Speaking about her journey to motherhood, Maria Menounos admitted that she was “fully prepared and aware” of never giving birth to a biological child, saying: “I was ready to give up. I was so tired and so exhausted. It is a financial and emotional drain. If it wasn’t for my “team” that came together to help me find the surrogate within a day, I don’t know where we would be right now. We would have lost the greatest joy of our lives… For anyone who is struggling, I would say, please hang in there and do whatever it takes.”
