Khloe Kardashian Chose a Surrogate As She ‘Didn’t Want To Put Her Body Under More Strain’

Well, according to a source, the use of a surrogate is down to “medical reasons: “There were medical reasons that factored into her decision to use a surrogate, but not putting such a strain on her body was a huge motivation”, they told Heat Magazine.

“Kim and Khloe know their bodies are their meal ticket, they made a pact at the start of the year that they’d go all out to get into the best possible shape and they’ve thrown themselves into the project,” the source added. “It’s getting quite competitive between them — they’re both in the gym constantly and are spending thousands every months on their looks. They live to see jaws dropping with envy, admiration and confusion everywhere they go.”

But some fans have speculated that the decision to use a surrogate might also be down to the rounds of IVF and sustained angst the getting pregnant with daughter True entailed. Khloe underwent three failed cycles of IVF and been forced to abandon the eggs she once froze because they weren’t strong enough to survive the defrosting process.

The star has previously revealed that she was so worried that something would go wrong, she waited until she was six months gone before she and partner Tristan announced the news.

Hinting at her struggles to conceive, she told the hosts of the Lady Parts podcast at the time: “I had been waiting and wondering but God had a plan all along. He knew what He was doing. I simply had to trust in Him and be patient.”

Well, whatever the reason for her decision, we’re sending Khloe Kardashian the biggest congratulations. True is about to make the most adorable big sister.
