Jamie Chung and her husband Bryan Greenberg welcomed twin kids in October. Chung speaks up for the first time about her surrogacy decision to have twin boys. The Lovecraft Country star, 39, told Parents Today that her job influenced her choice to utilize a surrogate to extend her family with her husband, Bryan Greenberg.

“I was apprehensive about becoming pregnant. I was frightened of having to put my life on wait for two years or more “She informed the news organization. “If you don’t work within a month of your prior job, it feels like you’re easily forgotten in my sector. What we do moves at a breakneck speed. As a result, it’s a compromise that we reached as a couple.“

Chung said, “‘Oh, she’s so vain,’ people would undoubtedly think. She didn’t want to get pregnant,’ yet the situation is far more convoluted.” “For me, personally, and I’ll stop there,” she continued, “it’s like, I worked my ass off my entire life to get where I am.” “I don’t want to miss out on any opportunities. I’m not looking to be resentful.“

Before announcing the birth of their twins last October, Chung and Greenberg, 44, kept their pregnancy news a secret. Part of the reason they didn’t announce their pregnancy was due to the stigma that surrounds surrogacy, according to the actress.

“I think there’s a little sense of guilt,” she explained, “since it’s still not a very common thing and we weren’t prepared for criticism.” “We really simply did it to protect ourselves,” Chung said. “We disclosed things when we were ready to.” In March, Chung posted a frank video on Instagram about transitioning to motherhood with Greenberg. As she cradled her head in her hand, Chung wrote over the footage, “This is what it’s actually like raising twin 5 month old babies.“

Greenberg was seen battling to stay awake while giving one of their sons a bottle in the video. The One Tree Hill alum lay his head on a pillow and held a bottle for their baby, who was rocked in a baby chair. Their other youngster was laid out on a play mat in the backdrop. Similarly, Ashley Graham displayed her 40-week pregnancy belly with Twins in January.

“They claimed that becoming a parent is the best thing that could ever happen to you. This is how it feels like to have twin 5-month-old babies “Chung wrote the caption. “I had a good morning cry, then dashed away for a 45-minute workout and am now able to laugh about it. If you’ve emailed me and haven’t received a response, I appreciate your patience. #twinbabies #parenthood #momlife” Chung spoke with PEOPLE in January about the “daunting adjustment” of battling postpartum depression as a first-time mother.

“Therapy helped me mentally prepare for this lifestyle change and to not be frightened to talk about certain difficulties since it’s not the first thing you want to talk about when you have kids,” the actress said. “I don’t want to start off on a negative or difficult note, but I believe these postpartum depression concerns are really genuine.“

“I felt a lot of shame for feeling the way I did. And just understanding that it’s normal, and that it’s simply because you’re overwhelmed, anxious, and it’s a difficult change for some people,” Chung continued.
