Fredrik Eklund Suffers Major Setback In Baby Plans: ‘I Remember Filming That Scene And Crying’


Fredrik Eklund is on a mission this season. Eklund’s husband, Derek Kaplan, revealed that he is ready to have a child, which is something Fredrik had been looking forward to. On a previous season of Million Dollar Listing: New York, Derek revealed that he would not want children because of Fredrik’s work schedule. Clearly, he was afraid that he would be left alone with the child, risking his own art career.

But Fredrik Eklund may have changed his work schedule around and shown Kaplan that he can take time off from his work when required. Earlier this season on Million Dollar Listing: New York, Derek revealed that he was ready to have children and the journey began to find eggs from a willing donor. As revealed on the show, this has been a struggle.

According to a new Bravo report, Fredrik Eklund and his husband suffered a setback on last night’s episode, as their ideal donor decided to back out. Fredrik had asked his best friend, Anna, for her eggs, but since she had just entered a new relationship, she felt weird about it. And this was heartbreaking for Eklund.

“Sitting down with Anna and asking her the big question wasn’t easy. We put so much hope on her, and I really thought she would say yes. I remember filming that scene and crying, but at the same time I want to be supportive of her choices and her new relationship. Derek is my voice of reason and as he said in that scene, everything does happen for a reason,” Fredrik Eklund reveals after learning that his best friend would not be providing her eggs to the couple.

According to the Inquisitr, Eklund has been trying to take things as they come. However, Fredrik has wanted a daughter for years and he already knows what her name will be. Her name will be Milla and he always pictured her with brown hair and blue eyes. And as Eklund teases, next week’s episode will be big.

“It’s about to get a little heated, but I’m not going to give up. Never. Actually, I’m not going to give up on the eggs or on setting new price records in real estate,” Fredrik Eklund reveals, adding, “I’m going to keep this blog short until next week, when things really take off. Until then I’m sending you lots of love and Swedish meatballs!”

But the couple did manage to secure some eggs. In mid-April, the couple announced that they are expecting a daughter via surrogate.
