I can’t even remember when the moment was. There was something that just, like, switched.” Clark proposed to Schroeder in July 2019, and Us Weekly broke the news the following year that she was pregnant with their first child.

On Her Own

Kent told Amanda Hirsch during a December 2021 podcast episode that she wants more children after her split from Emmett and is looking into “options.” The reality star explained, “I think I’ll start depending on what my life looks like this year. I don’t want another baby daddy, so that we know.”

Major Motive

Maloney didn’t share her fertility struggles to “gain sympathy,” she told Kate Casey during a November 2021 podcast episode, saying, “[I want to] open up a part of my past that maybe would have people connect with me a little more on what I've been through.

Just in Case

"Surprise! I froze my eggs,” Madix said in a November 2021 episode of the Bravo show. "Me and Scheana were actually going together to freeze our eggs. And then she got pregnant. This does not mean that I'm jumping on the baby train. It’s about having agency over my own body and my own future. It's also kind of a nice fun f--k you to anybody who questions my values or my choices."

Tough Talks

After an "invalidating" conversation with Lisa Vanderpump about her fertility struggles, Maloney told her podcast listeners: "I get it, people are curious and they wanna know [whether we've tried], but it's rude. It just comes across as rude.”

Timeline

“We always have said when Cruz is about 1 year old, I want to start trying at least. Because who knows? It might not happen as easy this time,” Cartwright said during a November 2021 episode of the “Give Them Lala” podcastregarding baby No. 2. “He's already over 6 months. Time is flying. I still want to soon, but we'll see if it's going to be a year or a little bit later. I definitely want them to be close in age. I want them to grow up and be friends and be able to be in the same schools."

Looking Back

Maloney and Schwartz revealed in an October 2021 Vanderpump Rules episode that she had an abortion early in their relationship.

There aren't a lot of things I'm 100 percent sure about in life, but I'm 100 percent sure I'm gonna be a good dad."

Honesty Hour

“Tom and I definitely were talking about this summer being like the time to do the baby dance and try to make it happen,” Maloney exclusively told Us in August 2020. “We're trying not to stress out about it and are trying to keep [our] eyes on our own page, but still be excited for someone else. If it happens, great! That's the main thing that everyone always says, they're like, 'Just don't stress about it or don't be anxious about it. It'll happen when you're not thinking about it.’”

I just cannot wait to be a mom. And then once I actually did become engaged, I'm like, ‘Well, I can't be pregnant at my wedding.’ Like, I have to be able to get s--t-faced.”

No Time Like the Present

In June 2019, Schroeder exclusively told Us that she was “ready to have a baby,” gushing, “I’ve never really been someone that’s, like, dreamt about her wedding, but I always knew that I wanted to be a mom.

Honeymoon Baby

“When it happens it happens.

Looking Ahead

“I'm so determined to be the best father that I can possibly be,” Taylor told Men’s Health in December 2018. “Because I really want to be at every PTA meeting, every soccer practice, every ballerina class. My dad was there. I've done everything I've wanted to do, partied my brains out, traveled the world. It’s time to start the next stage in my life.”
