Now, in her current relationship with boyfriend Keely Watson, the reality television star is thinking about the possibility of having another child.

Saint John described the prospect of having another child as “scary.” Saint John described her pregnancy with Lael as “horrific,” adding that she felt “terror” during every doctor’s appointment after losing her first child.

“I would have to squeeze Peter’s hand because, what if?” Saint John said of her late husband. “I am 15 years older than the last [time] I had this issue. I need some assurances, and I don’t know how to get that.”
