Why Keshia Knight Pulliam Decided To Freeze Her Eggs

Keshia Knight Pulliam Opens Up About Freezing Her Eggs | OWN Your Health

“When this whole documentary started, I just came on to narrate. I never in a million years thought I would also be active in front of the camera part of this documentary,” she said. “I decided to freeze my eggs because I’m 41. I know I want another baby but I also know the time isn’t now.”

The former child star had her daughter Ella Hartwell at 38 years old when she was married to former NFL player Ed Hartwell, but they ended up divorcing in 2016. Keshia admitted that she thought she would “have plenty of time” to have another baby, but the divorce changed things.

“Not to say it was wrong, but sometimes life throws you curveballs and you could have your perfect forever planned out but you have to embrace because what I have learned is my Plan B has always been God’s Plan A,” she said.

Keshia, who serves as an executive producer on the documentary, went on to marry Brad in late September 2021 after two years of dating. Her A House Divided acting husband doesn’t have kids of his own so Keshia freezing her eggs will give them an opportunity to have their first child together.

The Eggs Over Easy doc is a part of Oprah Winfrey’s health initiative called Own Your Health which focuses on Black women’s experience with infertility, IVF, miscarriages, and other health-related issues that they face.

Eggs Over Easy premieres on January 4, 2022.
