And he pleaded with her to expand their parenthood experiences. “When we’re dying when we’re 110, we’ll look back and we’ll be glad we did the IVF,” claimed Kody. However, a clip from the following year then revealed Kody completely changed his mind.
And Meri questions in the clip if Kody wants another baby with her. But just months after pleading with her to welcome more children into the world, the Sister Wives patriarch backs off. And Kody admits, “Because of the stakes, I’m not burning in my gut to do it.”
