Sunny Leone, who is often admired for her candidness, recently revealed a deeply personal chapter of her life on Soha Ali Khan’s podcast All About Her. The actress opened up about her first painful experience with surrogacy, when she lost four embryos bearing girl children, calling the journey ‘disheartening’.
Sunny Leone opens up about heartbreaking surrogacy journey: “Four girls went, two boys stayed”
“There wasn’t really a plan, but the original plan was having one through surrogacy, and then in a few years, we wanted to follow our careers. At that moment, it wasn’t good timing, but it was good timing in our hearts. It was good timing to share our life with somebody, just not physically coming through me,” Sunny shared.
Talking about the process, she continued, “So, we thought of looking into it and trying it. We harvested my eggs, and we made these six beautiful embryos out of them… We had four girls and two boys. We always thought about having a girl first. That didn’t work out; four girls went. Then, we switched doctors, and the two embryos that are two boys are with me.”
The actress further explained why she and Daniel also applied for adoption during this difficult phase. “In that time, we had also applied for adoption because the process of going through IVF and surrogacy is disheartening when things don’t go your way. It can also become a very lengthy process. I got to know within a week that four of them aren’t going to survive.”
Sunny also reflected on the emotional toll the process took and added, “Daniel and I were there for each other for emotional support. We didn’t tell anybody. We wanted to figure this out on our own first. He is pretty supportive, and we had the same feelings towards having a child.”
Recounting a particularly painful moment, she revealed, “Our surrogate had high HCG levels, but the sack was empty. The problem with IVF is that the second that embryo goes in, you are pregnant psychologically. You are planning a baby room, and so many different things go through your mind. Then all of a sudden, it’s not there, the sack is empty. This happened twice with the same doctor. He wasn’t very nice, so we decided to switch.”
Despite the heartbreak, Sunny Leone and her husband Daniel Weber eventually found joy in parenthood. The couple, who tied the knot in 2011 in a private ceremony, are now proud parents to three children – their twin boys born via surrogacy and their daughter Nisha Kaur Weber, whom they adopted from Latur in 2017.
