[VIDEO] Vivica Fox Gets Emotional With Bethenny, Explains Choosing Her Career Over Her Ovaries: ‘It Just Wasn’t Right!’
It’s this never-ending conversation that I, along with my friends, seem to be having more and more these days. Some of us, who focus on our careers instead of our love lives, are sometimes sacrificing love, marriage and the ‘baby carriage’. For some career driven women, it’s a frightening conversation to have with one’s self. At what point should I put the brakes on career accomplishments and put energy into a relationship? Or can I simultaneously do both, successfully? This week, actress Vivica Fox had a similar conversation with talk show host Bethenny. The 49-year-old Indiana native opened up about why her engagement to a much younger man, by the name of Omar ‘Slim’ White, ended. She surprisingly shares why she was so gong-ho about walking down the aisle, pointing to her biological clock. In between tears, she told the talk show host and viewers:
We broke up three months before the wedding. Kids wasn’t the issue at all. It just wasn’t right and I had to be honest with myself and I wasn’t happy anymore. He is a great guy, he just wasn’t for me. My brother lives in Atlanta, I was about to move my life to Atlanta, and they could see that I wasn’t happy. They said, ‘You’re just doing this because you want to have a child and you want to move closer back east,’ and all my family lives back east.
I just had been so focused for the last 20 years on Vivica and my career and the next job and what was the next thing that I could do? I wanted to do something different. I wanted to have a child and I wanted to be closer to my family. I moved away when I was 17 years old.

I might have to start watching Bethenny’s show. It was not to see a softer side of Vivica. I hope she finds her “next thing” and that it brings her happiness.
oops I meant *nice*
That’s the first time I watched an entire episode. It’s growing on me.
It was nice to see the softer side of Vivica, for who she really is. She put her true feelings out there & you could feel the sincerity. I feel for her and others who are in the same situation. Its a hard choice as a career woman but I believe as women, we’re built for juggling & multitasking (well, most!). If you don’t think about it and let it happen, you’ll be surprised how much you can do. Life goes on as a working Mom, etc. While personally, I think 45-50 is a little old to be having a baby, if she’s healthy & if that’s what she really wants then she needs to go for it. Halle & many others are proof that it can be done, especially with the medical technology that we have nowadays, and she’s financially able – man or not. I hope she works it out to become a Mom one way or the other though; she almost had me crying! So sad.
Bethanny’s wig takes away from the seriousness of the situation. Goodness, that was distracting…
LOL agreed. And she even said it.
stop all that damn crying and go get inseminated- geesh! You took your career into your own hands, now do the same with your family situation.
