Naomi on the possibility of having children (15:37-17:50)
Brie Garcia: Do you guys talk about it? I feel like you guys have been talking about it for the last decade.
Naomi: He’s been talking about it for a long time.
Nikki Garcia: Yeah. He was ready to lock it in.
Brie Garcia: He was ready 16 years ago.
Naomi: But my step kids, they’re 16 and 18 now.
Nikki Garcia: No, I can’t believe that.
Naomi: Jaiden is in college. Jayla’s next. So we’re also like, “Do we do it? Do we start all over?” or you know, do we just ride this thing out how it is, which is great too, so I never thought I’d be here struggling with this decision. I always wanted kids young. I always wanted a lot, but now I’m like, “Oh my gosh.” Your girl is getting up there. You know? I’m 37 and I’m like…
Nikki Garcia: That’s when I had Te.
Naomi: Whoa, like time. There’s no time. I got to figure this out, like, yesterday.
Nikki Garcia: You guys, we were 20, and you’re younger than us, so think of this. We started filming “Total Divas” at 29, 28 or 29.
Naomi: Nuts.
Nikki Garcia: Nuts, so you must have been 25, 26. I mean, that’s kind of wild.
Naomi: It went by so fast. I can’t believe I’m like, you know, asking myself, struggling with that question, but I’m definitely leaning towards it, but I also have, like, I’ve had health issues. I only have one ovary, so even if I wanted to continue wrestling longer, my biological clock, I can’t. I have to.
Brie Garcia: So, you would probably have to do IVF and you’d have to go through a whole process?
Nikki Garcia: Or surrogate or something?
Naomi: We have a lot to figure out, so I definitely, I won’t, you know, I have to step away and, you know, take care of my health, take care of myself and if we’re going to have kids, I have to start that process very soon, so with that on my mind, too, and on my plate, I think that makes, you know, my time left here even more special and valuable to me and that’s why I’m like, just so passionate about what I’m doing, because I really think this might be it.
