Fredrik Eklund isn’t afraid to be himself – even if he ends up with egg on his face! On last week’s Million Dollar Listing New York, Fredrik asked Emilia Bechrakis, the fiancé of his longtime nemesis Ryan Serhant, if she’d be an egg donor for him.
Reacting to the imposing proposition Emilia, blogged explaining her perspective and why she doesn’t think it’s the right choice for her and Ryan. Ryan, obviously because then his children could be biologically related to Fredrik’s! One big happy Bravo, family, y’all!
Calling it “unfair” that Emilia didn’t get to film a confessional on the show, Ryan turned his Bravo blog over to his love. “I have been getting so many questions about this ‘egg’ situation. Frantic calls from my family and friends in Athens and London. The occasional stare at my stomach as if in search of a bump (‘No guys that’s not what they mean by donate eggs.’) and some odd questioning of how I am feeling and if I need to eat or sleep. Ha,” begins Emilia.

“First of all, I love the thought of Fredrik and Derek becoming parents,” Emilia writes, buuuuuutttttt not with her lady bits! “When they asked me I was indeed shocked.” Explaining that she was “nervous” when at being put on the spot with such a “delicate and loaded question” from Fredrik, Emilia says she didn’t immediately say no, although the answer is ultimately no. “I instinctively said I would think about it. I really felt that I owed it to them to think about what this actually means, to really devote time to understanding couples with these challenges. My ‘middle child-minded’ disposition has me always springing into protective and rescue mode, so how could I NOT think about it!”
After considering all the factors, including what she envisions for the family she will one-day start with Ryan, Emilia decided not to donate her eggs to Fredrik and Derek.
“I weighed every aspect of it and considered even what kind of a mother I would be. I realized through this process that I am a traditional girl with dreams of one day becoming a mom myself. I have put off having children of my own, for now, because it is the most important decision I will make,” Emilia explains. “It took me forever to find the man I would want children with! I want my children to be with me all the time, raised by me and cuddled and loved by me!” And that man is Ryan?!
“The thought of knowing my child is somewhere in the world without me just hurts my soul,” Emilia shares. “I have a profound respect for women out there who donate their eggs, who are surrogates, and especially parents who are adopting children. But for me, the ability to detach emotionally has never been something I was good at!”
“With every challenge they face, I truly believe that Fredrick and Derek are being led to the right person, to the ONE. And for this I am sincerely happy,” Emilia concludes. “Luckily they get a head start on us and I can one day ask all the baby advice in the world.” Fredrik and Derek have found a surrogate and are currently expecting a daughter very soon.
