We are paying to freeze them until… they’re going to have to come with me. I don’t know what else to do at this point because I love them so much and can’t make a decision.’Kyle was like, “We’re done having kids” and I said, “But what if?” I told him the most morbid story the other day. I was like, “What if you passed? I would have to have another kid to be connected to you and name that child after you”.’He was like, “What is wrong with you?” and I was like, “These are the things I think about Kyle.” I love being a mom and I have never told anybody that until I told you.’Their efforts around IVF treatment saw Donald Trump invite Samantha to the White House last year to discuss the President’s efforts to lower the cost of treatments.Trump praised Busch as a ‘true talent’ as he addressed the driver’s death.
