Whitney Port and her husband, Tim Rosenman, are looking into their next fertility steps after their surrogate recently suffered a miscarriage.
“We decided to go down the surrogacy road at the end of last year after a really long journey of not being able to conceive on our own and just having so many things go wrong,” Port, 40, recalled on the Thursday, April 3, episode of her “With Whit” podcast. “We found an amazing surrogate, and we ended up doing two transfers with the surrogate. Both transfers ended up miscarrying.”
According to The Hills alum, 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,” Rosenman, 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.”

Whitney Port and Tim Rosenman are everyone’s couple goals. The pair met in the mid 2000s at a birthday dinner for one of Port’s ex-boyfriend’s. “Tim was there. And I sat across from him,” she told She Knows in 2014. “I left the dinner saying to a mutual friend, ‘Oh my god. Who is that […]
Now, Port and Rosenman are figuring out their next steps in the journey.
“We’re at this beginning phase again,” Port said. “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?’”
Port further stressed that she and her husband 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,” Port noted. “We’re definitely not at square one, but it feels that way each time a miscarriage happens.”

The reality TV alum and Rosenman, who got married in 2015, welcomed son Sonny two years later in July 2017. They’ve since suffered multiple pregnancy losses before exploring surrogacy in 2023.
“I suffered from secondary infertility, and it has just been such a process both physically and mentally to get to that second baby,” Port exclusively told Us Weekly in July 2023 about using a gestational carrier. “Right now, going through the motions of surrogacy, like, really thinking seriously about that and we have embryos [stored].”
She added at the time, “It’s just a process. Like, it just doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a whole thing.”
Port revealed on her podcast in November 2023 that they found a surrogate, but she suffered two miscarriages after the embryo transfer.
As Port deals with the fertility journey, she has been able to lean on Rosenman for support.
“It’s so much,” she said on Thursday. “I’m so grateful that you’re such a great partner and in this with me, but it makes me sad for people [who] may not have someone like you to hold their hand through it.”
