Maria Menounos Shares How Kim Kardashian Helped in Her Journey to Baby

In February 2022, Maria told People that she and Keven began considering the surrogacy route in 2018 and that Kim—who welcomed her daughter Chicago, 5, and son Psalm, 3, with the help of surrogates—gave her advice on the matter. She noted, “I was grateful that I had her to share and help me.”

Unfortunately, Maria said she and Kevin learned in 2021 that their first surrogate was no longer a match medically. “That was a really hard breakup because we had been together on the journey for almost two years,” Maria recalled. “She was just so lovely and so amazing and very patient with us.”

Despite the roadblock, she didn’t lose hope. “Hopefully, all will be well,” Maria told the outlet. “And we’ll get two little brats that I will tell every day, ‘You have no idea what we went through to bring you here! You better do great things in this world.'”
