Love Is Blind star Chelsea Griffin isn’t letting her divorce from Kwame Appiah interfere with her plans of one day becoming a mom.
“My life took a change, and I’d been married for four years, and that chapter came to a close,” Chelsea, 35, told People on Wednesday, July 22. “I’m 35 years old, and I had to look in the mirror and make some important decisions about my life and my fertility because I’ve always wanted to be a mom.”
Chelsea, who announced her split from Kwame, 36, in May, noted that she decided to turn to Pacific Northwest Fertility to help her preserve her fertility in the wake of her split. After perusing her options, she decided to freeze her eggs for when she’s ready for children.
“Knowledge gives us confidence, and I feel like once I understood my options, I felt so much more at peace and empowered about doing something for me,” she revealed.
