Fashion designer and The Hills star Whitney Port, announced on her YouTube channel that she is expecting her second child and is preparing for another unhealthy pregnancy. Whitney has spoken in the past about her pregnancy challenges. — prior to her pregnancy announcement, the reality tv star had a miscarriage in 2019 and again in January 2021. She and her husband, Tim Rosenman, already share 4-year-old daughter, Sonny Sanford Rosenman.
The television personality started her YouTube channel in 2012 and posted a few fashion-related videos before revamping it as a vlog channel in 2017 to keep The Hills fans up to date with her day-to-day life. At the start of the 2020 lockdown, Whitney began posting reaction videos of her and her husband watching episodes of The Hills spinoff show, The City. They then moved on to The Hills and are currently on season 6, the final season of the original series. But that's not all she shares on her channel.
At the start of her latest episode, Whitney announced that she is seven weeks pregnant but is terrified that she will experience another unhealthy pregnancy. The fashion designer began her latest YouTube video explaining that along with her two prior miscarriages, she had also had a chemical pregnancy. The star said, "I'm currently seven weeks pregnant, which is supposed to be obviously really exciting, and it has been up until yesterday." The Hills star explained that after a visit to the doctor, things were not looking as they should at seven weeks. She told viewers, "this is likely another unhealthy pregnancy." During the vulnerable video, Whitney and her husband shed tears and opened up about their pain to their audience. The star of The Hills said she did not want to hide this and continue on with her videos as if nothing was wrong, especially because this gives an opportunity to connect with other women who are going through the same thing.
The star admitted she is scared for herself, her confidence, and her self-worth. However, she wanted to open the space up for others in similar situations to express their emotions and feel heard and understood. Whitney stated, "This is a place where if anybody is going through this, that they can talk about it." The couple finished the announcement by assuring viewers that they are so grateful for their beautiful daughter, Sonny, and for each other. The video then took a turn for the better as the couple gave an update that their doctor found an embryo and a heartbeat. They asked viewers to "keep your fingers crossed."
The married couple is not alone in their situation. So many women around the world endure the same issues and emotional pain surrounding pregnancy. Coming out and speaking about such a personal issue publicly was a courageous and vulnerable thing for Whitney and Tim to do and the video hopefully allows so many women to feel heard and less alone. The best of luck to Whitney and Tim, as all The Hills fans will surely be keeping their fingers crossed just as the couple requested.
