Not in My DNA’: Months Into Her Pregnancy, Brooks Koepka’s Wife Jena Sims Makes Jaws Drop With Latest Announcement
On October 16, 2023, Jena Sims, the pregnant wife of professional golfer Brooks Koepka, took to Instagram to make a stunning announcement: she was not the biological mother of the baby she was carrying.
In a candid post, Sims shared that she had undergone in vitro fertilization (IVF) using donor eggs, and that the baby she was carrying was not genetically related to her. She also revealed that she had been struggling to conceive naturally for many years, and that IVF had been her last hope of becoming a mother.
“I’m not the biological mother of this baby, but I am his mother,” Sims wrote. “I’m the one who carried him, the one who will give birth to him, and the one who will raise him. I love him more than words can say.”
Sims’ announcement was met with an outpouring of support from her followers, many of whom praised her for her bravery and honesty. Some also shared their own stories of infertility and using donor eggs to conceive.
“I’m so sorry for your struggle, but I’m so happy for you and your family,” one follower wrote. “You’re an inspiration to us all.”
“I’ve been through the same thing, and I know how difficult it can be,” another follower wrote. “Thank you for sharing your story and giving others hope.”
Sims’ announcement also sparked a wider conversation about the stigma often associated with using donor eggs and other assisted reproductive technologies. Many people still believe that only “real mothers” are those who are genetically related to their children. However, Sims’ story is a powerful reminder that motherhood is about much more than biology.
Sims is due to give birth in January 2024, and she and Koepka are both excited to welcome their new arrival into the world. They have not yet revealed the baby’s gender, but they have said that they are planning to name him after one of Koepka’s favorite golfers.
In the meantime, Sims is continuing to share her pregnancy journey with her followers on social media. She has been open about the challenges she has faced, as well as the joys of motherhood. She is also using her platform to advocate for other women who are struggling to conceive.
Sims’ announcement is a reminder that there is no one right way to become a mother. There are many different paths to parenthood, and all are valid. Sims’ story is an inspiration to us all, and we wish her and Koepka all the best as they prepare to welcome their new baby into the world.
