In another statement to People, she revealed they got the happy news "after a decade of trying." At first, Menounos attempted to get pregnant via IVF, but nothing worked, and she eventually decided to ditch that option after undergoing surgery for a benign brain tumor.
At one point, Menounos and her husband, 55, found a surrogate, but as they hashed out the details in 2021, they learned the woman wasn't a good match medically.

However, it all worked out in the end, thanks in part to the Extra host's positive attitude.
"Hopefully all will be well," she declared in a 2022 interview. "And we'll get two little brats that I will tell every day, 'You have no idea what we went through to bring you here! You better do great things in this world.'"
