The Hills star Whitney Port has confessed she feels “incomplete” as a mother-of-one as she still longs to expand her family with her husband Tim Rosenman.

Whitney Port feels “incomplete” as a mother-of-one.

The Hills star, 40, and her husband Tim Rosenman are parents to eight-year-old son Sonny but they have spent years trying to expand their family to give him a sibling and Whitney has now confessed she can’t give up her dream of having another child because she feels “insecure” about her role as a mother.

In an interview with Spread the Jelly, she explained: “I don’t think motherhood looks like what I imagined. I never thought I’d be a mom to an only child.

“I always knew I wanted more than one. I didn’t picture this, and that’s been a little weird for me. My identity as a mom doesn’t feel fully solidified yet because I feel incomplete. I really do.

“I’m trying to come to a place of acceptance with having one child, because I haven’t been able to get pregnant with a second. We’re still on the journey and still trying. But it feels like there’s a piece of my motherhood pie that isn’t complete.

“I feel insecure sometimes as a mom because of it. When I’m talking to other working moms, I don’t always feel like I’m on the same playing field. This sounds awful, but there’s this feeling like one isn’t enough … And I carry that insecurity. I’ve done a lot of work around it.”

She added: “Most of the time, I’m able to tell myself, Okay, if it’s just the three of us, that is wonderful. It really is. I’m so grateful that we were even able to have one. But there’s still a part of me that doesn’t feel complete.”

The couple turned to surrogacy after suffering multiple losses after having Sonny, and some of their surrogates have also miscarried following embryo implantation.

Whitney has now revealed they have changed doctors and are now starting a journey with a new surrogate – and she hopes to get started again by the end of the year.

She added: “We decided the best thing to do was to change all the variables. We switched doctors, did a new round of egg retrieval and embryo freezing, and found a new surrogate.

“Now we’re at the point of contracts with the surrogate and hoping to do a transfer by the end of this year. That’s where we’re at right now.”

It comes after Whitney previously declared she is feeling more positive about the next stage of the surrogacy journey.

During an appearance on her With Whit podcast, she said: “The surrogacy journey is on a positive trajectory. We just signed our contract and are now awaiting next steps for a transfer, but it’s hard to explain unless you’re in it.

“It’s hopeful and it’s exciting, but it’s also tiring and exhausting, like, you have all the hope in the world and you want to spread all this positive energy, but you’ve also had such failures that it’s hard for you to imagine anything going right.”
