In a follow-up post, Love shared a heartwarming video of Bailon discussing her desire to become a mother during an episode of the show. Declaring the one thing she would never give up on, Bailon noted it was her dream to have a child.

In the video, an enthusiastic Bailon said, "I am either the most resilient human being or I am wildly delusional…We get these bad notices and it’ll be like ‘and it didn’t work this time’ or you know, I’ve done multiple cycles of IVF and so many other things, and I’ll be sad for a day, like I literally will cry. And like the next day, I know this sounds psychotic, I’ll be like, ‘OK, I found three new baby names.’ I don’t know why, I refuse to let this be the end of my story. I know that it’s not. And I love it that I tell myself, it’s not a question of will I be a mother, it’s a question of when."
