Paige DeSorbo Shares Update on Becoming a Mom
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Summer House's Paige DeSorbo froze her eggs over Mother's Day Weekend and opened up about the side effects and the part that didn't scare her about the process. The Context Over the years on reality television, DeSorbo has shared her complicated feelings about becoming a mom. She started out as someone who fans expected to be married and with kids in just a few years, but with her growing professional success became less interested in rushing to start a family and more interested in continuing on her business journey. Some fans speculated that DeSorbo's hesitancy to settle down into a traditional wife and mother role sparked her breakup with Southern Charm's Craig Conover. Conover shared on this season of the show that he wanted to freeze his sperm to guarantee he could have a family one day. What To Know DeSorbo said on Tuesday's episode of her "Giggly Squad" podcast that she had her retrieval on Friday, and the doctor was able to retrieve 28 eggs. However, only 13 were considered mature, which is necessary to eventually make an embryo. "That's a really good amount of eggs," DeSorbo said. The 32-year-old said she could decide to do a second egg retrieval to boost the number of eggs she has available for when she wants to become a mom. It's generally expected that about 50 percent of mature eggs will turn into embryos once fertilized. Then, embryos are usually tested for genetic abnormalities, which can further reduce the number of embryos that are considered healthy for transfer. Leading up to egg retrieval, a woman has to inject herself with multiple shots each day, and DeSorbo said she was nervous about it but surprised herself at how good she was at it. But, she also underestimated how significant the recovery would be after the retrieval. DeSorbo said she feels very bloated, which is a common side effect, and she's had to remind herself her body went through a "trauma experience" and she needs to give herself grace. Paige DeSorbo is seen outside NBC Studio on April 15, 2025 in New York City. Paige DeSorbo is seen outside NBC Studio on April 15, 2025 in New York City. Raymond Hall/GC Images DeSorbo and Conover split late last year after a multi-year relationship and viewers have watched DeSorbo open up about her decision to become a mom one day, just not yet. Along with her job being on Summer House, DeSorbo just released a New York Times bestselling book with Berner, has several major brand partnerships, recently embarked on a successful podcast tour and hosts content on Amazon Live. Now that she's frozen her eggs, DeSorbo said she feels a lot less pressure about motherhood, and if she only has one child, she's fine with that because it's what's meant to happen. DeSorbo also opened up about her sympathy for women who go through in vitro fertilization multiple times, given the toll it takes on your body physically and emotionally. "I don't know how the female body does it. Everything you feel is just so tender," DeSorbo said. "The fact that women aren't seen as these goddesses in society, I don't understand it." She first announced she was freezing her eggs in January and said she was someone who has "always known" she would eventually freeze her eggs. DeSorbo's received mixed diagnoses as to whether she has PCOS, which, she told Berner isn't uncommon because it's a condition that's hard to diagnose. Women with PCOS can face difficulties getting pregnant naturally because of an irregular cycle and problems with ovulation. What People Are Saying DeSorbo on Giggly Squad podcast: I'm very proud of myself for doing the whole process. The one thing I'll say about it is it's harder than you think it's going to be and it's also way easier than you think it's going to be. Berner on Giggly Squad podcast: So Paige has been going around acting like she's pregnant. She's sending me photos going, how cute do I look? Cause she's slightly bloated after gettign her eggs removed. When I say slightly bloated I mean she looks like me after a first bite of a chicken sandwich." What's Next DeSorbo said she may consider another round in the fall, depending on how her body recovers. If she does it, she'd do it in the fall because she needs to "give my body a break." She told Berner that this is a decision she made for 10 years from now, adding that "men could never."

MLB Power Rankings: Freddie Freeman leads Dodgers, the Cardinals and Twins are rolling
Featured in this week's MLB Power Rankings, Tarik Skubal is close to perfect, Jasson Dominguez makes history, the Cardinals and Twins are streaking, the Jung brothers square off on Mother's Day Weekend, and the Pirates and Rockies change managers. Let's get started! (Please note these power rankings are a combination of current performance and long-term projected outlook) Eric Samulski, **Rankings are from the morning of Monday, May 12** Last week: 1 Freddie Freeman is the hottest hitter on the planet right now. Despite an ankle injury that isn't 100 percent, the 35-year-old is hitting .475 with five homers and 22 RBI over his last 16 games. He has 10 multi-hit games during that span and has raised his season batting average from .250 to .376 along the way. Last week: 2 On Saturday night, Stephen Kolek threw a shutout at Coors Field as the Padres crushed the Rockies 21-0. It was the largest margin of victory for the Padres in franchise history and one of the most lopsided shutout wins of all-time. largest wins in a pitcher's individual shutout: 8/21/1883 Old Hoss Radbourn 28-0, Providence Grays 6/28/1887 Charlie J. Ferguson 24-0, PHI 5/27/1885 Mickey Welch 24-0, NYG 7/6/1883 Will White 23-0, CIN Today Stephen Kolek 21-0, SD 8/13/39 Red Ruffing 21-0, NYY (8 inn) 9/15/1901… Last week: 4 After running away with the Cy Young Award last season, Tarik Skubal has been even better so far this season. The southpaw owns a 2.08 ERA through eight starts and carried a perfect game into the sixth inning in his most recent start against the Rangers on Friday. Tarik Skubal generated 32 whiffs today - the most by any pitcher in a start this season! Last week: 3 New York sports talk radio was having a cow over the first few weeks of the season, but it turns out that Juan Soto is going to be just fine. What a concept! Soto is slashing .282/.383/.718 with five homers through 10 games this month. Last week: 8 Joe DiMaggio was the youngest player in Yankees history to hit three home runs in a game…until Jasson Dominguez pulled off the feat against the Athletics on Saturday. First career 2-homer game ✅ First career 3-homer game ✅ Jasson Domínguez is out of this world! Last week: 5 The Cubs have cooled a bit over the past week having lost back-to-back series. Their high-powered offense has been held to two runs or fewer in three of out their lost four games, but the back-end of the bullpen is the real concern here. Last week: 9 I already deemed Freddie Freeman as the hottest hitter on the planet, but Kyle Schwarber is in the middle of something special right now. After his two-homer game on Sunday against the Guardians on Sunday, he's now reached base in 46 consecutive games. That's the longest such streak by a Phillies player since Bobby Abreu from 2000-2001. A Schwar💣 on #SundayNightBaseball! Last week: 6 The Giants were swept by the suddenly red-hot Twins over the weekend despite Heliot Ramos' best efforts. The 24-year-old has homered in back-to-back games and is slashing .419/.500/.767 over his last 13 contests. Last week: 10 Awesome moment from the Mother's Day edition of the Sunday Night Baseball broadcast, as Stephen Vogt's wife, Alyssa, asked him a very important question. Vogter had a visiting reporter ask him a question on tonight's broadcast. 😂#GuardsBall I so felt that pause and momentary panic from Mr. Vogt. Also, how cool is it that the manager also gets the sunflower seed treatment from his players/coaches? It's good to be humbled. Last week: 12 The Royals remain one of the hottest teams in the majors despite dropping back-to-back games to the Red Sox to close out the weekend. Led by a pitching staff with the second-lowest ERA in the majors, Kansas City is 16-4 over their last 20 games. Last week: 7 The Mariners were swept by the Blue Jays over the weekend, including another distressing start from Bryce Miller. The good news is that George Kirby is inching his way back to the Mariners' rotation as he returns from shoulder inflammation. He made his second rehab start on Saturday and could be back with the Mariners next week. Last week: 13 In the wake of his very public and awkward rejection of playing first base, Rafael Devers is 9-for-15 (.600) with two homers and eight RBI over his last four games. He slugged an absolute bomb of a go-ahead homer on Sunday as the Red Sox cooled down the Royals. Last week: 23 Our biggest riser of the past week, the Cardinals have won eight straight to surge into second place in the NL Central, just one game behind the Cubs. Victor Scott II has been right in the middle of it, as he's hit safely in 11 straight games. With his elite range in center field and his top-tier speed, the Cardinals have found themselves a keeper. Last week: 11 It was great to see Corbin Burnes bounce back after his recent shoulder scare, but the biggest news to start the week is that Jordan Lawlar is reportedly on the way to join the big club. The 22-year-old has been quiet with the bat this month in Triple-A, but still owns a healthy .336/.413/.579 batting line with six homers and 13 steals across 37 games on the year. He'll presumably bounce around the infield to start, giving breathers to Ketel Marte, Geraldo Perdomo, and Eugenio Suárez. Last week: 15 The Braves have had a couple of chances over the past week to reach the .500 mark, but have fallen short. Still, they are 19-14 since that 0-7 start to the season. Last week: 24 The other big riser of the week, the Twins have also won eight straight to climb over .500. Unfortunately for them, everyone (outside of the White Sox, anyway) have also been playing well. Last week: 17 The Astros have yet to be more than three games over .500 or two games under .500, so they continue to sit in the middle of the pack. Getting a healthy Yordan Alvarez back could help push them back into contention. Alvarez, who is working his way back from a muscle strain in his hand, could potentially return from the injured list this week. Last week: 14 In a fun scheduling quirk, the Jung brothers (Rangers third baseman Josh Jung and Tigers infielder Jace Jung) squared off on Mother's Day weekend. The brothers were both playing third base on Saturday, so naturally they played a game of Tic-Tac-Toe. Josh homered on Mother's Day, so he gets the edge this time. Brotherly competition never stops 😂 Last week: 16 After giving up seven runs or more in all three games against the Yankees this weekend, the Athletics now have a 5.81 ERA (28th in MLB) at home this season as opposed to a 3.74 ERA (sixth-best) on the road. Last week: 19 In a 4-for-39 slump going into Sunday's action, Christian Yelich decided to switch it up by using a pink bat to honor his mom. And sure enough, he went yard. Sources say that if he doesn't keep using it, he's grounded. Christian Yelich hit an opposite field solo homer with his pink Mother's Day bat with his mom's name, Alecia. 💕 Last week: 21 The Blue Jays might have something in Addison Barger. While it isn't apparent from his results so far, the 25-year-old hits the ball extremely hard. Among players with at least 25 batted ball events, he ranks third among hitters in average exit velocity, behind Shohei Ohtani and Oneil Cruz, and ahed of Aaron Judge, Rafael Devers, and Pete Alonso. Not too shabby. Addison Barger has FIVE hits this series. They've ALL been hit over 107 MPH 💣 Last week: 18 The Reds have lost seven out of nine, as well as their ace Hunter Greene due to a groin strain. Fortunately, the injury shouldn't keep him on the shelf for long. Last week: 20 Give the Rays some credit for their creativity. They gave out commemorative ponchos for their first-ever rain delay on Saturday. Here's the ponchos #Rays are giving out: The Rays took two out of three from the Brewers this weekend, giving them their first series win at home since April 11-13. While the final line didn't show it, Michael Soroka pitched well in his return from the injured list last Wednesday against the Guardians, striking out eight before running out of steam late. This week, he'll face the Braves (his former team) for the first time in his career. Last week: 25 Things aren't looking a heck of a lot better here even after taking two out of three form the Angels over the weekend, but one bright spot has been the recent progress from 21-year-old Jackson Holliday. With a recent change in his batting stance, he's hitting .324 with two homers and a double over his last 11 games. He's starting to earn a more prominent place in the order for a team who needs a boost in the worst way. Last week: 26 No team has struck out more often than the Angels this season (27 percent). And making matters worse, they also have the lowest walk rate (six percent) in the majors. Last week: 28 Sandy Alcantara has been speculated as an obvious trade candidate this summer, but the results haven't been there so far. He actually looked great on Sunday against the White Sox until serving up a go-ahead three-run home to rookie slugger Tim Elko. Still, a step in the right direction for the former Cy Young Award winner. Last week: 27 Derek Shelton took the fall last week for the Pirates' miserable start to the season. The failure goes well beyond anything Shelton did, but ownership can't fire themselves. The club took two out of three from the Braves over the weekend under interim manager (and former bench coach) Don Kelly, so the Pittsburgh-area native is off to a good start. Last week: 29 The White Sox have Pope Leo XIV on their side, which should provide some hope to fans, no? Before he became the Pope, he was cheering on the White Sox at Game 1 of the 2005 World Series on FOX 🙌 Last week: 30 The Rockies made a managerial change of their own this weekend, as they parted ways with longtime skipper Bud Black. The change comes on the heels of an embarrassing 21-0 loss to the Padres on Saturday night, though at least Black to go out as a winner on Sunday.

Storms to lull in Charlotte before slight risk of severe weather Friday afternoon
(PINPOINT WEATHER) — Morning storms will taper off with a few lingering showers lasting into daybreak on Friday. Patchy fog will develop throughout the morning with moisture and limited visibility kicking off the end of the work week. Temperatures will be locked into the low 60s and mid- to upper 50s from our mountains into the 60s as relatively light winds sit over the Carolinas. We'll see fog dissipate and clouds open up a bit for a mix of sun and clouds through midday. Highs will peak near 80 degrees, landing just above normal for this time of year. We'll see a quick pop of afternoon showers and storms between 1 PM and 5 PM. These storms will track south and east swiftly with a marginal risk for severe weather south and east of Uptown. Lows will bottom out in the low 50s this Friday evening, making for a cool start to Mother's Day Weekend. Look for a pleasant and mostly dry Saturday with highs expected to hit the low 70s. Cooler temperatures through the weekend will linger as a low-pressure system sits over the southeast. We'll introduce a low rain chance for Mother's Day on Sunday as highs settle in the mid-70s. Skies will be mostly cloudy with relatively light winds ahead of higher rain chances heading into early next week. On Monday, we will see higher activity as rain and storm chances ramp up. Temperatures will start the week in the low 70s but warm up as we head into the middle of the work week. The 80s will return Wednesday and Thursday, with rain chances finally taking a break by the end of the week. Friday: Seasonable with a Mix of Sun & Clouds and Afternoon Storms. High: 80. Friday Night: Partly Cloudy & Cool. Low: 53. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
