Model and reality star Jessica White, 40, is determined to fulfill her dream of becoming a mother. White revealed that she is undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) to have a baby on her own–without a partner, following a miscarriage with her ex, Nick Cannon.
In an interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea,” White revealed, “The hormones are running rampant. I’m having hot flashes, I’m crying all the time. I’m mad about the wind blowing. It’s working!” White shared, describing her experience as a real-life “pin cushion” due to the numerous shots required for the treatment. “We’re going to go in next month and retrieve all the eggs,” she continued. “You get tired of being picked … and having to stab yourself in the stomach. It’s crazy but it’s worth it.”
White turned to IVF after discovering a sizable uterine fibroid and a 10-centimeter cyst that prevented her from successfully carrying a fetus to term. “I had six miscarriages,” she explained, noting that her fertility issues extended beyond the miscarriage with Cannon that she publicly spoke about in 2021. “No baby could actually survive in my womb in the first place,” she reflected. “It is a very lonely and isolating experience.”
Now, with her medical issues addressed and a supportive team of doctors, White is optimistic about starting a family. “I just keep thinking about those sweet two little babies that I’ll be implanting in my womb in the next couple of months,” she said, having already found a sperm donor. “I have my baby’s daddy … and I’m stuck on that being the one.”
White’s relationship with Cannon, a father of 12, ended partly due to his public announcement of having a baby with Brittany Bell. “She was aware that I had just had a miscarriage, two weeks prior to her news coming out, because he told me that he told her. And I was living at his house, she knew that as well,” White recalled. “But I found out on Instagram along with the rest of the world.”
White noted that she and Cannon “were about to start in vitro” when she discovered Bell was expecting her second child with Cannon in June 2020. “So, when I came out, people thought I was this homewrecker. No, there was a real life going on. I was bullied for months with that whole situation,” she said.
Despite their breakup, White still holds affection for Cannon. “I love Nick still. I’ll always love him. Nick and I grew up together, so that’s not something that will ever fade,” she said. “Whether children came here or not, his DNA is still implanted inside of me. It’s a part of my brain fragment now. It just didn’t work out, but the love will never be lost.”
As she embarks on this new chapter, White remains hopeful and resilient, looking forward to the possibility of motherhood through IVF.
