Thore continued, “It’s something that’s always been really on the forefront of my mind. And I think now, you know, people say like, ‘Oh, what was the moment that made you realize you wanted to do artificial insemination? And I can’t really pinpoint one moment.” However, she shared that her age was also a contributing factor to the decision.

The star explained, “I just really don’t have a lot of time, and I need to honestly like decide what I want and just make it happen. You know, unfortunately, motherhood is often something that involves another person, but if you don’t have the luxury of having a partner to have a child with, you know, there is another option.”
