Jamie Chung had her career in mind when she opted to use a surrogate to welcome twin sons last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was terrified of becoming pregnant,\u201d the actress, 39, told Today Parents Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was terrified of putting my life on hold for two-plus years,\u201d she added. \u201cIn my industry, it feels like you’re easily forgotten if you don’t work within the next month of your last job. Things are so quickly paced in what we do. “<\/p>\n

Chung noted that while many may think “she’s so vain” and “didn’t want to get pregnant,” her choice was “more complicated.”<\/p>\n

The \u201cReal World\u201d alum explained, \u201cI worked my ass off my entire life to get where I am. I don’t want to lose opportunities. I don’t want to be resentful. “<\/p>\n

Chung called the decision to find a gestational carrier “a compromise” that she and husband Bryan Greenberg “made together as a couple.”<\/p>\n

When the pair announced their baby boys’ arrival via Instagram in October 2021, they had not previously shared their pregnancy news.<\/p>\n

The \u201cLovecraft Country\u201d star and the \u201cOne Tree Hill\u201d alum, 44, kept quiet due to \u201ca little bit of shame,\u201d she told the outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really just did it to protect ourselves,\u201d Chung said. “We announced things when we were ready to.”<\/p>\n

Since becoming parents, the couple have been vocal via Instagram about their ups and downs with the little ones, whose names they have yet to reveal.<\/p>\n

\u201cSurviving is thriving,\u201d Chung wrote on Instagram of motherhood in May. “You roll with the punches (and kicks), laugh when times feel difficult, have a glass of wine and then get up the next morning only to do it all over again. <\/p>\n

\u201cOccasionally something magical happens; a smile, a laugh, a connection and you’re sucked right back in, \u201dshe continued. “And after all the s \u2013 t, literal and figurative, you start to enjoy the journey.”<\/p>\n

Greenberg, for his part, told his followers that same month that parenting is “tough,” but he and Chung are “taking it in stride.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
