Building a Family: The Next Chapter for Maria and Keven
Fast forward just a few weeks after their big day, and the couple is already dreaming about the next chapter in their lives—starting a family. But here’s the thing: Maria has been through quite the journey. A few years back, she battled a brain tumor, and while she came out victorious, the experience has left her thinking carefully about how to grow her family. “I need to work with doctors to see if getting pregnant is the smartest thing,” Maria shared in a candid interview with People. “I do have some kids in the freezer,” she joked, referring to her frozen embryos, “maybe we’ll implant. But if not, we’ll look into surrogacy.”

Keven's Priorities: Protecting Maria Above All
Keven, ever the supportive partner, is all about ensuring Maria’s health comes first. “We definitely want children,” he said. “But I’m very concerned about her going through a pregnancy, and I would like to explore [using a] surrogate because her body has been through hell. I want a baby desperately, but I don’t want it to be at the risk of her health.” Can we just pause for a moment and applaud this guy? His love and concern for Maria are evident in every word he speaks. It’s clear that their relationship is built on mutual respect and care.
Finding Strength in Adversity
For Maria, the experience of battling the brain tumor has been transformative. She’s called it “the best thing to ever happen to her.” Think about that for a second. Most people would label such an event as a nightmare, but Maria sees it differently. “Would you believe me if I told you that the brain tumor is the best thing that ever happened to me?” she asked Women’s Health in December 2017. “It’s freed me from all of that anxiety of having to be perfect. You can’t control everything; leave it to God and just say, ‘Okay, this is my journey.’”

This whole experience, she says, has been a gift. “This happened for a reason,” she reflected. And honestly, who could argue with that? Sometimes, life throws curveballs, but it’s how we respond to them that defines us.
A Positive Outlook on the Future
Maria remains incredibly optimistic about what the future holds. “I really believe that God has a plan,” she said. “If I’m supposed to have a baby, it’s going to happen. If not, maybe God is protecting me from this tumor growing.” Her faith and resilience shine through in every word. We’re rooting for you, Maria, and hoping everything works out exactly as it should.
