.
Whitney has shared that she’s trying not to expect too much so she can cope with whatever happens. If it works, she says, it will be a nice wonder.
Broken Engagement To Chase Severino
Whitney was engaged to Chase Severino before she decided to have a baby alone. People who watched the show saw their whole relationship play out on screen. It covered everything from dating to getting engaged in Paris.
However, everything ended in 2020.
Whitney found out that Chase had gotten back with a woman he had known before. She also learned this woman was pregnant with his baby. They were already having problems and living apart.
Whitney handled the breakup well and didn’t get angry or mean about it. She asked people to give her space during this difficult time. She also told her fans not to send hate messages to Chase or the other woman.
Moreover, Whitney stayed respectful even though she was probably hurt. Chase shared the news, too. He showed respect for their time together and confirmed he was expecting a child with someone else.
Is Whitney Thore Dating Jacob Isenberger?
Since her breakup, Whitney has been linked to Jacob Isenberger, a TV producer with more than two decades of experience. He’s also a co-executive producer of My Big Fat Fabulous Life.
Back in September 2018, Whitney shared a photo of herself with Jacob Isenberger, captioning it “my man.” She also shared another photo with him on March 6, but neither of them has confirmed the nature of their relationship.
For now, the television personality hasn’t spoken publicly about any new relationships. Her focus appears to be on starting a family, whether she has a partner or not.
