In a recent interview, Gabrielle Union reflects on her parenting journey, revealing her mixed emotions about surrogacy. Six years after welcoming her daughter Kaavia via surrogacy, Union describes the experience as a "mind f*ck" and a "cuckold," expressing feelings of failure and public humiliation. Despite her struggles with infertility and miscarriages, she acknowledges her gratitude towards the gestational caregiver. Ultimately, Union emphasizes her joy in being a mother while grappling with unresolved emotions surrounding her own bodily limitations and the surrogacy experience.
"My body failed. It just felt like such a f*cking public humiliation. Surrogacy felt like a cuckold; watching somebody do something I can't do."
"I'll never have peace with it, ever. And that's not a what-anybody-has-to-say thing; that's just - my yearning has never dissipated."
"I'm very grateful to [our] gestational caregiver. And of course, the most important part: My baby's here and my baby's awesome."
