Single model, Jessica White, turns to in-vitro fertilization on her journey to motherhood...
From Page Six
Jessica White’s dream of motherhood is still going strong.
The model-turned-reality star, 40, reveals in an exclusive interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” that she is undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) to have a baby on her own after suffering a miscarriage with ex Nick Cannon.
“The hormones are running rampant. I’m having hot flashes, I’m crying all the time. I’m mad about the wind blowing. It’s working!” White says of her experience, describing herself as a real-life “pin cushion” amid the succession of shots that accompany treatment.
“We’re going to go in next month and retrieve all the eggs,” she continues. “You get tired of being picked … and having to stab yourself in the stomach. It’s crazy but it’s worth it.”
White has turned to IVF after discovering that she had a sizable uterine fibroid and 10-centimeter cyst preventing her from successfully carrying a fetus to term.
“I had six miscarriages,” the multi-hyphenate says, explaining that her fertility issues extended beyond her miscarriage with Cannon that she spoke about publicly in 2021.
“No baby could actually survive in my womb in the first place,” she reflects. “It is a very lonely and isolating experience.”
Now, with those medical issues attended to and a team of doctors who understand her desire to conceive, White is looking forward to starting a family.
“I just keep thinking about those sweet two little babies that I’ll be implanting in my womb in the next couple of months,” says the beauty, who has already found her sperm donor. “I have my baby’s daddy … and I’m stuck on that being the one.”
White previously told the “Jason Lee Show” that her eight-year romance with Cannon — a father of 12 — fizzled in part because of the way he chose to share his baby news with Brittany Bell.
“She was aware that I had just had a miscarriage, two weeks prior to her news coming out, because he told me that he told her. And I was living at his house, she knew that as well,” she said at the time. “But I found out on Instagram along with the rest of the world.”
White noted that she and Cannon “were about to start in vitro” when she discovered Bell, 36, was expecting her second child with Cannon in June 2020.
“So, when I came out, people thought I was this homewrecker. No, there was a real-life going on. I was bullied for months with that whole situation,” she said.
“I love Nick still. I’ll always love him. Nick and I grew up together, so that’s not something that will ever fade,” she says.
“Whether children came here or not, his DNA is still implanted inside of me. It’s a part of my brain fragment now. It just didn’t work out but the love will never be lost.”
