Paris Hilton and her boyfriend Carter Reum had IVF with Kim Kardashian’s fertility doctor and talking to The Trend Reporter host Mara Schiavocampo while on her podcast, she said:
“We have been doing the IVF so I can pick twins if I like. Kim is actually the one who told me about that—I didn’t know anything about it. I am happy she told me that advice and introduced me to her doctor.”
Hilton then added: “I really want twins who are a boy and a girl. So, this is the only way to 100% get that.”
I guess that's what triggered people because many women found it offensive that someone wants to use IVF as a luxury to have kids of a preferred gender.
However, I believe IVF was not as much a choice for Hilton and she probably just chose the wrong words. She'd frozen her eggs a few years ago (also on the recommendation of Kim K) and the only way to use those was IVF now.
