Gordon heeft in een podcast onthuld dat hij ongeveer tien jaar geleden met dezelfde potentiële draagmoeder in gesprek was als Carlo Boszhard en diens partner Herald Adolfs.
Zo leuk, wij zijn bezig met een draagmoeder,
Gordon recalled hearing from Herald Adolfs, according to an interview on Paul de Leeuw’s podcast De Leeuw Brult Verder. Gordon revealed that he nearly hired a surrogate mother roughly a decade ago, only to discover that the exact same woman was in contact with television presenter Carlo Boszhard and his partner Herald Adolfs, mediacourant.nl reported.
Gordon’s Discovered Clash Over a Surrogate Mother
Gordon stated that he seriously considered pursuing fatherhood about ten years ago when a woman offered to act as a surrogate. After reviewing and verifying the arrangements, he prepared to agree to the plan. However, a phone call from Herald interrupted that euphoria.
Gordon realized during the conversation that both households were communicating with the same individual. When confronted, the woman allegedly attempted to reassure Gordon by telling him, Ja, ik had dan wel voor jou gekozen.
Shownieuws Panel Questions the Surrogate’s Intentions
The revelation prompted discussion on the Dutch entertainment program Shownieuws. Telegraaf reporter Jordi Versteegden questioned the surrogate’s motives, asking whether she intentionally targeted multiple prominent men within the television industry.
Privé editor-in-chief Evert Santegoeds noted during the broadcast that while Carlo and Herald’s long-standing desire for children was known publicly, their specific exploration of this surrogate option had never been disclosed until Gordon brought it up.
Herald Adolfs Nuances the Timeline
Jordi Versteegden subsequently spoke with Herald Adolfs to clarify the situation. According to Herald, the two couples were never in talks with the surrogate at the exact same time. Instead, one couple engaged with her first, followed by the other.
Herald maintained that no direct competition occurred between the households for the same surrogate. Meanwhile, Carlo and Herald officially abandoned their child wish three years ago after concluding that the remaining options did not suit their family.
