When asked if she wants to have more children, Abraham said,

“Yes I want to have more kids. I was actually pregnant but I lost it. It’s fine though. But when it happened I cried, I cried a lot because I just want to have one or two more kids and I’m done, but things happen.

They always want you to have a child, obviously I have a step daughter and I have a son but they keep asking when will you have another child.

It’s not always easy but when the time is right the pregnancy will stay and you will see it.”
