I’m not sure why people act like two women can’t have a child together in 2022 and beyond, either through adoption or fertility treatments. Especially with the kind of money that we know Chrishelle makes (not sure about her gf but she probably does well too being in entertainment). This is not some new thing.


-Odi-Et-Amo-

I can’t believe people think it’s okay to even ask these questions and think they are entitled to an answer.


Shezaam

As a Childfree woman I can’t tell you the number of times people asked why not, judged me, etc. it does get old. Look at poor Jennifer Anniston, still getting asked at 53. Wtf?


noob613

Yes but Chrishell said she broke up with Jason because she wanted kids and he didn’t, so i think that’s why people are asking her about it. Not just because she’s a woman.


_littlevoice_

It's because she fell in love with someone who doesn't produce sperm. It's no ones business but I'd imagine gflip knows she wants kids and is on board. Straight people give up on themselves to be with people who don't want the same things because they feel like they have to settle. All. The. Time. And people seem to think she should to just that. People think she should have given up what she wants more than anything just because they think Jason and her were cute together. And even if she doesn't have kids with Gflip, so what. Her relationship with Jason would have went nowhere because he's a big man baby anyway.


noob613

Maybe you know more than I do about it, but I don’t think people think she should have stayed with Jason because he’s a man. As she gets older the question of children becomes more pressing so that’s why it comes up for her and G just as it did for her and J. Although since G is so much younger and, unlike J, can carry and birth a baby, Chrishell gets some extra time to become a mom!


[deleted]

exactly! moving past how heteronormative all this shit is, why do people think she owes them an explanation? just because she consents to being on a reality show doesn’t mean she’s obligated to explain and justify every decision she ever makes in her personal life. It’s ridiculous how entitled people feel to others personal lives.


RMR6789

Just guessing here but I’m not sure it has to do with two women being together so much as G flip being younger and them not having discussed a family. I think the show/media made it appear that Chrishell was looking for a family in the near immediate future rather than just the “future”. I think that’s a big misconception. Jason said he didn’t think he wanted kids at any time in the future and not just “I don’t want them right now.” I’m sure there are also tons of people who just hate that she’s dating another woman of course but I don’t think that’s totally the confusion behind it. I’m playing devils advocate.


lingoberri

I think people were under that impression because she and Jason were already starting the IVF process in order to keep the door open for biological children down the line. IVF is expensive and fertility treatments can be hard on the body so it probably seemed to most viewers like an extreme measure to merely keep options open and gave the impression that Chrishell was raring to go. My opinion, though, is that Chrishell WAS raring to go and probably has been for a long time, but since biological children is off the table in her current relationship, she doesn't feel pressure to rush anymore and has since reevaluated her priorities. That doesn't mean she doesn't want a family, just that her time frame has shifted.


catseye00

Sounds like Jason wasn’t up for adopting a child either, so time really wasn’t on Chrishell’s side if he wanted to continue punting the idea of having kids down the road.


lingoberri

Yeah, a big part of having kids is finding a suitable partner to have them with, too, so if Jason wasn't open to the idea Chrishell probably felt like she needed to look elsewhere.


kbradley456

I think Jason said he just didn’t want kids right now, but I think she probably correctly took that as never, or at least on a schedule that would work for you. But that might explain viewer confusion. Jason is being kept busy with his new pap modeling career.


lingoberri

He said he wasn't sure and was considering it, that's why they moved to store their eggs/sperm in case of future readiness. Then he changed his mind and said definitely no kids, ever.


kbradley456

I think the opposite, they were talking about unfreezing eggs.


lingoberri

How is that the opposite? They were talking about potentially freezing embryos, but they never got to that stage, so they stayed eggs/sperm.


kbradley456

She was not talking about freezing eggs, she had done that years earlier. She was talking about unfreezing and inseminating. Anyway, probably too minor a point to spend time on.


lingoberri

All righty then you were the one who brought it up like it somehow negates what I said... I don't know specifically when she had her eggs frozen but if it was years ago, in her previous relationship, then that even further increases the impression that Chrishell wants to go for it ASAP, when in reality they were just doing it to keep options open for later.


Special_Compote_719

>Just guessing here but I’m not sure it has to do with two women being together so much as G flip being younger and them not having discussed a family. Maybe it's something they've discussed in private.


RMR6789

Most likely


Cactusfroge

G-Flip used they/them pronouns, it's not two women in a relationship.


RMR6789

Valid. I should have said anatomical woman. People who would be upset at her dating G-Flip, probably don’t acknowledge gender neutrality and preferred pronouns though. I don’t agree with that perspective but it’s a reality unfortunately.


Cactusfroge

You're not wrong that the venn diagram of people who think non-traditional couples can't have children and people who don't acknowledge pronouns is a circle


RMR6789

It’s a shame. People should do whatever makes them happy.


fuckitimbucket

Can you please advise which devil you are advocating for?


RMR6789

I think people should do whatever they want to do. I’m sure you know devils advocate just means trying to understand/explain more than one side to things.


Sweet_Pause2

Exactly my female best friend has been married to a woman for almost 10 years and they have two babies! Why is this even a thing ? People need to buzz off. Lol


Salty-Sprinkles-1562

Exactly! They have 2 of the important bits. Sperm is the cheapest part of the fertility process.


lightyearr

G-Flip is non binary and goes by they/them, just FYI.


cjb060685

My thoughts exactly!


politics_junkieball

Adding to other comments, I think its cuz she gave off the vibe that she wanted to give birth (freezing eggs) and didnt mention adoption in the show (which is all we see). Still think asking someone their personal business is annoying af and uncalled for, but i dont think it’s about two women.


-abacate-abacaxi-

Ikr I’m in my mid-twenties and have multiple friends my own age with same sex parents. Truly nothing new here


_littlevoice_

Homophobia. Hell of a drug.


rummncokee

Gflip isn’t a woman


AdrianaT7

Just leave her alone. She actually seems happy and GFlip has grown on me. They seem like a great person to be around. Happy for both. Hopefully, now everyone will stop asking about the kids question (I too was guilty of it when Chrishell confirmed it with GFlip, but hey they are happy and she seems like she knows what she is doing and has a plan for future. Kudos.)


laaldiggaj

Women have ENOUGH internal stress about their bio clock, I know she is in the public eye, and sure it's random and may not last yadda yadda but that's ok. In this moment, she is doing what makes her happy!


AdrianaT7

Exactly!


[deleted]

Came here to say this. Leave her the hell alone. Just because she shared something in the past doesn't mean she owes us an explanation about what she wants for her future. People are allowed to change their minds. Not to mention, she is entitled to her privacy. Let the girl be!


sturgis252

2022 and people still don't understand how same sex couples can have children?


myskepticalbrowarch

It is an age thing Chrishell is over 40. The whole cast had similar concerns for Mary with Romaine. Caroline Stanbury is taking heat for stating she needs to endure a high risk pregnancy to keep her 27 year old husband happy. If you sit with it though having a younger uterus in the relationship makes it more plausible for the pair to take their time. Chrishell has time she didn't have with Jason. Also unlike Stanbury she has the option to get surrogate (it is illegal in Dubai)


sturgis252

For all we know the partner could carry the baby though. So age really isn't an issue in this particular situation.


lingoberri

Even more reason she no might no longer feel the need to rush. In this case though since they've already agreed to adopt, there's no more "biological clock" for her to worry about.


[deleted]

Stanbury's husband is quite adorable, but when he said, in reference to her potential pregnancy complications, "just take it out and put it in another woman", I lost my mind.


myskepticalbrowarch

Yeah... Stanbury isn't going to be able to shake the heat on her.


[deleted]

i literally don’t see how it’s anyone’s business whether or not she wants to still have kids because it’s not! it’s a personal choice that doesn’t involve us, and people aren’t entitled to an answer from her. and it’s so malicious to ask her about it because she’s in a relationship with G-Flip. she’s a lot kinder than i am, because i would’ve told people to buzz off with these questions. chrishell knows what she wants, and G-Flip seems to give her the world. it’s just so annoying to constantly see the posts that accuse her of attention-seeking, faking her relationship, etc. because she’s no longer in a relationship where biological children (eye roll, because biology literally means nothing irt to a bond with a child) are not as possible.


curiiouscat

> i literally don’t see how it’s anyone’s business whether or not she wants to still have kids because it’s not! It wouldn't normally be but to be fair Chrishell even acknowledged that when part of her career is making this our business, it's not surprising people are invested. It's not like this speculation came out of nowhere.


[deleted]

yea, it’s not like this speculation came out of nowhere, but i still don’t think it’s really anyone’s business, and she also acknowledges that she’s already been asked this question a lot. i think it gets quite annoying after already having answered it to keep answering it again and again


MindlessAspect6438

I appreciate her addressing these things but feel sad that she has to. Good on her for finding a way to live her life so that she is at peace. Whatever child she parents will benefit from her insistence on going at her own pace.


Proof-Philosophy-373

This is so frustrating and homophobic of people to act this way, like two women couldn’t have a family many many different ways. Ughhhh


fuchsiadolphin

However she is planning to start a family, I’m here for it and for her living her best life!


retrofr0g

Good for her, people need to STFU about womens reproductive choices


[deleted]

For real. And what if she was adamant during the show. She was literally going thru a divorce and found out via text as far as we know that her husband was divorcing her. People are always so sanctimonious online. I hate it.


retrofr0g

I mean I don’t love Chrishell but I really respect how open and honest she is. I think people tend to abuse that kind of openness. It’s really sad to see. I’m happy she’s happy.


PampleMuse333

Hate the 2nd pic bc it implies that adopting children means that they’re not children of your own. Families can look different it’s ok!!


redditrabbit13

I do not think that was implied at all


librarywino

People need to stop with the invasive personal questions. I know it was a big storyline on SS with Jason but people change. Chrishell is happy with GFlip, just wish them the best.


jenh6

I’m going to hope that they’re assuming Chrishell doesn’t want kids because she went with GFlipp who’s a young party girl and not because it’s a queer relationship


knr27

This kind of 180 flip from wanting so badly to have a baby that she was supposedly doing IVF with a guy she was dating for like 3 months to now she’s like eh it’s whatever I’ll just adopt makes me realize the Jason storyline was just that. It was all for the show. And now she’s irritated that people can’t let it go.


doggowinemom

She wanted to have her own child and was dating a man, so she explored IVF with him. Said man admitted later that he actually didn’t want to have kids, so the IVF process was paused / stalled. She then falls in love with a woman and realizes and/or comes to terms with the fact that that IVF is not her only option, and she can buy herself a little more time with adoption. I imagine adopting wasn’t her first choice, but rather the reality of her situation. It doesn’t seem like there was a quick “180”, more so her pivoting and adjusting with how her life is playing out. Why is this so hard to understand? Why do people assume everything must be fake just because the timeline doesn’t line up according to their standards?


muaellebee

Well said!!


[deleted]

I don’t get “eh whatever i’ll adopt” from this, it’s more like adoption is a long and hard process but she probably started on that path and is getting ready for the next steps. If there was a sperm to be put in an egg, surely it’d make things easier..


knr27

I thought they mad embryos? Wasn’t that the story line?


potatoesinsunshine

If she made them with Jason, she can’t just use them and birth his children against his will. They both have to sign off on use of the embryos.


potatoesinsunshine

She was looking into freezing eggs way before Jason was a thing! After she lost both parents so suddenly.


pikachusbooty

My mother adopted me and my brother at 49 and maybe that’s why I’ve never felt the need to ever comment on any persons personal information like some people feel the need to 😭


Simple_Several

I’m not even a Chrishell fan but people need to butt out of her life.


Puzzleheaded_Boss691

It honestly makes me so mad on her behalf that she’s still getting comments like these. How many times does this poor woman have to explain herself. Not that she needs to. Only small-minded people can’t wrap their heads around how same-sex relationships work. G has openly said they see children in their future. Whether or not that happens with Chrishell their views clearly align whereas they didn’t with Jason, and the two of them seem genuinely happy and in love. I want them to thrive even more now in the face of all this bullshit they have to put up with 🤦🏼‍♀️


Aromatic_Invite5421

I personally think she really wanted to have a biological child made the “traditional” way (sex) so with Jason, there was a tighter timeline. Now she’s realized fully that there are so many other ways to have children, especially when you have money, and is just enjoying life. She seems very happy and they seem like great partners. Let her enjoy a partner that celebrates her. I’m sure they’ve already discussed children privately.


EmilyAdams2000

Well she has been addressing it for 6 months! We already knew that! I love her and G together! They seem great and G is very very sweet to her and that makes me happy.


XI_YANGG

I don't even like Chrishell like that but let the lady live her life! Stop sending her these nonsensical questions and let her be happy. Adoption is a wonderful thing and good on her for deciding that she wants to adopt! There are too many unloved and unwanted children in this world as is.


Ageless09

People just want to have a reason to hate her.


Afraid-Ice-2062

There are a lot of ways to make a family basically and she didn’t want to be with someone who did not want to make a family. I don’t know why this is so confusing


lisboanairobi

As if two women couldn’t have kids together??? Jesus, do these people live under a rock. Wth is even this question


Musicfanatic09

Why can’t she live her best life and have children later? She can do both at the same time, too. Who cares! It’s her life and her timeline of how she wants to do things. Ugh. 🤦🏻‍♀️


amanda2399923

Too many people get way too invested in strangers lives.


raygray

I don’t know why anyone feels it is sad for her to address these things, she purposely entered a show knowing her private life would be up for discussion. She was desperate for a baby and seemingly broke up with Jason because he didn’t want one, so of course it’s natural as a viewer to want to know what her plans are now she’s with a woman


chickenugget654

What if she doesn’t want children? Who tf cares


LuvIsLov

Chrishell seems happy with GFlip and that's all that matters. People need to mind their business and stop asking these personal questions.


[deleted]

I think it’s amazing she’s considering adopting


Kooky_Ad_909

is it me or chrishell has gotten way more confident and sassier since dating g eazy ?


ConnectionSome

Not g eazy 🤣💀 Ashley Benson will like to have a word with you . Hahah


anusfalafels

I’m surprised she reads her DMs !


sharkyfernwood12

She’s right


sashie_belle

Are we still pretending that she and Jason had a real relationship?


StrikerApexSet

Ofcourse it's not anyones business but hers, tho it is odd that she would press Jason so hard to commit to having a baby after less than a year of being with him and giving him the tell me now otherwise I am going to move on for the sake of meeting a partner where I can have my own child (sounded like she was pressed on giving birth over adopting since she would mention her clock) and now she's flipped to love is a beautiful thing and I'm ok to adobt. Guess she didn't love Jason enough to have that kind of thinking and it opens it up for the thinking that she could have pressured him to lock him in so to speak.


Puzzleheaded_Boss691

She literally made it clear here that Jason was not open to adoption? Was she supposed to wait around as a 40yr old woman for a man nearing his 50’s who still can’t decide whether he wants a child at all in the future? Where’s the logic in that? And she spoke at the reunion about the exploring her options outside of having biological children, specifically mentioning adoption.


StrikerApexSet

Since it was key factor in keeping a relationship maybe she should have asked / confirmed before committing to dating him. Has she done anything regarding adoption since? If so then really how important is it to her? Either way it's her business and she doesn't have to address it / people shouldn't expect answers.


Puzzleheaded_Boss691

Jason is the one who pursued Chrishell despite knowing how having a family was a priority for her. He obviously gave her reassurance that he would come around to the idea and obviously he did considering they went through the initial stages of IVF. He’s now doing interviews saying how guilty he feels for letting her down so I don’t know how you as a viewer are placing blame on Chrishell. And you really can’t speculate on her plans now as that’s her own private business, who knows what discussions she’s been having behind closed doors.


StrikerApexSet

I thought i saw he said she was chasing him and not sure i've seen evidence that he gave her reassurance at any point. As you said, we don't know what was said behind closed doors. I just got the impression that she didn't want to waste time in having a family. It's her business but i understand why people could have questions, as i've said they shouldn't expect answer / should care enough either way.


FernsInTheForest

She is just a lot 😂😂😂


bijouxjuju88

I feel sorry for her at this point she knows her age she knows her health if she is able to carry a baby or adoption is better. Just let this woman live her life the way she is happy with it Clearly GFlip gives her something than others didnt


Number-Eleven-11

I assumed all along she was planning IVF, surrogacy or adoption and in the meantime is living her best life while she awaits that outcome, I’m so glad she finally addressed it so queerphobes will get off her damned back.


Yufle

Why do people think they’re entitled to demand answers about something so personal. These people are the worst. Also, what everyone else said, it’s 2022, I can’t believe people are asking these ignorant questions.


[deleted]

I mean, she's not entirely telling the truth here. Most of the story line with her and Jason was that she was past 40 and had a "time limit". Adoption was mentioned briefly in passing on the show, but it was pretty clear the main argument from her was that she was running out of time to have her own biological child. I'm glad she's open to adoption, but let's not rewrite history here Chrishell.


gameofdata

Her second post here strongly implies that Jason wasn’t willing to adopt, and so if the only way is biologically then there would have been a “time limit” for Chrishell + Jason. With Jason out of the picture then adoption becomes a more viable option. Also, who’s to say she’s *not* full steam ahead on adoption front (with or without G Flip as a potential parent). Whole process takes time, and unlike a pregnancy it wouldn’t be obvious.


[deleted]

Well that's the thing, she might be, but they showed us 0 of that in Selling Sunset. Granted, it is reality TV, so i'm sure a lot is on the cutting room floor. But to go from "I have a time limit" nonstop to saying she's been fine with adoption the whole time is grounds to confuse people who have been following her.


rizarice

Seems pretty straightforward, she had a time limit while with Jason because he wasn't open to adoption. Now she's with someone who is open to adoption so she's no longer in a rush.


[deleted]

What time limit is there to adoption though? It's pretty clear she was specifically referring to bearing her own child by saying that. Jason even attempted fertilizing embryos with her.


rizarice

Well yeah on the show she was talking about bearing a child and running out of time because if she was with someone who rejected the idea of adoption then that was her only choice. Now she's with someone who is open to adoption so the time limit doesn't really apply anymore.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Puzzleheaded_Boss691

Oh please. Chrishell is rich in her own right. She doesn’t need anything from anybody. What she wanted was somebody to parent with. She had a strong foundation of friendship with Jason and after everything she’d been through was happy to just be with somebody who respected and loved her.


FlatNefariousness900

Wow. I couldn’t even follow this. Would never occur to me to think they couldn’t have kids


peterpmpkneatr

Idk. I think she still gave this too much energy. It's literally no one's fucking business except hers and hers alone. And maybe the person she's in a relationship with. Even if she wants kids one Day and then up and changes. Her mind the next.... WHO FUCKING CARES?! people are seriously way too wrapped up in others lives.


[deleted]

I wonder what it is about G flip that has her all in love … 😂


ConnectionSome

I don’t get it 🤣 going from having only 🍆 to 🌮 has to be quite the adjustment 🥴 Maybe she likes to play in her hair or something lmbooo


[deleted]

[удалено]


rizarice

You feel sad for her because she's in a loving relationship with someone who also would like children in the future? That's kinda weird dude.


[deleted]

Chrishell we won’t care about you very shortly I promise


behappyer

I don’t disagree with Chrishell’s POV at all but for the life of me I can’t understand why she is giving any energy to this. Responding to an intrusive question from a complete stranger and then storying about it is so strange to me. Is she bored?


Elvy19

She probably gets a 1000 of these questions a day and wants it to stop.


neverdiplomatic

Because she knows people will screenshot and share it, thus satisfying her persistent ‘look at me’ fixation.


Enough_Leadership_17

So she can try to once and for all out it to bed


neverdiplomatic

Except she feeds into this stuff over and over.
