The couple, like many women seeking donor insemination, were shocked by the lack of black applicants to choose from and Brat said The root that after scouring a few thousand potentials, their options were few and far between.

According to the abductor, 49, after weeding out several potential donors based on information revealed during Judy’s genetic screening, there were 300 options left and only one was Black.

Unfortunately, the only African American contestant wasn’t exactly what Brat was looking for in the looks department.

“And that [dude] looked like Jiminy Cricket. I was like, “I’m sorry but it wasn’t my choice,” she said The root, something she reiterated on the final season of Brat loves Judy.

She added that the selected donor is tall and attractive and his genes should match well with his wife, Judy’s.

“Because we didn’t have a lot of choices, he definitely wasn’t black. But I think we did a great job of selecting him. He’s handsome, he’s tall and I think he’s going to be handsome with my wife’s egg.

Black men make up less than 2% of sperm donors in cryobanks, leaving eggs from black women jostling for worthy candidates.

The artist and her entrepreneur spouse are open books on their journey as a baby and have shared more about their pregnancy on social media. The two hosted an IG Live on April 28 and discussed their IVF experience.

“We wanted to encourage people who believe in these myths that you are too old [to conceive]”, Judy said. “A lot of things we didn’t know before going into the process. We didn’t know that egg quality goes down at a certain age. learned and we just wanted to bring it to the fore so that more women can be educated and not discouraged.”

The compassionate couple also discussed the $10,000 grant they will give to one lucky woman for her own treatment.

As stated earlier, their path to childbearing was not easy as they were both hospitalized due to complications from IVF.

The couple detailed the scary times at Tamron Hall in a moving interview.

“…I was hospitalized with blood clots,” Judy said. “It’s been a lot but we weren’t giving up…We want a baby together. So we want it to be, you know, we wanted, we want part of me, part of her. So we both had to go through different things to get there. It has been a journey.

The couple divulge more about their donor father’s diary and the emotionally arduous IVF process in the new season of their reality show Brat likes Judy which premiered on April 27.

Although Da Brat is no stranger to reality TV as she has appeared on Growing up in hip-hop And surreal lifeshe was reluctant to make her private life public.

“I didn’t mind being a person on the show, but I never dug deep in my life,” the “Ghetto Love” rapper said. “It wasn’t a big deal until we had our first argument in Season 1, and I was like, ‘I don’t do this shit! I don’t like being vulnerable on TV.

Judy, on the other hand, wanted the cameras to capture their relationship authentically.

“I wanted to make sure that we were transparent on the show. And we can also show determination. You know, it’s getting ugly now, but it’s not going to stay ugly,” she explained.

The Kaleidoscope founder has three children from a previous relationship, but children weren’t initially part of Da Brat’s life plan. She said PEOPLE after falling in love with Judy,

“I started seeing life so differently. I was like, I kinda want me with you. Something special from both of us that we can share and nurture and love unconditionally.

And after years of failed attempts, the couple proudly announced their pregnancy with a maternity photo shoot in February and their gender reveal soon followed in March. The reality TV stars also celebrated their first wedding anniversary in the same month.

Most recently, they celebrated the fourth season of Brat likes Judy in a colorful and stylish premiere at Atlanta’s Regal Atlantic Station.
