RHONY’s Brynn Whitfield Shares Her Desire to Become a Mom in 2 Years and Asks Ex-Fiancé Gideon for Sperm Donation

Brynn Whitfield can’t wait to be a mom.

On this week’s episode of The Real Housewives of New York, Whitfield, 37, shares that she froze her eggs earlier this year and that she has plans to become a mom in the next few years. Although she isn’t married, Whitfield explains that she wants to ask her ex-fiancé Gideon Lang-Laddie if he’d be a sperm donor for her.

“When you get in your late 30s, the pool is much smaller. All the good ones are taken. It seems like there were more eligible, nice, kind men available in like [your] 20s,” Whitfield says in a confessional. “I feel like Carrie Bradshaw, who made the biggest mistake of her life not marrying Aiden.”

In a scene with costar Rebecca Minkoff, Whitfield explains that she wishes she’d thought about having a baby earlier in life.

“Do you know what my biggest regret is? All the times that I took Plan B with dudes like hot, smart, IPO-ing, billionaires. Why did I take Plan B?” Brynn jokes.

“Maybe I’m 30, but I know I’m going to be a mom. Dude, I’ve gone through nine days of egg-freezing. I’m f——— injecting myself. I’m a bloated f—— blueberry walking around. I look crazy.”

In another confessional, Whitfield says that she was able to retrieve a good amount of eggs in January.

“I froze my eggs in London in January,” Whitfield says. “So I froze them there, I was very lucky. I got 15 eggs. I’m glad that I did this. It was on my mind more than I thought.”

Back in the scene with Minkoff, Whitfield stresses that she knows she’s going to grow her family eventually.

“I know I’m going to be a mom. I don’t know about how many, but I know there’s definitely one,” she tells Minkoff.

Later in the episode, Whitfield talks with her ex-fiancé Gideon and asks him if he’d ever consider being a sperm donor for her.

“Well I was thinking, you know, crazy idea. What if we took some of those eggs out of the freezer and then made an embryo with your sperm?” Whitfield asks.

“I’m serious about this,” she continues. “I know I’m laughing, but it’s because I get nervous. I’m not saying I want to do the baby thing yet, I’m just like, ‘Do you want to make an embryo?’”

The scene jumps back to Whitfield’s confessional, where she explains that the journey to becoming a parent is looking a little different for her.

“I was very much raised — I meet someone, I fall in love, we get married. Couple years we have kids, etc,” she says. “And now I’m 38, and it’s not that linear anymore for me.”

“So I have a decision. Instead of choosing romance for myself, I can choose a good father for my future children. And I think that Gideon is just a really, really good man. Period,” Whitfield says.

Back in her conversation with Gideon, Whitfield and her ex continue discussing whether they’d ever have a baby together.

“I love the idea,” Gideon responds. “Hand on heart, love the idea. I think you would make an incredible mother. I’ve always thought that.”

However, Whitfield explains that she wants to start the process pretty quickly.

“So look, I’m 38 now. I want to have a kid at least by 40. So if I want to do that, then I think it needs to happen Q1 2025,” she says, much to Gideon’s shock.
