Whitney Port is facing another setback on her journey to welcoming a second child.
During the Thursday (April 3) episode of her With Whit podcast, the 40-year-old former The Hills star revealed that her and husband Tim Rosenman‘s surrogate suffered a miscarriage.

Both transfers ended up miscarrying.”
She went on to say that the “last miscarriage was just a month ago.”
“It’s worth saying that both were after 7 and a half weeks, where we were told we had a 97 percent chance of a successful pregnancy,” Tim, 43, added. “To have that back-to-back, the odds are really crazy. So, now we’re thinking that there might be something going on, either with the surrogate or with our embryos.”
Now, Whitney and Tim, who are parents to 7-year-old son Sonny, are looking into their next fertility steps.
“We’re at this beginning phase again,” Whitney explained. “We still have three embryos left, two that are tested and one that’s untested. We’re deciding, ‘Do we try a new lab?’ [or] ‘Do we do another round of egg retrieval to get new embryos? Are all these embryos from the last batch not good, or do we put in one of the embryos that’s already made it in the surrogate right now?’”
Whitney then stressed that she and Tim are “not back to square one” since they already have a handful of embryos stored.
“We have an amazing agency that’s helping us with the surrogacy journey,” Whitney noted. “We’re definitely not at square one, but it feels that way each time a miscarriage happens.”
Ever since welcoming Sonny in 2017, Whitney and Tim have faced a lot of struggles while trying for their second child, including several pregnancy losses.
Back in 2023, Whitney opened up about after being diagnosed with “a type of disordered eating.”
