Tyra and Chrissy Teigen open up about their fertility struggles




More and more stars are opening up about their struggles to conceive, and now Tyra Banks and Chrissy Teigen have joined in on the conversation.

In a clip from their new lifestyle show, FABLife, the two hosts get candid about trying to start a family and the questions and criticisms they've gotten for why they haven't yet done so.

Teigen, who is married to singer John Legend, says she is asked about it "every single time I sit down for an interview with anybody."

"I can't imagine being that nosy to be like, 'So, when are the kids coming?'" she says. "Because who knows what somebody's going through?... I will say, honestly, John and I were having trouble...it's been a process. We've seen fertility doctors, and then once you open up about all those things to other people you start learning that a lot of other people in your life are seeing these people, and they have this shame about it."

Banks then decided to talk about her own struggle, something she said she hadn't planned on talking about. "I am so tired of seeing on my social media, 'Why don't you have kids? Why don't you have kids?' You don't know -- you don't know what I'm going through," she said, breaking into tears. "When I was 23 years old, I used to tell myself, 'In three years, I'm going to have kids.' Then I turned 24. 'In three years, I'm going to have kids.' Every single year I kept saying that. And then after awhile, it's like, OK, now I want to, and it's not so easy."
