Remember when Tila Tequila announced via Twitter that she was pregnant– carrying a child for her brother and his wife? Well, that wasn’t completely true. Tequila is now clearing everything up, saying that she is not pregnant- yet- but is expecting to become a surrogate for her brother. She gave an interview with Usmagazine, saying, “I said I’m going to become a surrogate mother for my brother and his wife. That means I’m going to be pregnant. But the words ‘going to be’ didn’t fit,” she explained. (Twitter posts are limited to 140 characters.) “So I said ‘I’m pregnant.’ I’m not, but I’m going to be.” She also confirmed that she is engaged to Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson, who is going to “set me up with a doctor that’s really good.” She also reported that Johnson is going to take Tila’s legal last name of Nguyen.
What was the inspiration to become a surrogate? Johnson’s own 3 year old daughter, Ava. Tequila says, “I’m going to adopt my fiancé’s daughter. So I’m going to be a stepmom to a 3-year-old pretty soon. I want to go through a process of what being pregnant feels like for the whole nine months.”
