The reality TV personality said that when she and Tom started discussing “our fertility,” they had to be open about their journey from the very beginning.
“And the beginning,” she shared, “it’s not a happy story. But it was what we went through. And we have to be honest about it. I don’t try to paint a perfect picture of my life, of my relationship. Obviously. I just want to paint it as honest as possible and hope that people appreciate that.”
She added, “We all make mistakes, but we all do the best we can with what we’re getting.”
Katie explained that when they were faced with making the decision to get an abortion 10 years ago, they “choose what’s best for ourselves.”
“Tom and I, 10 years ago, when this came up, we were not in that position to become parents,” she revealed. She added that her 2009 accident, in which she fell 25 feet through a skylight that caused her a broken jaw, a broken collar bone and a small brain injury, made her feel “f–ked up emotionally.”
She said, “I was not ready, at that point, to become a mother, especially in a new relationship.”
