’90 Day Fiance’ Original Couple Status Check: Who’s Still Together?
Looking for lasting love. “90 Day Fiancé” has captivated audiences since its premiere in 2014 — and has more success stories than viewers might think. The TLC reality series, whose seventh season aired in early 2020, follows hopeful couples who have applied for or received their K-1 visas and must marry within 90 years […]
“Why do you want children? Why?” Statler responds before her friend breaks down in tears, declaring that “children make the world a better place.”
For her part, Statler is undecided about the prospect of having children. “They seem like a lot of work and a lot of money,” she said, noting that because she was adopted herself, she’s wary of imposing those problems on a baby in a similar situation. “I don’t know if I have the emotional and mental willpower. I don’t feel like I have that motherly bone in me.”
While Dempsey was hopeful about adoption, Statler explained that she was still dealing with her own issues.
“I think a lot of people just go into it believing that everything will work out and the child will be grateful to you and that things will be easy,” Statler said in a confessional. “That is simply not the case. I was taken away practically as soon as I was born, so I’ve always felt that part of me was missing, and I still have a lot of adopted trauma that I haven’t dealt with.”
She continued, “It’s honestly kind of triggering to have that kind of conversation.”
The clip ends on a tense note as Dempsey announces that she will one day “have a child,” whether alone or with a partner.
