Karen Fukuhara revealed having her eggs frozen in a recent episode of ‘I’ve Never Said This Before with Tommy DiDario’ podcast. ‘The Boys’ actress shared:
“I debated about whether or not I wanted to talk about this, but I think it is really important for people to know about: I just went through an egg-freezing process.”
She explained the decision as a way to ‘ensure life later,’ adding:
“I personally did not realize how it can be an easy process — but it can also be like a longer process for some, and for me, it was longer. I just think it’s super-important for women out there to understand what their choices are.”
The Actress Says It’s Better To Get It Done Younger
The Cleveland Clinic explained egg freezing as a ‘treatment with hormones’ where eggs are removed and stored for future pregnancy. It also recommended women to consider the option ‘by age 35.’ Fukuhara said:
“It is time-sensitive. If I had known all the things I know now, I think I would have done it a couple years before, so yeah. Freeze your eggs if you can. It’s good to think about those things because options are available more when you’re younger.”
The 32-year-old actress went on:
“I didn’t really think about it until a few years back and it was like a big thought — I never dated to marry, to be honest. I just feel like when you’re in your early twenties, you don’t really think about like, ‘Oh, is he marriage material? Is he father material?’ I just never thought about it. I was like, ‘Oh, this is fun. I’m dating someone that I like.’ Recently I went through a breakup, and now I don’t have a partner. So, I was like, ‘Okay, maybe I should freeze my eggs.’”
