Brynn Whitfield is eager to embrace motherhood in the near future. On the latest episode of The Real Housewives of New York, the 37-year-old revealed that she froze her eggs earlier this year and has plans to become a mom within the next few years. Although not married, Whitfield shared that she’s considering asking her ex-fiancé, Gideon Lang-Laddie, to be a sperm donor.
Reflecting on her situation, Whitfield confessed in a confessional that dating in her late 30s has made finding suitable partners more challenging. “When you get in your late 30s, the pool is much smaller.

All the good ones are taken,” she said. “It seems like there were more eligible, nice, kind men available in your 20s.” She humorously compared herself to Carrie Bradshaw, expressing regret over not marrying Aiden.
In a conversation with fellow cast member Rebecca Minkoff, Whitfield admitted that she wished she had considered motherhood earlier in life. She joked, “Do you know what my biggest regret is? All the times I took Plan B with dudes like hot, smart, IPO-ing, billionaires. Why did I take Plan B?”
Whitfield also opened up about her egg-freezing experience, revealing the physical toll it took on her. “Maybe I’m 30, but I know I’m going to be a mom. Dude, I’ve gone through nine days of egg-freezing. I’m f——— injecting myself. I’m a bloated f—— blueberry walking around. I look crazy.”
In another confessional, she shared that the process went well, with a successful retrieval of eggs in January. “I froze my eggs in London in January,” she explained. “So I froze them there, I was very lucky. I got 15 eggs. I’m glad that I did this. It was on my mind more than I thought.”
Back with Minkoff, Whitfield reassured her that she is determined to expand her family. “I know I’m going to be a mom. I don’t know about how many, but I know there’s definitely one,” she said.
Later in the episode, Whitfield approached her ex-fiancé, Gideon, to ask if he would ever consider donating sperm to help her have a child. “Well I was thinking, you know, crazy idea. What if we took some of those eggs out of the freezer and then made an embryo with your sperm?” she suggested.
Although initially lighthearted, Whitfield clarified her serious intentions, explaining, “I’m serious about this. I know I’m laughing, but it’s because I get nervous. I’m not saying I want to do the baby thing yet, I’m just like, ‘Do you want to make an embryo?’”
In her confessional, Whitfield reflected on how her path to parenthood is different from what she had envisioned. “I was very much raised — I meet someone, I fall in love, we get married. Couple years we have kids, etc. And now I’m 38, and it’s not that linear anymore for me,” she said.
She added, “So I have a decision. Instead of choosing romance for myself, I can choose a good father for my future children. And I think that Gideon is just a really, really good man. Period.”
In the conversation with Gideon, Whitfield continued to discuss the possibility of having a child together. “I love the idea,” Gideon responded. “Hand on heart, love the idea. I think you would make an incredible mother. I’ve always thought that.”
However, Whitfield made it clear that she wants to act quickly. “So look, I’m 38 now. I want to have a kid at least by 40. So if I want to do that, then I think it needs to happen Q1 2025,” she said, leaving Gideon visibly shocked.
