Million Dollar Listing New York star Fredrik Eklund has shared a devastating setback in his quest to start a family with his husband, Derek Kaplan.
On Tuesday, Eklund took to Instagram to let his fans know that the couple’s surrogate had miscarried their twins.
“I'm sad to share we've had a failed pregnancy,” he wrote as a caption to a loving photo of himself with Kaplan. “I have cried so much that I can't cry anymore. We were pregnant with twins but we're not anymore.”
Us Weekly notes the successful real estate broker and author has documented his desire for a daughter named Milla on the Bravo show.
”I get baby clothes sent to the office by kind strangers, and it seems that more people are invested in our little family than I could ever imagine,” he also wrote. “Our family is no different from yours... we just want to build our own unit of love in our own home.”
He admitted to feeling like a “failure” but admits it does get easier with time and promises to never give up on having a family.
“I've heard these stories so many times before, about couples who've tried so hard and for so long but now I fully understand how difficult it can be,” he wrote.
